Hi,

You can do it in scripts(shell or dos).
But you can do it with in sqlplus also....

for instance you want to add system date to the file name then

SQL> column mydate new_val thedate;
SQL> select sysdate as mydate from dual;
SQL> spool C:\...\filename&thedate.txt

or if you want to pass the file name interactively then

you can simply
SQL> spool C:\...\&filename

then during execution it will prompt you to enter
the file name.....

so basically you will use & to make it a variable.

Bala.
