Bill,

Try pushing the output directly to a file using calls to the Utl_File supplied package. That would allow you unlimited spooling capacity.

If you really want to use DBMS_Output, you might try (but I don't know if it would work) to call DBMS_Output.Disable then DBMS_Output.Enable(1000000) every once in a while in a loop in your procedure. That would close the buffer, then open it with a new million character capacity (I think).

Hi,

    This is my first attempt at writing a PL/SQL procedure. Everything works
fine, except I have a firly large table I am running against. I am trying to
display my output with DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. I have set the buffer size to
1000000, apparently the maximum value, but it still isn't enough to print
output for my entire table. Is there another way to display data? Or is
there some way to increase the maximum?
