Hi all

Please confirm you can generate this bug, or is it not a bug. According to
me it is a bug.

in the following example you start a << EOF and end EOF between a if/fi
statement. All OK.
But now change to blablabla... <<EOF
EOF_ {Replace the '_' to a normal space char}

Now run and script does not work. !!!
Take it out of if/fi and works again.

#-----snip ---
#!/usr/bin/ksh
TEST='abc'

if [ "$TEST" = "abc" ]; then
ftp -i -n 10.ip.ip.ip << EOF
user your_username your_password
ls
exit

EOF
#Add a space to above line after the EOF, script fails

fi
#---- end snip ----
