Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: rdbms.output error
Hi Shane,
if you meant the DBMS_OUTPUT package, you can invoke its procedure
PUT_LINE
from SQL*PLUS (if you have installed PL/SQL) by entering
exec is a SQL*PLUS "macro", above, it builds the following anonymous PL/SQL block (which you could enter also in SQL*PLUS):
You can't execute a procedure directly from SQL*PLUS, you'll have to use PL/SQL. Hope this helps
