I am trying to run one of the query which is quite lenghty. I am able to run it through toad successfully. But, when I copy and put this script into sqlplus prompt then it truncate the lenght(columns) of charcters.

Is there any options available to set it properly.

I tried to set ARRAY ISZE, LINESIZE but unfortunately I could get it.

Can you please suugest me the the approprate environment variable and value?

Thanks in advance

Use:

col <column_name> format a50

the 50 above would be whatever length you actually need.

I do not want to disply indvidul column format. The main problem is that when I copy and paste from editor it truncate characters at the time of executing the original script.

That's the problem. when I copy to SQLPLUS section then it trims the characters of each line from the right hand size. Hope the issue would be cleared now.

I've never experienced SQL*Plus right truncating each line from a copy/paste. Are you using a certain terminal emulator or anything special?

To my knowledge there is not BUFFERSIZE command for SQL*Plus. I wonder if you issue 'ed' while in SQL*Plus and then paste the lines in the resulting window if the lines will still be truncated ?
