Problem running anonymous plsql blocks from shell script

[blakmk]

Im trying to run an anonymous plsql block from a shell script using sqlplus -s but the command doesnt seem to get run. Does anyone know if there are there any known issues with doing this?

Here is te shell script im trying to run against an oracle 8.1.6 database.

#!/usr/bin/sh

#######################################################################
# Script to create privileged database user
# usage: CreateSchema.sh [USERNAME] [PASSWORD]
#

USERNAME=$1
USERPASSWORD=$2

if [ -n "$2" ]
then
echo creating user $1
else
echo Insufficient number of arguments- please supply more arguments
echo usage: CreateSchema.sh [USERNAME] [PASSWORD]
echo WARNING: THIS SCRIPT WILL DROP THE EXISTING USER IF IT ALREADY EXISTS
exit
fi

sqlplus -s /nolog << EOF

whenever sqlerror exit sql.sqlcode;
set serveroutput on
set echo on

What's the error?

It doesnt execute the anonymous block. it doesnt even execute the SELECT sysdate as endtime from dual;
statement at the end of the script. However it does execute the
"SELECT sysdate as starttime from dual" statement at the beginning of the script which proves that sqlplus is recognozing commands from within the here document.
