No.
Individual clients may be set up to display certain values with underlines, but there is no way of having the data itself carry some sort of universal 'underline me' marker

The actual query is like this;
SELECT a,b,c from TEST;
A B C
10 aaa 01cs01
20 aaa 01cs02
30 aaa 01cs03
40 bbb 01cs04
50 ccc 01cs05
60 ccc 01cs06
but what i am asking is,
is it possible to display the result in a underline format,
like the one below
SELECT a,b,c from TEST;
A B C
10 aaa 01cs01
20 aaa 01cs02
30 aaa 01cs03
40 bbb 01cs04
50 ccc 01cs05
60 ccc 01cs06
i don't want to store the values permanently in my table
just i want to display the output in a underline format
i am using SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0

Here is an example that will work on most Unix/ Linux terminals:
$ sqlplus scott/tiger @myscript.sql `tput sgr 0 1` `tput sgr 0 0`
&&1 will have the termcode to start underlining (tput sgr 0 1)
&&2 will have the termcode to stop underlining (tput sgr 0 0)
Next, embed the formatting codes into your query:
select empno, '&&1'||ename||'&&2' as name from emp

Hai Frank,
First i thanking you for your kindly response,
I tried the codes given by you but it's seems not working, i tried the steps below(correct me if i wrong)
i created myscript.sql
spool myscript.txt
select a, '&&1'||c||'&&2' as name from trail1;
spool off
after saving i run the program as
sql>@myscript.sql `tput sgr 0 1` `tput sgr 0 0`
SQL> @myscr.sql `tput sgr 0 1` `tput sgr 0 0`
old 1: select a, '&&1'||c||'&&2' as name from trail1
new 1: select a, '`tput'||c||'sgr' as name from trail1
A NAME
---------- ------------------
10 `tput01cs01sgr
20 `tput01cs02sgr
30 `tput01cs03sgr
40 `tput01cs04sgr
50 `tput01cs05sgr
60 `tput01cs06sgr
i got the O/P as above and not the exact one i want
`tput sgr 0 1` `tput sgr 0 0` this are unix commands isn't it
can u guide me how to embed this to sql command
Once again thank you!

It's working Thank You Frank

Thanks again to Frank for his constructive posts - and from avoiding a recent trend on Orafaq of some "senior members" to constantly make the poster or other contributers feel like fools.
