Pass a parameter from Oracle Applications to UNIX Kornshell

How do I go about passing a parameter from Oracle Applications to UNIX Kornshell?

Not knowing Oracle it's difficult to relate, but I would say you will need to pipe it to a shell script, with the shell script expecting it as a $1 parameter.

e.g. oracle_app |shell_script

bgreen, can you give an example?

Well, if you do export variable=value then that variable will be set for that shell and all its children. However I don't know of any way to get that variable exported to the parent shell or shells of other processes (for example oracle or vice versa).

Hope that helps.

Cheers!
