Hi, in case you want to check out your procedures/functions, you can always use a direct "SELECT * FROM user_source". That shows the source code for the actual schema you're in. But I would recommend to use tools for that (at least OEM Schema Manager) since the SQL*PLUS output is always shi... formatted, unless you spend some time to make it look nicer.
