Error occured while trying to spool a file with $ORACLE_SID in 11.2.0.4.0 version in HP-UX Platform

##########################
## Command Executed
##########################

spool /u01/pass/$ORACLE_SID_Pass.log

**************************************** Step By Step Analysis ******************************************************

#########################################
# 1) Reason for Failure
#########################################

The output we are looking from spool command is "dbname_Pass.log". Here we are using $ symbol which seems to be a OS Limitation.

So to eliminate this error, we need to use ${VARIABLE_NAME}
