Proper assignment of env variables always requires no spaces around the = sign.

For POSIX and ksh shells, this is preferred for readability:
export ORACLE_BASE=/usr01/u01/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/product/8.1.6
> export PATH
PATH is always exported as it is a shell predefined variable. Once a variable has been defined as exported, it no longer needs defining the attribute again.
