abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvI think I am looking for a sqlplus "SET XXXX..." command, but my search has been futile so far.

Thanks for your reply .. Frank.
Sorry... I Previewed the post but did not notice my code being truncated in my sqlplus sesssion.
The actual script has the output to 130 charecters. but when i close the edit (afeidt.buf) and execute it, the display only shows 100 charecters...
My SQLPLUS version is 9.2.0.1.
I am using the "WE8ISO8859P1" charecter set.
declare
    l_var varchar2(500) := 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
begin
    dbms_output.put_line(length(l_var));
    dbms_output.put_line(l_var);
end;
130
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcdefghijklmnopqrstuv
  1  declare
  2      l_var varchar2(500) ;
  3  begin
  4      for i in 1 .. 5 loop
  5          l_var := l_var || 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';
  6      end loop;
  7      dbms_output.put_line(length(l_var));
  8      dbms_output.put_line(l_var);
  9* end;
