Subject: RE: SQLPLUS spool file
question
Mark:
Here is what I usually set in a SQL*Plus script where I
will
want to spool the output:
set echo off pause off termout on feedback
on
set pagesize 55 linesize 95 tab off trimspool
on
I rarely use 'sqlplus -s', and I do not get the
'^L'
character in my spool files. I also have a shell script
that I use to trim off excess spaces and ^L
characters
from other folk's scripts. Here it is:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
# This is for HP-UX ksh.
mv ${1} trim.temp
if [ $? != 0 ] ; then
echo
''
echo Error opening ${1} for move
echo
Aborting...
echo ''
exit
fi
#
/ /' | sed '1,$s/
*$//g' > ${1}
rm trim.temp
# #EOF#
HTH,
Mike
I'm creating a spool file of SQL commands based on
several "select...from" statements. When I "vi" my output file, I see
a "^L" character as the first character after each of my select
statements. I remember a solution being presented a few years ago that
allowed you to eliminate the "^L" on this list but I've managed to loose
it. I seem to remember that you must use silent mode (-s) and the
proper setting of several of the SQLPlus environment variables. Any
help would be appreciated
