Can you explain your question, I have to admit I understant nothing of what you know and what you want to know.

Maybe you will find the answer in documentation? SQL*Plus® User's Guide and Reference

Thanks.

My question here is, when to set serveroutput in sqlplus tool?

When running SQL query or running procedure ??

Now i think from the link you provided and the answer from Cookie , i understood that
this can be used at the time of running the procedure .

Perhaps you'll get the (basic) idea by seeing this tiny example: first, create a (PL/SQL) procedure which is supposed to say "Hello":

SQL> create procedure prc_print is
  2  begin
  3    dbms_output.put_line('Hello!');
  4  end;
  5  /

Procedure created.

Execute it (note that no other settings have been done):

SQL> exec prc_print;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

It has completed, but - nothing had happened (no "Hello" message).

Now set serveroutput on and execute the procedure once again:

SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> exec prc_print;
Hello!

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

See? "Hello" is now here.

I set it "set serveroutput on size 1000000" in Unix Server
where the database is located
/b_dados/oracle8i/product/8.1.7/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql

But when I display "show serveroutput" shows "OFF" ???

SQL> show serveroutput
serveroutput OFF
