Re: passing values to sql script freom dos prompt please help! need it urgently

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help.
I tried the following but it doesn.t seem to work

sql script name = test.sql
body:
spool &filename
select * from tab;
spool off

from the dos prompt i gave
c:\>sqlplus -s <username/pwd>@database @ test.sql tables.log

It still asks me enter the filename.

thanks
