Hello,
[Quoted] I would like to know if I can get SQL Plus to display the leading blank spaces
in the examples bellow.
[Quoted] I want to extract formated DDL scripts but SQL Plus keeps throwing them away [Quoted] Or is it just a default behavior and I can´t do anything about it.

[Quoted] [Quoted] I am using SQL PLUS version 3.3.4.0.0

Any hints?

Thanks
Pavel
