 Hello everyone:

I am running SQL*Plus for Windows and noticed that when I change my Oracle 7.3 database (running on Sun Solaris) to use an initialization parm of NLS_DATE_FORMAT="YY/MM/DD", the SQL*Plus on Solaris reflects the change but SQL*Plus on Windows doesn seems to notice. Does anyone know how to get around this, or is SQL*Plus for Windows too dumb? I noticed that after all these years, there is still no HELP file available for the Windows version of SQL*Plus and although I loaded the help tables into the database, the Windows SQL*Plus will not allow me to get to those help files even though the Solaris version does.

Thanks for any insight.

Best regards,
