Answer 1

The problem you are running into is that SQL Plus only recognizes the first command you have written in the batch file.
sqlplus user/pass@host
SPOOL c:\master.log
@c:\a.sql
@c:\b.sql
SPOOL OFF
SQLPlus will recognize the spool and first sql command, but the batch file gets command back after the first sql command executes and doesn't recognize @c:\b.sql or know what to do with it. To run multiple SQL commands you have to create an external SQL file with all the sql commands in it with the Spool files you want created, then in the batch file you only call the one SQL script.
Create a master file like so:
-- Script Name : AllFiles.sql
SPOOL c:\master.log
@c:\a.sql
@c:\b.sql
SPOOL OFF
In x.bat
CALL SQLPlus user/password@database @AllFiles.sql
This should get you your required results.
