That might have worked, but I have a switch case somewhere in the code, 
and the parenthesis from the case conflicts with the parenthesis from 
the block.


# create a command block to redirect the output
(

# backup
case "$MODE" in
    FULL)
        $RMANBIN target / nocatalog << EOF
BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL 0 CUMULATIVE DATABASE TAG 'FULL-$(date +%A)';
EOF
