RE: PL/SQL length overflow prob

This is a restriction to using dbms_output that maximum length is >255.

>From MetaLink

This is a restriction of the package DBMS_OUTPUT(). The restriction  and resulting error messages are documented in the file dbmsotpt.sql.  This file can be found in the directory $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin  on UNIX platforms.
