RE: Simple PL/SQL output question

Actually, I've spotted a little gotcha - if the DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT line(s) are not followed by a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE or a DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE then the last lot of output from DBMS_OUTPUT..PUT doesn't appear, ever!

 BEGIN

       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('==========================================');
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('------------------------------------------');
       DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT('==========================================');
       dbms_output.put_line('Norm was here');

If you comment out the last line above, then nothing ever appears, no matter how often you run it.

I don't suppose your full pl/sql code is missing a DBMS_OUTPUT.NEW_LINE or a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE at the end is it?

Just a thought.

Cheers,
Norm.
