    Error when Compiling a Stored Procedure

    Hello, I have written a stored procedure which compiles with the error message:

    PL/SQL: ORA-00922: missing or invalid option

    If I execute the script in Toad, it works. Below is the script

    SET ECHO OFF
    SET FEEDBACK OFF
    SET SPACE 0
    SET LINESIZE 2000
    SET PAGESIZE 0
    SET VERIFY OFF
    SET HEADING ON
    SET COLSEP |

    spool 'C:\Output_to_flat_file.txt'

    select * from T_TMP;
    SPOOL OFF

    any ideas?

    they are all sqlplus commands - not commands you can put in a stored procedure

    Adding to Dave's post; please use PL/SQL commands when working on any kind of backend coding.
