Get File name in script?

Question

Hi,
I'm currently running a script using the sqlplus @ command. I'm wondering if there's a way, in my .sql file to know the filename that this file is.... for instance, if i do: sqlplus test/test@mydb @test.sql
Is there a way, inside test.sql, to know that the file name is test.sql? I know it sounds stupid but it's because I'm logging the script name that was run against a database and I want to ideally be able to rename a script without needing to modify the log insertion command.
Thanks,
Goodie

I do not know of anyway to know the name of the command file.
You could add a parameter like this
sqlplus test/test@mydb @test.sql test.sql
Now the 2nd test.sql becomes &1 in your script and you could have code in your script that says:
insert into log (process_name, timestamp, ...) values (&1, sysdate,...);
To bad you can not access the command file as arguement 0 (&0).
If you are new to parameters try this.
Create test.sql as
select '&1' as parm1 from dual;
sqlplus test/test@mydb @test.sql test.sql
