does return the data you need in sqlplus? But issuing the SPOOL command before the select statement, is not collecting that data into the specified file.
Did you try using the SPOOL command then issuing the select statement in SQLPLUS then turn the SPOOL OFF and look for the file? (i.e. do everything inside SQLPLUS not just the select statement).
It's puzzling, because your command looks correct, though, I would set your linesize and pagesize before turning on the SPOOL command otherwise you would see those commands in the output, assuming you get output to the file.
Does the underlying OS user have write privileges to where you are tyring to write the file? I'd assume you'd get an error if you didn't, but it's worth checking. Assuming the OS user is 'oracle' you should have write privileges to an /app/oracle ... directory structure, but maybe you've logged on under your own login and you don't. If you're using your own OS login, try spooling it to your own home directory.

write
WRITE(1) BSD General Commands Manual WRITE(1)NAME
write -- send a message to another user
SYNOPSIS
write user [tty]
DESCRIPTION
The write utility allows you to communicate with other users, by copying lines from your terminal to theirs.
When you run the write command, the user you are writing to gets a message of the form:
Message from yourname@yourhost on yourtty at hh:mm ...
Any further lines you enter will be copied to the specified user's terminal. If the other user wants to reply, they must run write as well.
When you are done, type an end-of-file or interrupt character. The other user will see the message 'EOF' indicating that the conversation is
over.
You can prevent people (other than the super-user) from writing to you with the mesg(1) command.
If the user you want to write to is logged in on more than one terminal, you can specify which terminal to write to by specifying the termi-
nal name as the second operand to the write command. Alternatively, you can let write select one of the terminals - it will pick the one
with the shortest idle time. This is so that if the user is logged in at work and also dialed up from home, the message will go to the right
place.
The traditional protocol for writing to someone is that the string '-o', either at the end of a line or on a line by itself, means that it is
the other person's turn to talk. The string 'oo' means that the person believes the conversation to be over.
SEE ALSO mesg(1), talk(1), wall(1), who(1)HISTORY
A write command appeared in Version 1 AT&T UNIX.
BUGS
The sender's LC_CTYPE setting is used to determine which characters are safe to write to a terminal, not the receiver's (which write has no
way of knowing).
