I went through this same problem. Never got a satisfactory answer, totally. It behaves differently depending on if you do it from a terminal, or disconnected, like from cron. Also it depends on the setting of sqldisplaymode. Try the command `set sqldisplaymode wide` and see if that makes it look like you want.

Hello Everyone, I have been trying to figure out how to have the syntax of the below output so that it will all go on 1 line, but so far I have been very unsuccessful. Here is the statement I am issuing: select node_name,filespace_name,backup_start,backup_end from filespaces where node_name like 'NAS%' or node_name like 'SERVER%' And here is the output: NODE_NAME FILESPACE_NAME BACKUP_START BACKUP_END ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------ NAS_SERVER_2_OFFS- / 2006-10-04 2006-10-04 ITE 21:20:32.000000 21:23:03.000000 NAS_SERVER_2_OFFS- /.etc_common 2006-10-04 2006-10-05 ITE 21:20:32.000000 02:34:44.000000 NAS_SERVER_2_OFFS- /apache 2006-10-04 2006-10-05 ITE 21:20:32.000000 02:21:08.000000 NAS_SERVER_2_OFFS- /clearcase_prod 2006-10-04 2006-10-04 ITE 21:20:32.000000 22:36:12.000000 As you can see the node_name column wraps. I tried to do a left justify and I also tried to make it 20 characters wide, but I guess I am doing something wrong because I continue to get the same output. I was also wondering if there is a way to change the backup_start to go on 1 line as well and to make it include the date and the time to be just hh:mm:ss? Thank you in advance for any pointers you might have! ******************************** Joni Moyer Highmark Storage Systems, Senior Systems Programmer Phone Number: (717)302-9966 Fax: (717) 302-9826 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ********************************
