Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: How to use pipe-delimited SQL*Plus output with a long datatype
I think the problem is that you can't do an operation (like concatenate) on
a long field.
But another way to get the same output is to set colsep '|' , and then use
plain old select list

One of our developers wants to create a reusable report where the pipe-delimited output generated by SQL*Plus would be sent off and used as input into another process. The problem is the remarks field which is of type long. It causes ORA-00997 errors. If I take the pipe-delimits off, the report works o.k. If I take the remarks field out, the report works o.k. There seems to be an incompatibility between the two. The developer wants to have the remarks column included in the report and she also wants the fields to be delimited somehow.
I saw an informative document on Metalink about the ORA-997 error but there is no work-around suggested. Does anyone have any bright ideas? It is not possible to convert the long within the database, at this time. This database will be obsolete in a few months so it's not worth the hassle to recode all of the apps that use this field.
