problem with DSExecute

Hi,
I am calling a shell script through DSExecute also giving option with it e.g. test.sh -D 20060101 & this parameter I m using in test.sh

But when i run this null value goes into that parameter.

Is there any routine to execute the same ???

thanks,
Vinod

What's the EXACT command line string you are passing?

this my test.sh

getopts "D" option
STARTDATE=${OPTARG}
echo ${STARTDATE}
cd /prop/shr/tng/data/cim
ftp -v -n servername <<EOF
user username password
cd /prod/shr/tng/data/tinaarbor/rejects/tina
mget CDR_DATA_ARCHIVE_${STARTDATE}.dat
bye
EOF

to execute this i am calling routine
DSExecute("UNIX", "test.sh -D 20060101", Output, SystemReturnCode)

I don't think your syntax for getopts is correct. You can verify this by echo'ing $0, $1, $2, $3 to see command line arguments passed. You'll see that your command line contains the date.
