Spool output into script

Question

Hello,
I'm using dbms_metadata.getddl to generate a script to recreate a bunch of indexes for a schema. The SELECT command below works fine but I'm getting the SQL COMMAND and SPOOL OFF output in my spooled file.
Is there a way to turn something off so I DO NOT get the spool garbage at the beginning and end of my spool file? I swear I've done this before but I'm pulling my hair out trying to remember how.
Here's the command I'm running:
set pagesize 0
set long 90000
set feedback 0
set echo off
set heading off
set termout off
set verify off
set serveroutput 0ff
spool cr_indx.sql
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('INDEX',u.index_name) || ';'
FROM USER_INDEXES u where table_owner='SFUSER' and index_name not like 'SYS%';
spool off;
I'm getting this at the top of my spool file (my SQL command):
SQL> SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('INDEX',u.index_name) || ';' FROM USER_INDEXES u where table_owner='SFUSER' and index_name not like 'SYS%';
and this at the bottom of my spool file:
SQL> spool off

Hi,
Put all these into a file name it some thing like test.sql
set pagesize 0
set long 90000
set feedback 0
set echo off
set heading off
set termout off
set verify off
set serveroutput 0ff
spool cr_indx.sql
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('INDEX',u.index_name) || ';'
FROM USER_INDEXES u where table_owner='SFUSER' and index_name not like 'SYS%';
spool off;
and execute it
sql>@test.sql
then you will not get spool off and sql command.
Thanks,
G.
