Hi gurus,

I'm trying to pass a parameter from unix into a sqlplus script. The parameter contains a space, i.e. "JOB SERVER" I have tried passing it with both single and double quotations, but the sql script only accepts the first word in the string. It works fine if the parameter does not contain a space.

Can anybody tell me what I'm not doing wrong??

TIA - Your replies are much appreciated.

Best Regards,

Barry
