I'll bet the real answer to this question will be
quite fascinating. What I can contribute is that
if you run your script more than once in the same
sql*plus session, the SET ESCAPE command will fail
becuase the escape character it defines is already
the escape character. I've gotten around this
with a pair of commands:
SET ESCAPE '?'
SET ESCAPE '~'
