Found text 'KSC_EXIT_STATUS' without a '$?' and without an exit status.

We are getting this error frequently.
We have already implemented solution provided in HP blog like change prompt to $.
But it does not fix this error.

We have moved from Hp UNIX to Red hat Linux.
We have seen this error in HP UNIX but very rarely.

Hello Rahul,

Could you please tell me what was the possible solution that HP provided you? I have found that This may happen when the command line prompt is a long prompt. Solution: Set the prompt to be a short prompt Change the command prompt to be a short string by setting the following in the .profile.

Please let me know if this helped you.

Best Regards,

Carolina.

This is solution

Still i get error randomly.

----------------------

Checking our knownledge database I found out that this may happen when the command line prompt is a long prompt. Example: If the following is set in the .profile, you will receive the above error for sqlplus check or in execution logs: PS1=`hostname`:'abc/test/oracle/temp/dump/trump/dust/rust-> '

A solution could be "PS1" setting will avoid the possibly having an issue of exceeding command line length restrictions. Set the prompt to be a short prompt. Change the command prompt to be a short string by setting the following in the .profile: PS1="$"

Let's try to change

export TERM=vt100
export PS1='$: '

for

export TERM=Dumb

PS1='$' or "$"
