Re: Parameter to teh spool command

Thanks, but it works only in SQL*Plus.
In a simplest test - I created a two line script test.sql:

spool off
spool &1

when called from server manager prompt, on SUN Solaris:

SVRMGRL> @test.sql my_log.txt

creates spool file &1.log. And similar if I use $1 - it creates file $1.log. The same happens when I call the script from server manager in DOS.

I guess I have to live with SQL*Plus

Thanks
