Hi:
I have a little problem, using SQLPLUS I use "set linesize 300", so in the END of outputfile file
I got spaces after info ! I mean

select client_id || ';' || date || ';' || amount info
from table

1;FEB-2012;5000........
2;DIC-2011;10000.......
500;MAR-2012;300000.... (. = spaces)

How I remove spaces after Data ?
Thanks a Lot !

SET TRIMOUT ON
SET TRIMSPOON ON

Always set them to ON in your login.sql or glogin.sql and set them to OFF in your script when you want fixed length output.

It is better to set it the opposite as you have more often the usage to trim your output than to not trim it.
Unfortunately, Oracle set them to OFF by default.
