Hi Dennis,

Actually I meant show us the entire run like:

SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 9 09:40:47 2011

Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle.  All rights reserved.

SQL> set serveroutput on 

SQL> select * from dual;

SP2-0640: Not connected

SQL> connect ops$mmoore

Enter password: ********

ERROR:

ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error

SQL> 

Frankly, I'm not familiar with the R command. Perhaps Niall is on the right track.

Regards.

Mike

Thanks Mike. Here is an abbreviated version of my script.

 

SET ECHO OFF
SET VERIFY OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE

-- local variables and cursors
BEGIN

-- PL/SQL code

      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('------------------------------------------');
      DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('QH Source Lot ID = '||LotRec.AppID);
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('QH State = '||LotRec.State);

END;
/

It would help to SEE what you did.

List,

 

I recently wrote a SQL script containing a PL/SQL anonymous block. I used DBMS_OUTPUT to sent results to the screen. This worked fine when I copied and pasted the script into a SQL*Plus session. However, when I just hit "r" to rerun the script, I noticed that it produced no output. Later I passed this to a user who ran it using Toad and got no output. Can anybody tell me what (isn't) going on?

 

The reason I used PL/SQL in this manner is that I needed more logic than SQL itself could provide. In our environment, creating database objects requires a lot of red tape, but we have a read-only account that can be used to run queries or ad-hoc scripts.

 

Thanks,

Dennis Williams
