Hi,
   I want print '      hai' in SQLPLUS.
   But that editor is truncating spaces before text and it
   is printing like 'hai'.
   Thanks in advance.

Not sure about your query ..

SQL> select 'Hello' from dual;

'HELL
-----
Hello

SQL> select '  Hello  ' from dual;

'HELLO'
---------
  Hello

SQL> select '  Hello  world ' from dual;

'HELLOWORLD'
---------------
  Hello  world


Thumbs Up
Rajuvan.

Hi
Thanks for reply.
Not through SQL statement.

SQL> EXEC DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('       HAI');
HAI

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Here I want to get output as 
SQL>         HAI.

Once some where I saw one statement like
set serveroutput on [set spaces or null]  like this

for the past 2 day I searched in this site. But no luck.

plz help me

Thanks
