Use the translate function:
select translate('abc def ghi jkl',' ','_') test from dual;
TEST
---------------
abc_def_ghi_jkl
I think this is what you want.

Subject: sqlplus formatting question
I want to display a varchar2 field that contains spaces between words i.e
MY NAME, but replace the spaces with underscores on the report i.e MY_NAME
How can I do this in sqlplus?
