RE: spool command: echo not work

Greg -

When I'm doing this sort of thing I run the following:

set echo off termout off heading off verify off feedback off newpage none

set echo - controls whether or not the command is displayed when the command is run by START or @
set termout - controls whether or not the output is displayed when the command is run by START or @
set heading - turns off headers
set verify - controls whether or not the bind variable replacements are displayed (that is the line before the replacement is made and the line after)
set feedback off - turns off the number of rows returned newpage - sets number of lines printed at the top, before the title

But the most important part is running 'sqlplus -s'. This causes sqlplus to run in silent mode and suppresses all the sqlplus info, commands, banner, etc.

set echo and set termout won't work for you unless you are running a command file.

Thanks all for replay.
I knew echo should work, but for some reason it does not.

SQL> set echo off
SQL> set hea off
SQL> spool test.sql
SQL> select sysdate from dual;

25-APR-01

SQL> spool off
SQL> !more test.sql
SQL> select sysdate from dual;

25-APR-01 SQL> spool off

Any ideas?
Thanks.
Greg.
