Thanks for the reply Denni.
Thats a work around, altough it does not allow you to skip a line. I'd be very surprised if Oracle does not have a function that alows you to skipt lines in between dbms_output.put_line statements.
Just like CHR(10) or n
If you find something, please update me.
Thanks once again.

found this somewhere on the net....
you need to force "newline" using a tab or chr()
======================================================
Write both to file and to dbms_output.
procedure write(f utl_file.file_type, line varchar2) is
begin
-- dbms_output.put_line outputs an extra newline if the line contains
-- any tab chars. Why?
-- Strip out the tabs. This makes manual indentation necessary,
-- but that's easier than removing extra lines, right?
dbms_output.put_line(replace(substr(line, 1, 250), chr(9)));
if utl_file.is_open(f) then
utl_file.put_line(f, line);
end if;
end;

Thanks a lot Denni. Can you help me out on how I must execute the procedure you created. What parameters I must pass to procedure "write".
Thanks.
