I had seen this is a sqlplus quick reference card, and also saw it in some code, but never tried it. I wanted to have someone else say that this is the way to do it and you have done this for me. Thank you<br />

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I am running a script that connects to sqlplus and executes a file using the sqlplus connect_string @somefile. This file may generate errors but when sqlplus quits, the $status variable is still 0. How can I get sqlplus to set an exit status to non-zero if an error is encountered or is sqlplus setting some other variable. I am running Oracle 7.3.3 on AIX 4.2.1.<br />
<br />
Thanx<br />

sqlplus doesn't give exit status
