Tom...I think you are right about feeding the contents of the csv file
to the shell instead of psql. After drilling down a bit more into my
script, I now think I have a UNIX shell script problem rather than a
psql problem.
I do appreciate everyone's input as it has been most helpful in my

The -c argument there specifies a command to run, so it needs an argument of
some kind. It looks like ultimately the .csv file gets handed
Hi
You could try to do "set +x" before running the script...
Thank you.

Actually, the -c was in an example of a copy command that I found while
working at my last job. I tried executing the command without the -c and
got the same results as before, so I suppose I really don't know what it
means.

Thank you for the reminders, John. I changed my .z file extension to
.tmp and removed the trailing / from my pre-defined directory path.
I'm still getting the same results as before though after changing the
.z file extension to .tmp.
The ${DBNAME} and ${HOSTNAME} variables are input at run

Given the meaning of “-c” what are you expecting that to do?
David J.
Can't really tell. You might want to post the output of the "printenv"
command to show us what the shell variables you are using have in them.
Oh, does ${CSVPATH} end in a slash? If it is something like "~/mycsvs" then
${CSVPATH}copycmd.z will expand to "~/mycsvscopycmd.z". Most "PATH"
I am trying to use the copy command from a csv files using a UNIX shell
script but something is 'not found'...I can't figure out what is 'not
found'. Below is my command from the shell script, the executed command,
the content of the csv file and the output from trying to execute the
command.
