Could anyone tell me how to display the "NULL" instead of notting in the screen.
eg.
a table test contains
rownum a
------ ---
1 1
2
3 3

Can I have the result like:
rownum a
------ ---
1 1
2 NULL
3 3

Thanks your advice!

SET NULL NULL.
This is a session time. Once you exit of SQL PLus prompt then again you have insert this statement on the SQL*PLUS prompt.

Another method use DECODE FUNCTION IN SQL*PLUS

SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, DECODE(SAL,NULL,'Null') "Sal", DECODE(COMM, NULL, 'Nul
Comm", deptno
FROM emp;
