This is exactly the problem I have with my sqlplus call.
Is there a way to solve it without introducing the d2u filter ?

What I do is:

RESULT=`sqplus -s user/ps AT DATABASE << EOF
sql-commands here
EOF

and it is easy to change it to 

RESULT=`sqplus -s user/ps AT DATABASE << EOF | d2u
sql-commands here
EOF

(is working)

For native UNIX systems the "d2u" command is unnecessary.
I could do something like
D2U="| d2u" under Cygwin
and
D2U="" under UNIX
and write
RESULT=`sqplus -s user/ps AT DATABASE << EOF | $D2U

But this still requires that I touch the scripts.
And we have a lot of such scripts, Cygwin is just one platform and I
have not access to all shell sources.

Best regards,
Thomas
