Re: set defaults for $1?

Hi Steve.

Thanks again for your help, but I can't take any hyphens out of the name - the name doesn't contain any. The hyphen means that the result of the operation is an empty set. But I don't know why it is an empty set. Any ideas?

At the moment the script is as follows:

  column ivalue new_value ivalue noprint;   column nvalue new_value nvalue noprint;

  select decode(&1,null,20) ivalue from dual;   select decode(&2,null,20) nvalue from dual;

  create index ix_arp on pos_das (arp)
  tablespace tsji
  pctfree 4
  storage (initial &ivalue next &nvalue)   unrecoverable;

Thanks for your hints.

Greetings,
Jan
