You are right Marc!! It was the login.sql file. If I remove the file, it works fine. Does this mean that the default value of ECHO is OFF? Suppose ECHO is set to ON deliberately, then while running the temp.sql script the 'SET ECHO OFF' statement will always be echoed, isn't it? Thanks regards,

I don't get that when running on W2K. Are you executing a login.sql or glogin.sql script first? How are you invoking your temp.sql? Using the @ on the command line or redirecting input or typing it in directly? What version of sqlplus? I tried it with 8.1.6. Marc Perkowitz - Original
