Hi,

Just a quick question, hope someone can illuminate me... I'm trying to debug a function using dbms_output but I can't gt anything I ask it to print displayed (not immediately anyway)... sample session:

SQL> set serveroutput on;
SQL> show serveroutput;
serveroutput ON size 2000 format WORD_WRAPPED SQL> create or replace function test return number is begin DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Hello, world!'); return 0; end;   2 /

Function created.

SQL> select test() from dual;

    TEST()

---

         0

SQL> Am i missing something really obvious or is this some sort of bug? I also realized that if then i do:

SQL> create or replace procedure test2 is begin DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Hello again!'); end;   2 /

Procedure created.

SQL> select test() from dual;

    TEST()

---

         0

SQL> call test2();
Hello, world!
Hello, world!
Hello again!

Call completed.

SQL> odd... anyone?

Thanks,

David.
