Chuck,

It's doable, and I've seen scripts on the net that do it, but it's a
bit cumbersome. However, you could also do it in sqlplus,
using spool, where the name of the spool file is taken from a
new_value of a date query, i.e.,

col x new_value fn
select to_char (sysdate, 'DDMMYYYYHHMI') || '.txt' x from dual;

spool &fn

hth,

yosi
