I have a script that should connect to oracle and run a query.

When I run the script I get the following error.

ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/10.2.0 
export ORACLE_HOME 
atm_test.sh: ORACLE_HOME^M: is not an identifier

My script looks like this.

ORACLE_HOME=/app/oracle/product/10.2.0; export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=sid; export ORACLE_SID
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/bin; export PATH
...

In the shell when I echo $ORACLE_HOME it outputs /app/oracle/product/10.2.0

So I don’t know what the issue could be.

    Your script has Windows-style line endings. Run it through dos2unix or a similar tool. (Note that, unlike most filters, dos2unix overwrites the input file, so be careful.)

    Are you using Cygwin?
