SPOOL with the right record length

Question

I have implemented a SQL script to download a "package" and "package body" definition into a file, in a windows environment.
To avoid "truncate" lines (split in two lines) in the file , I use the "SET LINESIZE v_max_length", where v_max_length is the max length of a record in the package.
But if a record is " a:=1;", in the file I save "a:=1; ...............................", a record of "v_max_length" length.
How can I get the right length?
Example:
SET LINESIZE 200
SPOOL my_package.sql
select RTRIM(TEXT) from ALL_SOURCE where name ='MY_PACKAGE' and TYPE=''PACKAGE'' order by LINE asc;
SPOOL OFF;

Answer 1

Why don't you just set linesize to 1000 and
SET TRIMSPOOL ON
Then you get optimal output for each line
