Answer 1

You shouldn't have the problem. Show some test cases.
SQL> CREATE TABLE test_clob (id NUMBER,clob_col CLOB);
Table created.
SQL> DECLARE
  2    v_clob_locator CLOB;
  3    v_clob         CLOB;
  4  BEGIN
  5    INSERT INTO test_clob
  6    VALUES
  7      (1, EMPTY_CLOB())
  8    RETURNING clob_col INTO v_clob_locator;
  9    v_clob := 'This is test line
10  and it coniatns 0.124 and it seems that
11  .124 is not showing.';
12    dbms_lob.append(v_clob_locator, v_clob);
13    COMMIT;
14  END;
15  /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> set long 10000
SQL> SELECT * FROM test_clob;
        ID
CLOB_COL
         1
This is test line
and it coniatns 0.124 and it seems that
.124 is not showing.
SQL> DECLARE
  2   v_clob CLOB;
  3  BEGIN
  4   SELECT CLOB_COL INTO v_clob
  5   FROM test_clob
  6   WHERE id=1;
  7   DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.clob2file(v_clob,'TEST_DIR','clobtest.txt',0);
  8  END;
  9  /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
C:\>type clobtest.txt
This is test line
and it coniatns 0.124 and it seems that
.124 is not showing.
C:\>The only thing is the last parameter (Character set id).
