Answer 1

I found a better solution without the need to declare/begin/end code blocks or query statements.

A sample spool filename with the date and time can be achieved by:

sql> column dt new_value _dt 
sql> select to_char(sysdate,'ddMONyyyy_hh24mi') dt from dual; 
sql> spool &_dt

My file name:

27JUN2011_1727.lst

You can even specify the file extension if you need to (eg .txt). Just create another variable.
