Shell script fails to export the variable

Posted on by

I am trying to export this variable DNA from my local machine, but I am not sure why I keep getting error. I am exporting this because I am working with docker image and want docker to use this variable after exporting this variable from my local machine. What could be the reason it won’t export?

#!/bin/bash 
SHELLDROP=0
FULLSM="ADNI_1380^LP6005117-DNA_G04^ADNI_WGS"
export DNA="$(echo "${FULLSM}" | cut -d^ -f2)";

My Docker entrypoint.sh

#!/bin/bash
set -x
quit () {
echo "[$(display_date $(${DATE}))] Run failed at  step, exit code: 1"
 if [ "${SHELLDROP}" -eq 1 ]; then echo "Dropping to shell"; exec "/bin/bash"; else exit 1; fi
 }

if [ -z "${DNA}" ]; then echo "ERROR, must provide DNA in variable ${DNA}"; quit "Job Config"; fi

Error:
