Shell: Empty shell script opening issue

Question

I have been working on mainly the 2 jobs:

1.Creating a total of 170 input files

All of them named as "STEP0.sh"
All of them contain their unique directory and unique file number (000 ~ 169)

Copying each file right after being created and modified into the folder with the same name as the file (without extension)

After copying the file into its folder, the file must be deleted to create a new file with the name of "STEP0.sh"

Here is what I have written:

source pSTEP0.sh

for file in ${NAME}_*;do
    vim STEP0.sh;
    echo 'DIR=''"'$DIR'/'${file}'"' >> STEP0.sh;
    echo 'IN=''"'${file}'.vcf"' >> STEP0.sh;
    echo 'NAME=''"'${file}'"' >> STEP0.sh;
    cp STEP0.sh ./${file};
    rm STEP0.sh;
done;
exit

The source file: pSTEP0.sh contains these information

DIR="/sc/arion/projects/Itan_lab/minju/annotations/gnomAD/split"
NAME="gnomAD"

<> The script perfectly worked so that I could get a total of 170 "STEP0.sh" files within each of 170 folders. However, after executing the shell script, several empty shell scripts remain open even though the job was completed. Thus, I had to close all those empty shell script by manually putting ':wq' several times (more than 100 times)

<> How can I close these empty shell scripts just by modifying the shell script I have written? (automatically closed after executing the bash script)
