Problem with ksh script

Question

Hi
This is for scripting gurus,
I am on "SunOs"
I have created below ksh script to fetch table space info; problem is that I can not have any out put in my variable (TS_DATA);; I don't want to use utl file in my pl/sql can any one tell what went wrong with my script. Thanks in advance
temp() {
GET_DB_PASS
TS_DATA=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOSQL
whenever sqlerror exit failure
set serveroutput on
set feedback off
set pause off
set echo off
set heading off
set verify off
connect ${l_connect_string}
DECLARE
TYPE t_task_tab IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 (1000)
INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
t_tab_space_name t_task_tab;
t_tot_byte t_task_tab;
t_fr_byte t_task_tab;
t_max_chunk t_task_tab;
t_rpt_txt t_task_tab;
t_rpt_num t_task_tab;
l_count number :=0;
BEGIN
SELECT tablespace_name,NVL(SUM(bytes),1),1,1
BULK COLLECT INTO t_tab_space_name,t_tot_byte,t_fr_byte,t_max_chunk
FROM dba_data_files
GROUP BY tablespace_name;
FOR i IN t_tab_space_name.FIRST..t_tab_space_name.LAST
LOOP
SELECT NVL(SUM(b.bytes), 1) INTO t_fr_byte(i)
FROM dba_free_space b
WHERE t_tab_space_name(i) = b.tablespace_name;
IF (95 < 100-(t_fr_byte(i)*100/t_tot_byte(i))) THEN
l_count := l_count + 1;
SELECT t_tab_space_name(i),TO_CHAR(ROUND(100-(t_fr_byte(i)*100/t_tot_byte(i)), 2))
INTO t_rpt_txt(i),t_rpt_num(i) FROM dual
WHERE 95 < 100-(t_fr_byte(i)*100/t_tot_byte(i));
dbms_output.put_line(t_rpt_txt(i));
dbms_output.put_line(l_count);
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;

if this is SunOS specifice, is the wrong mailing list..
what about someting simple:
cat y.sh#!/usr/bin/ksh
temp() {
TS_DATA=`sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOSQL
connect scott/tiger
select count(*) from emp;
exit
EOSQL`
echo "${TS_DATA}"
temp
./y.shConnected.
COUNT(*)
15

so works fine on Linux......
not sure what you are up to, but
#!/usr/bin/ksh
temp() {
sqlplus -s /nolog <<EOSQL
connect scott/tiger
select count(*) from emp;
exit
EOSQL
temp
also should write the output to the stdout; not really sure why you need to use variables to store the results
