Append to spool file Oracle

sql oracle append sqlplus spool

I have one script file called Test.sql in D:\Scripts folder and the content of the file is given below

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET DEFINE OFF
SPOOL Test.log;


SELECT USER_NAME FROM TUP_USER WHERE USER_ID=1432;


SPOOL OFF;
SET DEFINE ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFF

I normally execute this by opening command prompt, locate to D:\Scripts and give sqlplus username/password@Database and then give @test.sql to execute this and it will generate a log file called Test.log

Every time I execute this, it replaces the old file with the new data. I need to append new data to the file using spool. Is there a way to do that?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Finally got the solution for this!

Add append after Test.log

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET DEFINE OFF
SPOOL Test.log append;


SELECT USER_NAME FROM TUP_USER WHERE USER_ID=1432;


SPOOL OFF;
SET DEFINE ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT OFF
