[Quoted] [Quoted] [Quoted] [Quoted] Alright.... So what magic code do I need to extend, flush, or create a new buffer. My PL/SQL program works fine except that it is evidently buffering the ouput before displaying on the screen or to a file. I am using [Quoted] SYS.DBMS_OUTPUT for the first time and am quite surprised to find this out. [Quoted] The buffer is evidently defined not to exceed 2000 bytes and is full. [Quoted] [Quoted] I will need at least 4 times this much space to complete the prog. I find it hard to believe that you can only output 2000 bytes in [Quoted] a PL/SQL procedure. The error is below...
