Print and dbms_output.put_line

wats the diff between prin and dbms_output.put_line

BEDE wrote:
Do not expect that the dbms_output.put or .put_line output show while the procedure or PL/SQL block is running. It will show only after it finished running.Unless something else within that PL/SQL execution reads the dbms_output buffer and directs the output somewhere where it can be read during run-time, such as putting it onto a table using an autonomous transaction or putting it out using a web service to another destination etc. Although generally, people don't do that I agree, but it can be done if required.

Pro*Cobol and DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE

I am new to Pro*Cobol and had a simple question (I hope).
I have a stored proc that contains DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE stmts
and I can see those in SQLPlus (when serveroutput=on), but I do
not see them when I call it from Pro*Cobol. Is there a
precompiler setting or something I need to set?

'Far as I know, you'll have to repeatedly call
dbms_output.get_line in your Pro*Cobol program to
get the server output generated by your stored procedure.
Hope that helps.
All the best

Oracle 10.1.0.4.2 SQL Plus dbms_output.put_line not working

I am using Oracle 10.1.0.4.2 SQL Plus, and dbms_output.put_line is not working. It returns the dbms_output ONLY from outside the procedure. I have dbms_output INSIDE my procedure, and none of it gets returned. Please help!
Here is what I enter:
set serveroutput on size 1000000;
DECLARE
x number:=0;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE;
c2reports.c2proc(x,'TEST');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('testX');
END;
testX
There should be more besides the 'testX' that gets returned. The first line in my procedure has output code to print testY. Thanks in advance!

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 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.
Girish

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.

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
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> set linesize 132
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

BUG : DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line and tabs in sqldeveloper 1.2.1 - build 32.00

Hi Guys.
I upgraded from 1.2 and it appears that dbms_output.put_line is now broken.
Consider the following:
begin
dbms_output.put_line('hello world');
end;Process:
1. Load SQL Developer
2. Open a connection to DB
3. Go to DBMS Output tab
4. Enable server output
5. Type in the code (as above)
6. Hit F5
The bug/new feature:
After hitting f5, the DBMS Output tab switches to Script output where by I am presented with "anonymous block completed". In 1.2 (and previous versions) I used to see
anonymous block completed
hello world
in the Script Output tab.
Now I have to switch back to the DBMS Output tab. My problem with this is that there is far too much clicking. Why redirect me away from the tab that is going to actually display the script output only for me to have to click back into that tab? I just don't get it.

Hi,
I also have the problem with the new Released.
SQL Dev 1.2.0.29.98 upgraded with Check for Updates to 1.2.1.32.00
On Windows XP.
I did exactly as Kris Jones post, using Run Script
but, it seems that my SQL Developer doesn't do anything.
The progress bar is active like processing somthing, well, it processes forever.
I tried to cancel the process (button Cancel), but the panel shows that it is still trying to cancel the process (all buttons are disabled except Cancel), although I can do another select (use CTRL + Enter because F9 doesn't work) within the same SQL Worksheet and the panel goes back to the active panel again.
Well, there must be something wrong with the Run Script.
Since any query or pl/sql block seems running forever if I use Run Script.
I try on the SQL Developer 1.2.0.29.98 (luckily, I still keep the backup, just in case) and it shows the result as wanted.
Is there something wrong within my SQL Developer 1.2.0.32.00?
Or there is some patches which I should download?
Is it another bug?
Many thanks,
Buntoro

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.');

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

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

Just a comment. There are no STDOUT or STDERR devices when dealing with PL/SQL programs.
The code runs inside an Oracle server process. That process itself is detached from any display device, any input device (e.g. mouse or keyboard) and any peripheral device (e.g. printer).
DBMS_OUTPUT is simply a persistant PL/SQL buffer that can be created in an Oracle session. The contents of this buffer can be displayed by a client (using the DBMS_OUTPUT API to read and clear the buffer). Do not confuse it with a proper STDOUT/STDERR device.

thanks guys...did i bring back memories?
yeah its an old script. part of an old hot backup script i inherited, for a 24/7 live 9.2.0.1 database that can't be upgraded due to customizations lol
i setup rman, but since i'n still new to rman, i wanted to continue with the user- managed hot backups
this script will run afer the backup, just in case, to ensure that no tablespaces are left in backup mode.
