  What does the message "Input truncated to 9 characters" mean?

  Also, when I use a column command like so

    column negear format 099 heading 'GEAR|CODE' justify left

  I only get three character of the title, eg.

         GEA
         COD
         ---
         050

  This seems to happen with varchar2 columns.

  Thanks in advance.
