what exactly do you expect to see, if in fact it worked as desired?

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.

Output variable value (DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE)

Hello,
I just started using ORACLE and am learning about PL/SQL. My question is how do you output a variable? I am running the following in an SQL Worksheet, but I can't output the value:
DECLARE
v_Temp VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
v_Temp :='help me';
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_Temp);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Text In Single');
END;
Thanks, sck10

Problem using a Boolean variable

Greetings;
I'm writing a game in which the player and 'enemies' fall off the screen when they 'die'. The problem is that I also want to constrain their movement to within the screen boundaries whenever they have not been killed. To start I thought I'd go into the class I wrote to handle the player falling off the screen when he's touched by an enemy and create a boolean variable so that Flash would know to let him fall off the screen when killed, but remain constrained on the screen until that point.The problem is that now the player stays on the screen even when I want him to fall off (i.e. after he's been hit).
The class I wrote to handle the player dying is below, and the boolean variable is called 'playerBeenHit'. Since the player only gets a y acceleration when hit, I tried using the 'ay' variable to control the behavior but with the same results. In troubleshooting I tried to trace(playerBeenHit) on every frame and noticed it would go to 'true' and then set itself back to 'false' for three out of four readouts even after the player was hit. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
Thanks,
Jeremy

that shouldn't compile. don't you see an error message about your boolean being assigned an int? you are publishing for as3, correct?

Dbms_output.put_line problem..

We have created delete script to some 150 tables using cursors suppose we r deleting with some condition and use to display the output as
dbms_output.put_line('Rows Deleted in the table distb_store_promo is '||SQL%ROWCOUNT);
its shows error like it exceeds the limit.so we made setserver output off and running the query it works fine.is any other solution to overcome this..

> is any other solution to overcome this..
Yes. Do not use DBMS_OUTPUT. It is a very primitive API - useful for the odd debug display when debugging PL/SQL code. It should not be used for anything else. In fact, any DBMS_OUTPUT code in production PL/SQL requires serious reconsideration as those calls should be wrapped in a user PL/SQL proc.
The proper and correct method would be to create a log PL/SQL procedure to log messages into an Oracle table, using autonomous transactions.

Error in dbms_output with bind variables ?

Can you help me about the different results in "SQL Developer" and "SQL*Plus" wiht dbms_output package?
I execute next code:var v1 number;
var v2 varchar2(20);
set serveroutput on
begin
:v1 := 10;
:v2 := 'Hello';
dbms_output.put_line('In first block:');
dbms_output.put_line('v1 = '||to_char(:v1));
dbms_output.put_line('v2 = '||:v2);
end;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('In second block:');
dbms_output.put_line('v1 = '||to_char(:v1));
dbms_output.put_line('v2 = '||:v2);
end;
In SQL*Plus, the result is:In first block:
v1 = 10
v2 = Hello
In second block:
v1 = 10
v2 = Hello
In SQL Developer, the result is:In first block:
v1 =
v2 =
In second block:
v1 = 10
v2 = Hello
What happen's in SQL Developer? I work with Oracle SQL Developer 1.5.1.
Thanks, very much

Isidre,
The problem appears to be in with how SQL Developer treats multiple references to the same bind variable in PL/SQL. As well as evaluating all bind references before starting the PL/SQL block, only the first assignment to the bind variables in a PL/SQL block is recognised.
var v1 number;
var v2 varchar2(20);
set serveroutput on
begin
dbms_output.put_line('First block ...');
:v1 := 10;
:v2 := 'First assignment';
:v1 := 20;
:v2 := 'Second assignment';
end;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('Second block ...');
dbms_output.put_line('v1 = '||to_char(:v1));
dbms_output.put_line('v2 = '||:v2);
end;
/Produces the following:
anonymous block completed
First block ...
anonymous block completed
Second block ...
v1 = 10
v2 = First assignmentThis has been discussed before (as part of EA3/EA2/EA1 - Bind Variables in PL/SQL but no bug reference was given for this problem.

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.

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.
My Email-id is : [email protected]
I will expect yor early mail.

Problem with DBMS_OUTPUT and SQL statment with a function

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04 and I have a function that has a dbms_output statment in it. I am running the following SQL to select the output of that statment.
select A.A_FUCTION('TEST') from dual;
The output works fine but the dbms_output line does not show in the dbms_output window. I turned on the output window etc. and i can get the select to print out the output if i wrap it in a declare begin end wrapper... and then change the query to insert the return value into variable.
just wondering if there is way to get the dbms_output to flush out with just an SQL statment instead of in a begin end wrapper etc.

just wondering if there is way to get the dbms_output to flush out with just an SQL statment instead of in a begin end wrapper etc.works fine in sql*plus, so I guess it must be a preference or sth. in sql*developer:

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

I want to put a dbms_output.put_line in this query so it will give my the property_id is checking first in the PM_EXCHANGE_PROPERTY_PRIORITY
(its part of a more bigger procedure)
dbms_output.put_line('RESORT ID one=> '||rci_dep_rec.resort_id);
        with
            base_prop as (
                select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ property_id, priority

       ORDER BY bp.priority,pput.pm_unit_type_priority;
    end;
     dbms_output.put_line('RESORT ID => '||rci_dep_rec.resort_id);
but im not sure where i can put ii, i have it to give my the resort_id
i want to know which one the property_id is checking first, there is only two , one has a higher priority
for example if i hardcoded it
select /*+ MATERIALIZE */ property_id, priority
                from   PM_EXCHANGE_PROPERTY_PRIORITY ppp
                where ppp.exchange_affiliation = 'EZY'
                and    ppp.master_property_id in (select ppp2.master_property_id
                                                             from   P_PM_PROPERTY ppp1, PM_EXCHANGE_PROPERTY_PRIORITY ppp2
                                                             where ppp1.rci_id_number = '8789'
                                                             and    ppp1.property_active = 'Y'
                                                            and    ppp1.exchange_affiliation = 'RCI,II'
                                                             and    ppp2.property_id = 'VDG')
        union
                select property_id, 99999
                from   P_PM_PROPERTY ppp
                where ppp.rci_id_number ='8789'
                and    ppp.property_active = 'Y'
                and    not exists (select 1 from PM_EXCHANGE_PROPERTY_PRIORITY ppp1 where ppp1.property_id = 'VDG')
                order by 2
i would get this
   PROPERTY_ID|PRIORITY
    VDR         |1
    VDG         |2
thanks for help or tips

Hi Nat,
Your question is not very clear (other wise you would have an answer from this forum by now).
What you are showing is an SQL (which is part of bigger picture). Bigger picture is important. Is it a PL/SQL procedure or function?
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUTLINE is a procedures call, that can be called in PL/SQL. What you have shown us is a SQL from within the PL/SQL.
Please do NOT paste a larger piece of code.
The place where you ave shown the DBMSOUTPUT.PUT_LINE seems correct.
However,
You said
but im not sure where i can put ii, i have it to give my the resort_id
i want to know which one the property_id is checking first, there is only two , one has a higher priority
The sequence in which rows are processed does NOT matter in SQL and there is no such thing as "checking first". ALL the rows that satisfy the criteria. Since you have ORDER BY the rows will be returned in that order.
Please explain what problem you are trying to solve.
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002
Hope this helps.

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE Issue

Hi All,
I have created one simple package to create the log file. It's generating the log file but it's not writing anything in the log file. Please let me know what's wrong.
I'm using Windows 2000 and Oracle 9i
Here is the Code :
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pkg_LoadData AS
v_exists     BOOLEAN;
v_error_buf VARCHAR2(100);
n_retcode     NUMERIC;
Procedure Sch_A;
v_MessageLog UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
END pkg_LoadData;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pkg_LoadData AS
PROCEDURE Sch_A_Pos_R AS
v_DBName           VARCHAR2(100);
v_LogDir          VARCHAR2(100);
v_LogFileName          VARCHAR2(100);
v_StartTime     VARCHAR2(100);
v_EndTime          VARCHAR2(100);
v_ProcName      VARCHAR2(100) := 'pkgLoadData.Sch_A:';
v_Space               VARCHAR2(1) := ' ';
v_Record_Count NUMBER(10) := 0;
v_FileOpenMode VARCHAR2(1) := 'W'; --Write
BEGIN
v_LogFileName := 'status.log';
IF (UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN(v_MessageLog)) THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_LogFileName || ' file is already opened...');
ELSE
v_MessageLog := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('PKGDIR', v_LogFileName, v_FileOpenMode);
-- PKDIR's value is C:\xxxxx
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Opening log file ' || v_LogFileName);
END IF;
v_StartTime := 'Procedure ' ||v_ProcName||' started at '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'dd-Mon-yy hh:mi:ss');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_StartTime);
v_EndTime := 'Procedure ' || v_ProcName ||' completed at '|| TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'dd-Mon-yy hh:mi:ss');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(v_EndTime);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_MessageLog);
END Sch_A;
END pkg_LoadData;
/

When I searched init.ora file. I found only one file
with name init.ora.2102007193333
in that I have added
utl_file_dir = *
Well that looks like a backup file so it'll have no effect.
Which is probably a good thing, as adding "*" to your utl_file_dir setting opens your operating system up to being hacked!!!
There is no need, any longer, to set the utl_file_dir parameter, and you should never set it to "*".
All that is required is to create a directory object on the database and grant the relevant permissions to that object.
