DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE should be called by the client, not the server, as should DBMS_OUTPUT.GETLINE(S).
SQL*Plus effectively calles ENABLE when you issue the command SET SERVEROUTPUT ON, and then effectively calls GET... after each comment.
You could use ENABLE and GET... in a Forms application. Received on Fri Feb 02 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
