SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.

### Full Error

SQL>  spool /u01/pass/$ORACLE_SID_Pass.log
SP2-0332: Cannot create spool file.

##########################
#  Error Occurred
##########################

Error occured while trying to spool a file with $ORACLE_SID in 11.2.0.4.0 version in HP-UX Platform

##########################
## Command Executed
##########################

spool /u01/pass/$ORACLE_SID_Pass.log

**************************************** Step By Step Analysis ******************************************************

#########################################
# 1) Reason for Failure
#########################################

The output we are looking from spool command is "dbname_Pass.log". Here we are using $ symbol which seems to be a OS Limitation.

So to eliminate this error, we need to use ${VARIABLE_NAME}

=====================================================================================================================

##########################
## Solution
##########################

spool /u01/pass/${ORACLE_SID}_Pass.log

ls -ltr /u01/pass

SQL> !ls -ltr /u01/pass
total 204
-rw-r-----   1 oracle     nogroup      12113 Jun 17 10:33 DBL_Pass.log
-rw-r-----   1 oracle     nogroup       3922 Jun 20 16:48 DBW_Pass.log
