Sqlplus "spool" and "dd" worked in 8, but not in 9?

Our group here had a "report" that went over 2gb.

In version 8.1.7.4 on HPUX they did a pipe and then did a "dd of the pipe to the "over 2gb" file name.

We converted the database to 9.2.0.4 and now this utility goes to never, never land. Nothing gets written to the pipe and it appears dd never sees anything to make it's output file.

I've not done the "digging" and this is the first I've seen this kind of situation, but perhaps with other warehouses out there someone else has already "been there, done that, this is what you do?????"

I've requested them to run the thing with no "dd" or pipe. Version 9 may support spool files over 2gb.

Anyone else have input on this?
