RE: sql script

Suhen,

Have you tried running SQL*Plus in silent mode:

sqlplus -s username/password << EOF
set echo off
set feedback off
set heading off
spool file
select ....
/

spool off
EOF Then run the script from the command line.

Regards,

Simon.

List,

I am having a problem with a sql script than I am running. What I am trying to achieve is to get the result from this script which would be either T or F without the select statement. I get the result including the select that is being executed. eg

select D2 from job
where Name=upper('dailyman_flag')
/

T

Here is script that I execute

spool flag.sql
set verify off
set echo off
set heading off
set serveroutput off
set feedback off
select 'select D'||cal_day_of_wk|| ' from job_temp where Name=upper(''&1'');' from caldayee
/

spool off
@flag.sql

Is there a way to get just the result of T or F without showing the select statement?
If I execute flag.sql alone it seems to give the answer. but I need to run it in a script
as above

TIA
Suhen
