SQL*plus not displaying the result of XMLELEMENT

Question

HI,
I am using SQL*Plus: Release 10.1.0.4.2
Connected to: Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0
When I run the following query in SQL*PLUS, I get nothing displayed. However when I run the same query connecting to the same database using SQL Developer then I get the result
SQL> select XMLELEMENT("form_id",form_id)
2 FROM collections;
XMLELEMENT("FORM_ID",FORM_ID)
In SQL developer
<form_id>101</form_id>
I set long and longchuncksize to 32K , and I change linesize, pages, but nothing helped
Is there any configuration that I have to do, so that SQL*plus display the result of “ select XMLELEMENT("form_id",form_id) query.
Appreciate you help, thanks
