Thank you very much, it worked!!

Just FYI, I tried this way, it worked on 10gR2 (Linux), but gave error on 9iR2 (HP-UX):

Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options JServer Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production

SQL> @getspid1

                   (select paddr from v$session
                    *

ERROR at line 3:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row

SQL> !cat getspid1.sql

select spid from v$process
where addr=

                   (select paddr from v$session
                    where audsid = userenv( 'sessionid' )) ;

I suspect most probably a bug which I did not patch. Just to share, don't have to reply :-).
