    Exclamation

    I have written a shell script to login to sqlplus, run sql and spool into a text file.
    Here is a part of the script:
    sqlplus $login < set feed off;
    set verify off;
    set head off;
    set echo off;
    set termout off;
    #set page 0;
    spool $pth/GLACCT.D$dt;
    select rownum||'|'||acct||'|'||acct_desc||'|'||entity||'|'||org_cd||'|'||prod_cd||'|'||state||'|'||invest_y ear||'|'||
    amt_class||'|'||curr_cd||'|'||amt from bar_stg_ss_acct_balance
    where aud_hdr_id in (select aud_hdr_id from bar_aud_hdr where to_char(load_dt,'mm/dd/yyyy')=to_char(sysdate,'mm/dd/yyyy'))
    /
    spool off;

    Now the problem is the text file also contains the sql and the command spool off besides the data . How do I eliminate that from getting spooled??

    If you don't want your sql echoed to the screen, you have to run it from a script file.

    example - run this as a script and from sqlplus
    Code:
    spool tabs2.out
    set termout off
    select table_name from user_tables;
    spool off
    set termout on
    As a script, your output will look like:
    Code:
    ABC
    WAITSTAT_BEFORE    
    XYZ123                                                                          
    XyZ                                                                             
    xyz
    and from sqlplus, your output will look like:
    Code:
    SQL> set termout off
    SQL> select table_name from user_tables;
    ABC                                                                             
    WAITSTAT_BEFORE    
    XYZ123                                                                          
    XyZ                                                                             
    xyz                                                                             
    SQL> spool off

    I am running it from a shell script so your example doesn't work it works otherwise when you login to sqlplus manually, Well finally it worked when I added -s option while invoking sqlplus , here's the script which worked

    sqlplus -s < set feed off;
    set head off;
    set echo off;
    spool /ex.dat;
    select * from user_tables;
    spool off;
    !

    Thanks

    That was the point. If you put your commands in a script file and then:
    sqlplus / @scriptname.sql
