This simple script worked in 1 env but didn't work in another.
Problem is it can't produce the file as it can't read thru EOF. Why and how to fix it?
cat >> $out_file <<-EOF
first line of data
second line of data
more data
the end of the data
EOF

I think it's the env problem but don't know what and how to fix it.

I created a simple a.sh:

>cat a.sh
cat >> abc.output <<-EOF
first line of data
second line of data
more data
the end of the data
EOF

After ran it:
> a.sh
supposed to have a file containing 4 lines but it's empty:

>ls -ltr abc.output
-rw------- 1 p1332 staff 0 Oct 19 17:22 abc.output

I was actually trying to run sqlplus like:
sqlplus scott/tiger << EOF
select sysdate from dual;
EOF

As it won't read thru between EOF as well.
