If I change the spool to x.prt .... and run:
sqlplus frscvt/susana65@fintest @x.sql brenda bill

i get an output file on "/afs/uis.njit.edu/erp/user/finsvc/banner/dev/sql/x.prt"
which contains:
var1 = brenda
var2 = bill
What I would like is t oget the same file to be created at "/afs/uis.njit.edu/erp/user/finsvc/banner/dev/sql/x.prt"
instead.
