Re: Unix - ' @ ' symbol does not work in SQL Plus

Many years ago I had this problem with a particular release of AIX. It was a long time ago and the details are fuzzy in my mind (if they ever were clear) but it had to do with AIX interpreting the @ as 'attention'. I believe that as a work-around I was able to run scripts in SQLPlus by using @@ in front of the script name.

The DELETE and BACKSPACE keys were also messed up. There was one other key also. I just remember that there were 4 that needed to be reset.

Cannot for the life of me remember what the command was though I do remember that it was very simple and straightforward.

Somebody has remapped the value that is expressed when the ' @ ' key is pressed. A session trace file, from a Secure CRT emulation, shows that a hex 0d 0a, is being expressed instead. As a result, we can't run SQL scripts from Sql Plus or svrmgrl.

This "feature" happens on an Oracle Unix account that a consultant was working with last week. The production Unix accounts are all working OK.

I think I need to look at .login, .profile and several envnrionment scripts that are executed at login, but I don't know what I'm looking for. I just need to get this key mapped back to "normal".

Any help and / or ideas?

Don
