I want to issue sqlplus command from my DOS or UNIX shell and, assuming that returning value is a single value, to capture it in script variable for futher use (to display or use in further process). I.e. I want to fetch a file name from some table, then use that name to open file in batch program.
How should my sql script look like, and how my DOS/UNIX one? Any ideas?

In Unix it could be done with backticks.
You have to make shure the SQL returns JUST the value when started (No table header, no "connected to" messages. An example would be :
-----
#!/bin/bash
TEST =`sqlplus -s user/password@database <<!
set FEEDBACK OFF
set HEADING OFF
set PAGES 0
set TAB off
select value
from table
where thingie = something;
!`
echo $TEST
-----
But in DOS(Windows) that obviously doesn't work. ;-)
If you look for a solution that works under Unix and DOS without any modifikation to the scripts I would have a look at PERL.
