Problem with script parameters

Question

Hi,
I want to pass the parameter 'RTE REFERENCE' to a script.
Here is my script :
define UTIL = &1
set serveroutput on
declare
UTI VARCHAR2(20);
begin
dbms_output.enable(100000);
UTI := '&UTIL';
dbms_output.put_line('Valeur passée en paramètre : '||UTI);
end;
EXIT;
I run the script as following :
sqlplus -S infolig/xxxx@REFI @test.sql 'RTE REFERENCE'
If I replace 'RTE REFERENCE' by "RTE REFERENCE", I obtain the same result.
But dbms_output returns RTE instead of RTE REFERENCE.
What is the problem ?
Regards,
Rachel

Answer 1

or you can simplify it by:
  set serveroutput on
  declare
    UTI VARCHAR2(20) := '&1';;
  begin
    dbms_output.enable(100000); 
    dbms_output.put_line('Valeur passée en paramètre : '||UTI);
  end;
  EXIT;
