SQL*Plus report output

I am spooling the output of a select statement to a file. The output gets properly sent to the file. However, the select statement is also being output to the file - it appears at the top of the file, before the actual output.

How can I suppress the code from being sent to the output file?

My code looks like this:

spool C:\Filename.txt

/* Here is my select statement */

select * from TABLENAME;

spool off

The output file looks like this:

/* Here is my select statement/

select * from TABLENAME;
row1
row2
row3
