Not answering your question, but: please don't use this format.  This
results in your configure file being egregiously and needlessly
bash-specific; it is not portable and will not run with POSIX-compliant
sh implementations.

Instead, use:

        ORAENV_ASK=NO
        ORACLE_SID=SID1
        export ORAENV_ASK ORACLE_SID
        . oraenv

Writing sh-compliant scripts is not much more onerous than writing bash
scripts, once you know the difference, and it's a huge boon to people
trying to use your code on systems where bash is not /bin/sh (even a
number of Linux distributions now use smaller, faster shells for /bin/sh
rather than bash).

If you want an easy way to check, install ash or dash or similar on your
system and use those to run your configure script.
