Hi
Oracle 9i on hp unix.
I will make a job take controlfile trace periodically.
How can I change the date part dynamically?
like below:
alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/some/arbitrary/control230509';
alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/some/arbitrary/control240509';
alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/some/arbitrary/control250509';
..
..

SQL> col mydate new_value mydate

MYDATE

230509
1 row selected.
SQL> alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/some/arbitrary/control&mydate';
alter database backup controlfile to trace as '/some/arbitrary/control230509'

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01278: error creating file ...
Of course it cannot create the file but you can see the name is correct.
Regards
Michel
