How do I create an ASCII file from a PL/SQL procedure on Unix. The line size is 2000 charectars.
The DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_line has a limitation of 255 charectars.

Any answers are really appreciated. You can call me at: (313)-506-7029.

Thanks.

Here is the method :

PROCEDURE DEBUG_PRINT(str VARCHAR2) IS
characterwrote NUMBER;
position NUMBER;
character VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(20000);
characterwrote := 0;
position := 1;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('DEBUG_PRINT');
WHILE (position<=LENGTH(str)) LOOP
IF (characterwrote = 255) THEN
characterwrote := 0;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(' ');
END IF;
character := SUBSTR(str,position,1);
IF (character = '''') THEN
NULL;
ELSE
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT(character);
END IF;
position := position +1;
characterwrote := characterwrote + 1;
END LOOP;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('DEBUG_PRINT');
EXCEPTION
/* If an exception is raised, reraise it */
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE;
END DEBUG_PRINT;
