What should the return code be for sqlplus?
Shell script in an UNIX OS can return codes up to 255. E.g. “ORA-12703 this character set conversion is not supported” return code should be 12703, but it doesn’t fit into UNIX 8-bit return code. sqlplus returned 168 (!). So the actual return code 936 was wrapped at 256 and just remainder got returned. 936%256=168.
