ksh shell script error: Segmentation fault(coredump)???

[wellster34]

Hi,

We are running a ksh script from the command on a unix box. It fails with the following:

postrans_tmp_tchqf.bat[86]: 172570 Segmentation fault(coredump)

After checking the script at line 86, we found another command which executes another script.

. sql_plus.bat

The sql_plus.bat exists in the same directory as the postrans script. I had this error before but it was a very long time ago.

Does anyone have any ideas to try or have experienced this error before?

Thanks for your time

what's in the sql_plus.bat file?

 

[wellster34]

It is another ksh script that executes sqlplus against an Oracle database.

something dumps core. You might have a 'core' file in the same directory. Find a dumped 'core' file and find out how's dumping it by:
file core

Have you tried just running the sql_plus.bat file? Do you get a core dump when just that is run? What happens when you run the commands that are in sql_plus.bat manually against the database?

Can you believe it... I changed the name of the script and it worked successfully. Why did the file name cause a coredump???

I changed it

FROM postrans_tmp_tchqf.bat

TO postrans_tmp_qf.bat

3 less characters... and it worked successfully. How Bizzare?
