Dear all,

When I tried to run receive.sh,it returned following errors.
syntax error near unexpected token `do

Execute your script with the trace option -x

Hello,Mr.Jean-Pierre

Sorry for any misreading ,did you mean that I should modify the code like following?

I executed the sh file with sh filename.sh,is this correct?

Dear Mr.Jean,I just touched the Korn shell script several days,thank you so much for your assistance.

Regards,
Joshua.Duan

No he meant:

set -x

exec 0<Property
while read LineInProperty
do
if [ ${LineInProperty:0:11} = New_receive ]
then
GlobalValueReceive={LineInProperty:25}
fi
if [ {LineInProperty:0:11} = New_working ]
then
GlobalValueWorking={LineInProperty:25}
fi
if [ ${LineInProperty:0:8} = New_temp ]
then
GlobalValueTemp={LineInProperty:22}
fi
done

Hi,I've corrected the code as above.The file ran normally,but it had a error prompt: :invalid option line 2 : set: -2 (the snap shot is in the attachment.)

I can't remove set -x,or the code won't run.What shall I do?

#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

GlobalValueWorking=w


exec 0<Property

while read LineInProperty
do
  if [ ${LineInProperty:0:11} = New_working ]
  then
     GlobalValueWorking={LineInProperty:25}
  fi
done

I don't get why the set -x option would stop this running if removed, what happens when you do?

Hi,LiquidChild

The issue is resloved,I edited the code in Windows and uploaded it to a Unix machine,so the error occured,I format it to Unix format with UltraEditor and modified sentences such like

then all the sh files ran well in Unix server.

I don't know which release the Kore shell is,typed $ print $(.sh.version) and $ what /bin/ksh entirely returned "Command not found",but anyway,appreciate your kind aid.

With ksh, -x is a valid option for set .
Try to create and execute the following small script. It must run without problem.

#!/usr/bin/ksh 
set -x
echo $SHELL

If you get an error, the problem comes from your shell, otherwise rewrite the lines 1 and 2 of your script (and correct the little error, see below) and retry.

#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x

GlobalValueWorking=w

exec 0<Property

while read LineInProperty
do
  if [ ${LineInProperty:0:11} = New_working ]
  then
     GlobalValueWorking=${LineInProperty:25}
  fi
done
