dbms_output.put_line question

From: Alan Long <TICS28_at_>
Date: 1997/08/18
Message-ID: <TICS28-1808971225570001@tics28.sps.mot.com>#1/1

The line:

            dbms_output.put_line(' text string');

produces output which omits the leading blanks. The only solution I have found is to include a leading period:

            dbms_output.put_line('. text string');

This seems a bit dumb, uses up one column of output, and looks untidy. Is there a better way?

I'm using Oracle 7.1.4 and PL/SQL 2.1.4
