I believe the it is as follows:

        Run SQL*Plus


        |       THIS SHOULD NOT BE HERE

        |       | database username

        |       | |   database password

        |       | |   |   Redirect output to file filename.dat

        |       | |   |   |              Read input up to the next line

starting with "!", 


        |       | |   |   |              |  this is what is called a

"here-document", for more


        |       | |   |   |              |  on here-documents see any man

page for sh or ksh


        |       | |   |   |              |

        sqlplus - sys/msd > filename.dat <<!
