HERE_DOCUMENT
How to create a file on the fly

HERE_DOCUMENT contains examples which illustrate the use of "here documents".

A "here document" is a method for creating a small file as part of a job script. This is usually a convenience for dealing with situations in which a single job script is desired, but where the job script from time to time needs to "feed" small input files to other commands it invokes. A "here document" is a method of creating such a file by listing its contents as part of the script.
