Spooling output in SQL PLUS

I am not a big fan of SQLPLUS, typically use GUI tools to access Database. If you happen to use SQLPLUS for spooling output/cretaing file out of SQL Query to a file, here is the code snippet

set echo off;

set linesize 600

set newpage 0

set trimspool off

set heading off;

set tab off;

set serveroutput off;

set termout off;

spool output_file.dat;

< SQL GOES HERE>;

spool off;

quit;
