I get a similar issue on win2003. clear screen in sqlplus.exe just terminates sqlplus. sqlplusw doesn't seem to suffer the same issue.

[Quoted] oranls10.dll looks rather like a language dll to me. I wonder if you have the system locale set to english rather than american. I'd agree with the suggestion to log a tar.

Of course one could argue that it is clearing the screen! Received on Mon Sep 19 2005 - 12:02:26 CEST
