Hi,
I am trying to set the linesize so that output does not wrap. When I set it to 200, output looks fine except that it is cut off to the right of the screen and I can't scroll across to see the rest of it. Can anyone help?
Btw, I am using Sql Plus 8.0.6.0.0

Horizontal scrolling depends on the terminal used. The Windows command-line version is pretty good. I'm not near Windows right now, but if you go through all the window settings there should be a couple for window size. I always change the colour and font etc as well.
Unfortunately the SQL*Plus DESCRIBE command automatically adjusts itself to fit the current LINESIZE, so you can have either horizontal scrolling or readable DESCRIBE output, but not both.
