echo "Enter a filename:"
read fname
echo $fname
echo "Converting "$fname" to rex"
rwconverter userid=.../... batch=yes overwrite=yes stype=rdffile source=$fname dtype=rexfile

I placed the file in the correct custom path and executed the sh file.
The error I received was "cannot execute"

Any suggestions??

I think you're wrong, Michel. RWCONVERTER is used (here) to convert Oracle Reports' RDF files into REX.

Unfortunately, I don't know what "cannot execute" means. Heisenberg, could you copy/paste command line session so that we could see what's going on? I don't use Unix, but someone (who does) might know how to assist.

Ah! OK, "cannot execute" means the script or program has not its execution bit set for the user.
Change the set permission bit using "chmod":
chmod u+x -- to change the permission for owner only
chmod g+x -- to change the permission for accounts with same group than the file (script or program)
chmod o+x -- to change the permission other accounts
chmod a+x or chmod +x -- to change for all

I have already given full 777 permission to the file and the RWConverter file also has the full permission. The following is the commandline session:

$ sh rdftorex.sh
Enter a filename:
file_name.rdf
': not a valid identifier: `fname

Converting to rex
rdftorex.sh: line 5: /path/rwconverter: cannot execute
$
