How about this:
#!/bin/ksh
GetMaxLog()
{
sqlplus -s <<SQLEOF
/ as sysdba
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set verify off
set feedback off
set echo off
set trimspool on
set linesize 132
select ltrim(to_char(max(sequence#)))
from v\$archived_log
where archived='YES';
SQLEOF
}
v_MaxLog=`GetMaxLog`
echo The max redo log file generated is: $v_MaxLog
exit
