SQLplus | spool without file extension

Our enterprise system will only import files without a extension... Is there a way to SPOOL from sqlplus without a extension? I know how to change the extension and I know if none is specified it addes .LST but how can I just spool a filename like "myfile"? Thanks!

Why not set a job which polls the folder you spool to and just make the job rename the file?

This meets the extensionless requirement as well as enabling you to avoid doing it by hand over and over.

I split the points because slightwv answered my question about the extension and robyncoffey offered a efficient work around. Thank you both and I hope you feel the split was resonable.
