RE: Wierdness during script in SQLPlus

You are correct that it does not affect my script, it's just annoying. A ctrl-C does break me out of the DOC> prompt and puts me back into the SQL> prompt. Learned something new. :o)

Thanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

I believe in older versions of sql*plus there was a DOCUMENTATION (DOC>) function that would spit comments back to the user with the DOC> prompt. I know I've seen this before, a long time ago. It never affected anything I was running tho.
