Full Discussion: Oracle table extract: all columns are not converting into pipe delimited in flat file

Thank you very much SriniShoo and Don for your kind help! The trick was set line size to max value 32767.

However, I am still facing two issues...

1. The SQL result still showing up in the console, which is not the best practice I would say. Below are the SQL commands in the TABLE_NAME.sql that I am passing as a parameter in the shell script. Any idea why it is doing what? What is missing in my code?

Code:
TABLE_NAME.sql
SET ECHO OFF
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET HEADING OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET COLSEP "|"
SET LINESIZE 32767
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
SPOOL $OUTPUT
SELECT * FROM TABLE_NAME;
SPOOL OFF
EXIT;
EOF

2. Is there a way to pass the SPOOL $OUTPUT (file name) from the shell script to the TABLE_NAME.sql file? When I am running the script as flat_file.ksh TABLE_NAME.sql it did not recognize it because TABLE_NAME.sql is not able to get anything from the flat_file.ksh script.

Code:
flat_file.ksh
#!/bin/ksh
 
db_connection="$DBUSER/$DBPWD@$ORA_SID"

SQL_FILE=$1
TABLE_NAME=`echo $SQL_FILE | awk -F"." '{print $1}'`

OUTPUT="${TABLE_NAME}.dat"
 
sqlplus -s $db_connection << EOF @TABLE_NAME.sql

I found a workaround for the console display issue..

Code:
 sqlplus -s $db_connection << EOF @TABLE_NAME.sql > /dev/null

	   after a single -c

       -n|nest
