[Rene Mendez_4]

System HPUX 11.i
In profile the user sybase
call ./SYBASE.sh script

If I use #su - sybase

Report the error:
${HOME:-.}/.profile[28]: SHLIB_PATH: parameter not set

And no set the variable

If I run script out the profile work

Script SYBASE.sh content :
#!/usr/bin/ksh
SYBASE=/sybase12
export SYBASE
SYBASE_FTS=FTS-12_0
export SYBASE_FTS
PATH=/sybase12/ASE-12_0/bin:/sybase12/OCS-12_0/bin:$PATH
export PATH
SHLIB_PATH=/sybase12/ASE-12_0/lib:/sybase12/FTS-12_0/lib:/sybase12/OCS-12_0/lib:
/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib/Motif1.2:/sybase12/SQLRemote/lib:$SHLIB_PATH
export SHLIB_PATH

I think from what you are saying that the problem is with the .profile, not the SYBASE:sh script.

the "parameter not set" error normally occurs when there is a test ("test, [ or [[) that is testing a variable that hasn't been set yet.

It would be worth posting your .profile so we can see that too.

My profile only include
. /sybase12/SYBASE.sh

And the script is in /sybase12/SYBASE.sh

This problem is that SHLIB_PATH is either being not set, or modified by you inclusion along the following course.

/etc/profile
.profile

SHLIB_PATH being set correct and valid is a requirement of many database installations/scripts.

Hi Rene,

The statement "set -u" prompts the shell to return an error if a variable was not previously set. So, the error should be coming from

SHLIB_PATH=/sybase12/ASE-12_0/lib:/sybase12/FTS-12_0/lib:/sybase12/OCS-12_0/lib:
/usr/lib:/lib:/usr/lib/Motif1.2:/sybase12/SQLRemote/lib:$SHLIB_PATH

So, add set +u to your SYBASE.sh and try.
