Hi,

I think what is happening is that your Unix environment is interpretting the @ as the "delete line" character, so anything preceding it is ignored. ( try typing stty -a at the $ prompt to see your character assignments ). So all Unix sees is "rdbms/admin/catalog.sql", which it interprets as a Unix script.

Sounds like you tried other things. Try running svrmgrl interactively as follows:

   >svrmgrl
   >connect internal
   >start rdbms/admin/catalog.sql

Note the use of the command "start" inside svrmgrl, instead of the @ sign, which might still get clobbered by the shell.

HTH. Dave.
