Not able to append "/" with dbms_metadata.

Question

Hi All,
I am using 11gr2 and need to generate ddl for objects grants . i order to do this , I am using dbms_metadata to generate it. I need to add "/" after each command , but it's only adding to last page of the grants. also, even the linsize has been set to 200, but the output is still wraps around before 200.
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('OBJECT_GRANT', USERNAME) || '/' DDL
FROM DBA_USERS where username in (select grantee from dba_tab_privs) and username in ('user')
  GRANT SELECT ON "PACKAGING"."ASSOCIATED_COMPONENTS
_V" TO "AALKHALI"
  GRANT SELECT ON "PACKAGING"."ASSOCIATED_COMPONENTS2_V" TO
"AALKHALI"

Hi,
You have to use dbms_metadata.set_transform_param in order to specify the SQLTERMINATOR (either ; or /) before issuing the GET_DDL :System@my11g SQL>exec dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.SESSION_TRANSFORM,'SQLTERMINATOR',true);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
System@my11g SQL>SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_GRANTED_DDL('OBJECT_GRANT', USERNAME) u_ddl
