SQL plus help for Newbie

I can't seem to get the column command or Break command to work on my work machine
When I run a similar command at school with the same syntax all's OK.

Is there something in the installation that could have caused my problem? Am I correct in assuming that column and break commands are executed on the client and only a parsed statement is passed to the server

Here's examples of 2 similar scripts. One works the other doesn't.

This script runs fine

 1 SELECT DISTINCT items.t$item "Raw Item", items.t$dsca, bom.t$mitm, sub.t$dsca
  2 FROM baan.ttiitm001100 items, baan.ttibom010100 bom,

  3     (SELECT ttibom010100.t$mitm, ttiitm001100.t$dsca
  4     FROM baan.ttibom010100, baan.ttiitm001100
  5     WHERE ttibom010100.t$mitm = ttiitm001100.t$item) sub
  6  WHERE bom.t$sitm = items.t$item
  7     AND bom.t$mitm = sub.t$mitm

  4     (SELECT ttibom010100.t$mitm, ttiitm001100.t$dsca
  5     FROM baan.ttibom010100, baan.ttiitm001100
  6     WHERE ttibom010100.t$mitm = ttiitm001100.t$item) sub
  7  WHERE bom.t$sitm = items.t$item
  8     AND bom.t$mitm = sub.t$mitm

FYI Version info is
Disconnected from Oracle7 Server Release 7.3.4.0.1 - Production PL/SQL Release 2.3.4.0.0 - Production

Thanx in advance
