Is there a way to append spool files?

Hi All,

I have been asked by someone whether its possible to append to a spool file in sql*plus. i.e. do something like:

spool file.a
do some sql
do some more sql
spool off

spool file.b
do some sql
do some sql
spool off

spool file.a -- but do not lose the original content BUT add to it do some sql
do some sql
spool off

The only thing I can think of is to use os commands to save the file before the second spool and use cat afterwards to build the file but it would be nice to be able to do it in sqlplus only?

cheers

Pete
