Dbms_output.put_line prints a varchar2(32767) variable partially.

Please help if anyone knows.
I have an anonymous block that declares a variable as below:
v_return_code varchar2(32767);
I am appending characters that I am building in the begin end block to this variable and at the end printing it out using dbms_output
dbms_output.put_line(v_return_code);
I observe that the output is generated partially when I ran the block through PL/SQL developer SQL window.
My code appends a new line char chr(10) after each new value is appended to the variable.
I have the below settiing in the output window
buffer size: 2000000
Can someone please help why it prints the output partially?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Frank,
Thanks for your reply.
I figured out that some other developer in the team had same problem before and he had then written a library function to tokenise the variable into 255 chars and then dbms_output it. So I am good now.
Thanks for coming by and replying though.

Girish

Printing messages in Log File and Output File using Dbms_output.put_line

Hi,
I have a requirement of printing messages in log file and output file using dbms_output.put_line instead of fnd_file.put_line API.
Please let me know how can I achieve this.
I tried using a function to print messages and calling that function in my main package where ever there is fnd_file.put_line. But this approach is not required by the business.
So let me know how I can achieve this functionality.
Regards
Sandy

What is the requirement that doesn't allow you using fnd_file.put_line?

DBMS_Output.put_line doesn't print in one single line

Hi People,
I am using 'DBMS_Output.put_line' in my procedure for the output. Here's the code:
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('LOGIT_T. Detail records for act:'||v_count_act||',Detail records for Bal:'||v_count_bal||',Updated records for act:'||v_updat_act||',Updated records for bal:'||v_updat_bal||',Total records for act:'||v_count_act||',Total records for Bal:'||v_count_bal);
When the procedure runs, it prints the output as shown below:
LOGIT_T. Detail records for act:619,Detail records for Bal:324,Updated records
for act:0,Updated records for bal:0,Total records for act:693,Total records for
Bal:410
As a result, when inserting this whole line into table, it only inserts the following text. Hence, ignores the rest of the text (table field width is 2000 bytes):
LOGIT_T. Detail records for act:619,Detail records for Bal:324,Updated records
Looks like, it is automatically wrapping the text to the next line. While I want the above output in a single line as shown below and to be inserted into my table the whole text:
LOGIT_T. Detail records for act:619,Detail records for Bal:324,Updated records for act:0,Updated records for bal:0,Total records for act:693,Total records for Bal:410
Any idea how to achieve this? Any parameter or setting I am missing here?
Hope I made sense above and clearly described my situation.
Thanks in advance guys!

in sqlplus, you can use set linesize:
SQL> set serverout on
SQL> set linesize 10
SQL> exec dbms_output.put_line('This is a line of text that exceeds 10 characters');
This is a
line of
text that
exceeds 10
characters

Printing blank spaces using dbms_output.put_line

There is one string getting generated dynamically. Upon generation, it may or may not contain blank spaces in the beginning. Then I am trying to print this on standard I/O using DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE. But if there are some leading spaces in the string, they are ignored. Is there any other way to print the exact string as it is?

hi..
it's depend on your client configuration.. you can configure the wrap option at the serveroutput parameter...
set serveroutput on size 100000 for wrap;
begin
2 dbms_output.put_line(' Hello world.');

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE multi records from PL/SQL procedure to Java web page.

Hello
I will explain the scenario:
In our java web page, we are using three text boxes to enter "Part number,Description and Aircraft type". Every time the user no need to enter all these data. The person can enter any combination of data or only one text box. Actually the output data corresponding to this input entries is from five Oracle table. If we are using a single query to take data from all the five tables, the database will hang. So I written a procedure "SEARCH1",this will accept any combination of values (for empty values we need to pass NULL to this procedure) and output data from all the five tables. When I executing this procedure in SQL editor, the execution is very fast and giving exact result. I used "dbms_output.put_line" clause for outputing multiple records in my procedure. The output variables are "Serial No, part Number, Description, Aircraft type,Part No1,Part No2,Part No3,Part No4". I want to use the same procedure "SEARCH1" for outputing data in java web page.The passing argument I can take from the text box provided in java web page. I am using jdbc thin driver to connect our java web page to Oracle 9i database.
Note1 : If any combination of search item not available, in procedure itself I am outputing a message like "Part Number not found". Here I am using four words ("Part" is the first word,"Number" is the second,"Not" s the third, and "found" is the fourth) for outputing this message.Is it necessary to equalise number of words I am using here to the record outputing eight variable?
Our current development work is stopped because of this issue. So any one familier in this field,plese help me to solve our issue by giving the sample code for the same scenario.

I will expect yor early mail.

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE not working in Stored Functions

Hi All,
I have one doubt, why is dbms_output.put_line not supported in Stored Functions?
create or replace function func_in_sql(var number) return varchar2
is
begin
If var is not null then
return to_char(dbms_output.put_line(var));
else
return to_char(dbms_output.put_line('null'));
end if;
end;
Returns error -
LINE/COL ERROR
5/3 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
5/18 PLS-00222: no function with name 'PUT_LINE' exists in this scope
7/3 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
7/18 PLS-00222: no function with name 'PUT_LINE' exists in this scope
Any idea why this is happening?
I know that to print value one can just use return statement and value will be printed in SQL Prompt.
But what makes me think is why error for PUT_LINE method?
If error is not thrown at DBMS_OTUPUT then doesnt that mean all methods of DBMS_OUTPUT should be accessible in a function.
Thanks in advance!
Av.

Hi,
For cant call proc inside func, or in-line thing you mentioned, just tried following -
Here is our previous Func -
create or replace function func_in_sql(var number) return varchar2
is
begin
/*If var is not null then
return to_char(dbms_output.put_line(var));
else
return to_char(dbms_output.put_line('null'));
end if;
exception_test;
return 'a';
end;
and here is our proc -
procedure exception_test
as
v_count1 number;
v_count2 number;
begin
select count(test_id)
INTO V_COUNT1
from TEST_TABLE;
If SQL%NOTFOUND Then
dbms_output.put_line('notfound');
End If;
dbms_output.put_line(v_count1);
exception
when no_data_found then
If SQL%NOTFOUND Then
dbms_output.put_line('notfound');
End If;
dbms_output.put_line('no_data');
WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('too many rows');
when others then
dbms_output.put_line('others');
end;
and here is the call to func -
SQL> select func_in_sql(x) from t1;
FUNC_IN_SQL(X)
a
a
a
a
4 rows selected.
So this shows it works.
Is this what you said? or Am I getting you wrong?
Thanks!

Apostrophe in DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE

Following is a script i made for freeing up(SHRINK ing and resetting HWM) the space in Tables and its indexes. I don't know the escape character to use in the DBMS_OUTPUT shown in bold below
create or replace procedure freeup_space
is
type v_segment_type is table of varchar2(30) index by binary_integer;
v_segment v_segment_type;
begin
select segment_name bulk collect into v_segment
               from user_segments
               where segment_type in ('TABLE')
                 and segment_name not like 'BIN%';
for i in v_segment.first..v_segment.last loop
execute immediate 'alter table ' || v_segment(i) ||' enable row movement';
dbms_output.put_line('Table '||v_segment(i)||'s row movement enabled');
execute immediate 'alter table ' || v_segment(i) ||' shrink space cascade';
end loop;
end;
/Currently the result will look like
Table EMPs row movement enabled
But i want an apostrophe to be followed after the table name.
Table EMP's row movement enabled

Use two single ' to add it to a string. Like this:
dbms_output.put_line('Table '||v_segment(i)||'''s row movement enabled');
First 1 ' to start a new string, then 2 ' to print the character.

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE doesn't work in Reports

Version 1.1.2.25 Build Main 25.97
I've tried to create a Report using the PL/SQL-DBMS_OUTPUT option and it just sends out a sinle line of text without any line throws. Copy the block of code and run it as a script and it works fine.
Anybody else come across this problem?

Here's the PL/SQL code for the Report....
declare
vowner VARCHAR2(30);
vindex VARCHAR2(30);
vtable VARCHAR2(30);
CURSOR cIndex
IS
select OWNER, INDEX_NAME, TABLE_NAME
from dba_indexes;
begin
dbms_output.enable(1000000);
open cIndex;
LOOP
FETCH cIndex INTO vowner, vindex, vtable;
EXIT WHEN cIndex%NOTFOUND;
if (vowner = :OWNER) and (vTable like :TABLENAME)
then
dbms_output.put_line('alter index ' || vowner || '.' || vindex || ' nomonitoring usage;');
end if;
end loop;
close cIndex;
end;
I've tested by setting the bind variables :OWNER to a schema and :TABLENAME to '%' to return all indexes owner by the schema.
As you can see, I don't use \n.
This works fine when run as a script in SQL Developer (each put_line coming out on a separate line) but not as a report.

For 10gR2, per line limit is 32767. The total output now is (supposedly) unlimited
It used to be 1000000.

How to Populate a table with DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line

Hey Guys, it's Xev.
Please only pleasant people reply to this.
I have a PL/SQL Program that searches for strings and then at the end of it it prints out to DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line.
I have the owner, the table_name, the column name and the count, then it goes to DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line
What i want to do, is take the results of DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line and insert it into a table.
Here is the script I am talking about, as you can see it's simple, yet for me it works. I want to take the results of this and insert it into a table. How can i do that??
set serveroutput on size unlimited
execute DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE (buffer_size => NULL);
DECLARE
   FND_GOVIDS       INTEGER;
   BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT owner, table_name, column_name
            FROM all_tab_columns
            WHERE owner = upper('&SCHEMA_NAME'))
LOOP
BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'with a as ( select case when REGEXP_LIKE(' || t.column_name ||
--This searches for 8 Alpha Digits
',''^([[:alpha:]]{2}|[[:alpha:]]{4})?[ ]?[0-9]{8}[ ]?([[:alpha:]]{2}|[[:alpha:]]{4})?$'')
then ''Match Found''
else ''No Match Found'' end as output from ' || t.owner || '.' || t.table_name || ')
select count(*) from a where a.output=''Match Found'' '
      INTO FND_GOVIDS ;
IF FND_GOVIDS > 0         THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (
t.owner
|| '.'
|| t.table_name
|| ' '
|| t.column_name
|| ' '
|| FND_GOVIDS);
END IF;
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS
      THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (
      'Generic Error '
      || t.column_name
      || ' from '
      || t.owner
      || '.'
      || t.table_name);
      END;
   END LOOP;
END;

Nope, the table is empty....
But it ran without error??!?! Wait a minute, I think i have to commit right? Since it's not straight sql, ok, that's what I am going to try..
set serveroutput on size unlimited
execute DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE (buffer_size => NULL);
DECLARE
   FND_GOVIDS       INTEGER;
   BEGIN
FOR t IN (SELECT owner, table_name, column_name
            FROM all_tab_columns
            WHERE owner = upper('&SCHEMA_NAME'))
LOOP
BEGIN
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'with a as ( select case when REGEXP_LIKE(' || t.column_name ||
--This searches for 6 Alpha Digits
',''^([[:alpha:]]|[[:alpha:]]{3})[0-9]{6}$'')
then ''Match Found''
else ''No Match Found'' end as output from ' || t.owner || '.' || t.table_name || ')
select count(*) from a where a.output=''Match Found'' '
      INTO FND_GOVIDS ;
/*Table insert for resulting */
IF FND_GOVIDS > 0 THEN
INSERT INTO "SMEG"."DYNAMIC_COUNTS" (T_OWNER, T_TABLE_NAME, T_COLUMN_NAME, FND_GOVIDS) VALUES
('t.owner','t.table_name','t.column_name','FND_GOVIDS');
END IF;
/* dbms_output */
IF FND_GOVIDS > 0 THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (t.owner || '.' || t.table_name || ' ' || t.column_name || ' ' || FND_GOVIDS);
END IF;
/* Exception Handeling */
EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS
      THEN
      DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (
      'Generic Error '
      || t.column_name
      || ' from '
      || t.owner
      || '.'
      || t.table_name);
      END;
   END LOOP;
END;

Dbms_output.put_line prints a varchar2(32767) variable partially.
