Hi,

I want to ask if we could create a subfolder using the SPOOL command. Please note that I tried the following but it gave "Cannot create Spool file" error.

Code: SPOOL C:\TEST\ABC\ABC.sql
where TEST is already present in the C drive whereas I want SPOOL command to create a sub-directory named 'ABC' and then create the spool file 'ABC.sql' isnside it.

Is this possible ?
My OS version is MS XP.

Not using SPOOL.

You need to issue HOST command from inside sqlplus & then issue normal OS command (mkdir) to create desired folder/directory.

I am also trying my hand if I could append the SYSDATE with the spool file name. Eg. ABC_20100305.sql ?

any idea on this ?
