Welcome to the forum!

Please use code tags to separate the code part from description of issue.

If I correctly understand, you want to SPOOL the SQL*Plus result into a file. All you need to do is use SPOOL <filename> inside the sqlplus session.

Also, depending on what the SQL script expects in the variable, your might have to use backticks instead of single quotes when asigning the variable. See this example:

/tmp $ echo "Test" >tmp.file
/tmp $ d='cat tmp.file'
/tmp $ echo $d
cat tmp.file
/tmp $ d=`cat tmp.file`
/tmp $ echo $d
Test

Well "not work" is pretty much useless as an error description. You have to show us what really happens, like this for example:

/tmp $ cat test.sql
define acct = &1;
select &acct from dual;
exit;

/tmp $ sqlplus user/pass @test.sql 999

Sorry, but "not worked" doesn't help to understand the issue. Could you please elaborate and I would like to see a test case. Show us what are you doing using copy paste.

"Not worked" does not help in any way to know how it does not work.
Copy and paste what you have, do and get as Thomas did.
