You can give your own extension and that will override the .lst extension. I am not sure if you can switch off the default extension.

Are you spooling the file like this below..?

>>spool c:\SOMETHING_SOMETHING&&filedate.csv

then

Try

c:\SOMETHING_SOMETHING&&filedate..csv

You need to use two dots.
