perhaps you need a / between ${dir_temp} and *.unl:

Code:

cp /ppscdr/cdrp2p/temp/${dir_temp}/*.unl /ppscdr/cdrp2p/${dir_temp}

no this ${dir_temp}*.unl mean the file need to copy.

Make
#!/bin/sh -f

to this:
#!/bin/sh

And this:
cp /ppscdr/cdrp2p/temp/${dir_temp}*.unl /ppscdr/cdrp2p/${dir_temp}

to this:
cp -r /ppscdr/cdrp2p/temp/${dir_temp}*.unl /ppscdr/cdrp2p/${dir_temp}
