In the above procedure call the variable p_footer & p_header are having very long values of around 2604 characters. They are getting inserted into a table in oracle where the datatype for the header & footer columns is CLOB.

If I run above through Windows SQL plus it works fine and getting inserted properly.

But If I run the same through shell script then there are foll. two scenarios.

1. The above proc works fine if I have data in the variables i.e.
p_header := 'header kdkfd .... upto 2600 chars of data...'
and its inserting properly.

2. But if there are say 2500 white spaces & then in the last I have some data then its trimming to 662/558 characters.
p_header := 'header kdkfd .... upto 2600 WHITE SPACES some_data'

Attaching data file herewith. I am trying to get first and last line of the file as header & footer.

Please help me on this.

Purvesh
