the following sqlplus statement is contained in the unix shell script.

sqlplus $CONNECT @$EXTRACTDIR/gopal/spool_file.sql

The spool_file.sql defines the spooling and selecting from exp_tables.

spool d:\gopal\spool.lst
select * from exp_tables;

i need to pass the argument to the (spool_file.sql) sql file such as "d:\gopal\spool.lst", how can i do it.

pls help on this.

sqlplus @$EXTRACTDIR/gopal/spool_file.sql argument1 argument2 ....

for e.g. in your case

sqlplus @$EXTRACTDIR/gopal/spool_file.sql d:\gopal\spool.lst

 and inside spool_file.sql

 spool &&1  <--- here 1 represents first argument
select * from exp_tables;
