OUT PARAMETER FROM ORACLE 
Ever wanted to execute an
 Oracle Procedure which contains
 an out parameter, and use the
 value returned from the out
 parameter in the shell variable.
 
 Try out this. The procedure
 test1 adds two nos. and returns
 output into the out parameter.
 
 export ORACLE_HOME=< type in your Oracle Home Path >
 export ORACLE_SID=< Mention the Oracle SID >
 export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH  # This Path
 is set to access the sqlplus executable
 dummyvar=`sqlplus -s tcon4iqalib/tcon4iqalib  <
set pagesize 0 feedback off ver off heading off echo off
 serverout on
 variable verr_mesg number
 exec test1(4,5,:VERR_MESG)
 print verr_mesg
 exit;
 end`
 echo " Error is " $dummyvar
 echo " Result is " $dummyvar
 echo $dummyvar
 #end of shell script
