  1. creating file name from command line argument.

    Hello,

    I am using sql as alias to run db2 command in ksh shell.
    alias sqllog="apply 'db2 -tvf %1 > %1.log'"
    This command adds .log to foo1.sql.

    Please give me a solution to replace .sql with .log

    Thanks

    I tried sed below. It doesn't give me error
    alias sqllog="apply 'db2 -tvf %1 > sed s/sql/log/ %1' " . Can someone
    point out where I am going wrong. Thanks.

    Aliases don't do parameter substitution, use a function.
