RE: spool command: echo not work

You can't test the spool that way. Make a file of commands containing the following

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

Now go into sqlplus and connect then execute the script by issuing the following command. This assumes that the above commands were placed into the file test.sql

@test.sql;

Your problem is that when the spool command is issued, everything including what you type in will be placed into the 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.
