    Ken - thanks for your response. My remaining question is - how do I set
    them? Googling indicated this should work ...

    #!/bin/bash
    setenv ISC_USER xyz
    setenv ISC_PASSWORD 999ans

    ... but it returns setenv command not found. Looking at the man entry it
    seems setenv is a function to be called from a program. Is there an
    equivalent which can be called from a script?

    Thanks

    Mike

    which then calls some sql scripts and finally I want to
