    All,

    Thanks to the following people for their unbelievably quick responses !!

    Jim Vandevegt
    Kevin Smith
    Gary Paveza
    Dale Hichert
    John Julian
    Reggie Beavers
    Lucien Hercaud
    Daniel Denes
    Mary Dell

    The reason it would not run, was down to my own stupidity !! When I
    specified the "read ANSWER", I had prefixed it with a $ (see below)
    Once I removed the dollar sign, it ran okay. Also, I had put esac on the
    end, but I forgot to paste it into my original email, but thanks for
    pointing it out anyway.

    print -n -- "PLEASE CHOOSE TO EITHER RELEASE ALL DRIVES OR BY AN
    INDIVIDUAL FRAME. ( FR1 / FR2 / ALL ) : > "

            read $ANSWER

    case $ANSWER in

            ALL|all) for drive in $ALL_DRIVE_LIST
                  do
                     echo ""
                     echo "****** Now releasing drive $drive ******"
                     echo ""
                    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname
    $drive
                done
            ;;
    esac

    Many Thanks for all your help

    Andy

    Subject: Help required writing a case statement

    All,

    I am writing a script which requires me to embed a for loop within a
    case statement. I have had a go at doing it (sample of code below), but
    this does not run. However, the for loop on its own does run okay.

    Does anyone have any idea if this can be done & if so what's the best
    way to write it ?

    case $ANSWER in

            ALL) for drive in $ALL_DRIVE_LIST

    do
            echo ""
            echo "****** Now releasing drive $drive ******"
            echo ""
                    /usr/openv/volmgr/bin/vmoprcmd -crawlreleasebyname
    $drive
    done ;;

    Thanks in advance.
