Spooling issues in SQLPlus

Hi all,
I have a PL/SQL script which I run, which spits out information using the dbms_output.put_line function. I also use some substitution parameters like w2 number:=&wq;
Now when I run my proc in SQLplus I get a prompt to enter values.
for ex: Enter value for wq: 100000
Now when I spool my contents to a file, I get the output from the dbms_output.put_line as well as the above prompt information.
I am looking to spool only the information I print using dbms_output.put_line and not the other pieces of information like :
Enter value for wq: 100000
old 3: w2 number:=&wq;
new 3: w2 number:=100000;
How do I execute that? Are there are any SQLPlus options to disable message spooling.
thx.

Use the accept command of SQL*Plus to accept the values before you do a spool command so as to accept the values and avoid being prompted for values after you do spool command.

Its like one pool is original and other is like Duplicate one, but the Output remains the same except the one wich has date inthe HEADER of the spool list and other without that date in the other spool list.
Please help me on this issue.

Printer spool issue with HP LaserJet 1018

I seem to be having a recurring problem with the HP LaserJet 1018 that I am hoping someone has also had and can help me resolve. When I go to print I get a message that I need to set up a printer (it does not recognize the printer is there). When I click on set up a new printer, I receive a message that the local print spooler service is not running. Nothing I do seems to solve the problem.
This happened to me with my previous 1018 printer. The exact same thing. I had a second 1018 available to me that I connected and it worked just fine for about two months and now is doing the same thing as the first.
I have an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC with Windows 7 (64 bit) operating system. I previously had a Dell with Windows XP that the first printer worked on for a long time (maybe 2+ years). I got this new computer within the past six months and both these printers stopped working while on this computer.
Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

Timing Issue - Running sqlplus for each script in a list of scripts

I have a large number of folders with sql scripts that I need to run from windows with sqlplus. The problem is the scripts must be run in order. When I loop through the scripts and run sqlplus for each one, they sometimes fail because things in the prior script are not yet available.
So I added a jdbc client that checks a table for when the data is available from the prior sqlplus script. It says yes the data is visible in the table so the script can launch the next SQLPlus process but it fails unless I put a 2 second sleep in.
Because sqlplus doesn't have a "CD" command and there are limitations with SQL_PATH and relative imported child scripts, I'm afraid I'm stuck with running multiple sqlplus sessions.

I should clarify that I'm looking for a way to run scripts in sequence with sqlplus. There is an issue where one sqlplus session commits and exits and the next starts but the commit is not yet available to the new sqlplus session. To me this is a bug with sqlplus but maybe someone can explain how this is a "feature".

A question about the SPOOL command in sqlplus

Dear all,
I have a question about the SPOOL Command and I would appreciate if you could kindly give me a hand. Consider the following sql script.
SPOOL result.txt
SELECT * FROM mytable;
SPOOL OFF;This works pretty well, and the whole content of the table "mytable" is exported to the text file "result.txt". However, sqlplus prints also the number of lines
printed after each query. As a result, after running this script, at the end of the file, I have always a line like
"20541 lines returned"How can I avoid this line (the number of returned lines) in my result file?
Thanks in advance,
Dariyoosh

Local printer management --Spooler Issues--

Trouble: of the 3 production printers on a local machine 1 to many of the printers may have a Job get stuck in printing for some unknown issue. Clicking cancel job / Delete fails to remove the Job from the List. At this point i am forced to Kill the Print
Spooler and restart it.
Want to have From Wscript.Shell or VBS: for each printer with a Que Count >1 Find the First JobId with a bad status delete this and Copy the remainder of the PrintQue content to a Local "Temp" location use a CancelAllJobs() method, then Replace
all the Content back into the printer Spooler for re-issue.
Thoughts?
Thanks

I would investigate the root cause of why certain print jobs cause a problem.

Paging in SPOOL Issue!

Hi,
I don't want to make any paging in the spool file but I am always getting a new page after ~65 lines, below my setting:
set verify off
set linesize 3000
set pagesize 6000000
set trimspool on
spool /m/home/omc/aa.txt
select * from KPI order by PST;
spool off
It's under HP-UNIX with Oracle 9i, is there any idea about this issue?
Notice that I did the same under my machine (Windows + Oracle 10g) and everything goes fine (no paging was in the output spool file)!
Thanks in advance

OK, I am entering invalid "pagesize" number. But is there a way that I could disable paging in the output spool file; cause the output of the spool file might be more than 50000 row. I tried to set the "pagesize" to zero, OK it will disable the paging but it's also disable the column heading.
Is there a workaround solution?
Thanks...

Print Spooler Issue

I recently became unable to print. My printer is installed and drivers updated, but I get an error when I try to print that tells me my Print Spooler Service is not running, and I cannot start it.
Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit
HP Touchsmart 310PC
Error Popup:
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Windows could not start the Print Spooler service on local computer.
Error 1053: This service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
Running diagnostics/troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.
When trying to print from some applications I get an error that says "No Default Printer Found. Please choose a printer a try again". I cannot choose another printer because of the spooler error.
Any suggestions?

Printing Purchase Orders in SRM (spool issues, etc.)

Hi SRM Gurus,
Could anyone tell me exactly how the printing of PO's works in SRM? What is the step by step description from PO approval to getting the prinout?
From my understanding, as long as you've configured everything stated from SAP Note 564826 (assign printer LOCL to pgrp, schdule background job RSPPFPROCESS, etc) when you go to transaction "Issue Purchase Orders" and click on the print button...the output will be processed by the background job that we scheduled.
The problem is that, in the spool request, there are two (2) spool numbers created which I don't understand. One is described as OTF_SPOOL and has the title COMP LOCL SAPMSSY1. This always has the status "Completed" and highlighted as green.
The other is an unprocessed spool request described as SCRIPT LOCL SAPMSSY1 I dont know what the difference of these two are, but either way...there was no actual printout.
Is there something I need to know about the background job? It seems the answer is there...
Regards,
Marvin

Access method U (berkeley protocol) would require a printer server which we do not want.
We defined a new device, LOCM that has the procedure M (email to receiver/owner). Ideally, this would send an email with a PDF copy of the purchase order. However, in the spool request the receiver is ALWAYS defined as WF-BATCH. Even if the PO creator is a different user ID, the receiver would be user WF-BATCH still.
Does anyone have an idea how to remove the receiver part in the spool request attributes? Or simply replace that with the owner of the spool?

Spooling issue

I have a sql to spool records.But when I execute this the spool file test.log is having a size of 1k even though
It doesnt contain any records .I want the size of log to be 0 k if no records in it.Any set option can I use to overcome this??
set pagesize 0;
set linesize 100;
set colsep '';
set feedback off;
set term off;
spool tes.log;
select distinct aa.user_id, letter_doc_name from temp_mc_letters aa,
(select distinct user_id, decode(user_id2, null,'not found','99', 'not found','found') found_status
from temp_mc_letters ) a,
(select user_id from
(select distinct user_id, decode(user_id2, null,'not found','99', 'not found','found') found_status
from temp_mc_letters)
group by user_id
having count(9)=1
)                       b
where aa.user_id=a.user_id
and aa.user_id=b.user_id
and a.found_status='not found';

It will work if you run it inside a script:

Print spooler issues with windows 8

printer stopped when i switched to windows 8.
error message telling me print spooler is not functioning
unable to get it to function...every probram indicates that printer is working properly, yet it shows that I have no printer installed and my printer cannot be found or activated no matter what I do.
Joseph J Grech

Hi,
If updating the printer driver cannot fix the issue, please also try the following steps:
Clear Printer Spooler Files and Enable the Spooler Service
=================================
1. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
2. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
3. Click Stop and click OK.
4. Navigate to "%WINDIR%\system32\spool\printers", delete all files in this folder.
5. Run "Services.msc" (without the quotation marks).
6. Double-click "Printer Spooler" in the Services list.
7. Click on Start. In the Startup Type list, make sure that "Automatic" is selected and click OK.

LaserJet CM1312 MSP series spooler issues on Windows XP/BootCamp on MBP

In a mixed environment:
Mac G5 connected by ethernet to router,
MacBook Pro wireless connection to router and
Windows XP PC tower connected by ethernet to router,
the CM1312 connected by ethernet to router prints fine except for:
the MMPro (while in BootCamp) and the PC running Windows XP where there are spooling errors and printing fails.
I need to better understand the issue and find a solution asap.

Did you install the right device driver for your hardware???

Hi Vara,
By default there will be a value set by the administrator for the number of pages you can view in the spool. So to me it looks like this value is set to 33 in yoru case. You can go to setting from the same screen and change thsi setting to display all pages. But beware that this may take a long time some times and also give you a dump at times.
