output of a select statement

I have two DBs10.2.0.4 running on Solaris 10.

And the output on these two databases are totally different from sqlplus:

Select 'a' from dual;

Output a:

'

-
a

output b:

'A'

I compare the system parameters and the setting for sqlplus, no difference found.

I 'm wondering how dose the difference come out?
