Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

How to spool dynamically

Jul 25, 2017 4:22AM edited Jul 25, 2017 9:16AM in SQL Language (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓

I want to spool on an sql script. I want the filename to be created on a different folder each time after I'm asked.

i.e.:

spool &get_folder||filename.txt

When I give the correct folder I receive the below error.

SP2-0556: Invalid file name.

I believe spool command doesn't like the ||.

Is there a way to do the above?
