Sqlplus outputs everything in 1 line

Hello,
A colleague just logged in in his Unix system with sqlplus for the first time in 9i.
The output of a statent is displayed in 1 coninued row and not in collumns.
What can be wrong.
Any ideas ?
Thank you

SQLPlus output within bash script

Hey everyone, I wasn't sure if this should go here or in the SQL forum or the Linux forum, but here goes:
Using Oracle10g on Linux, I'm using a bash script to run an sql script, but when I try to echo the results, it shows the output in a single line.
Here's the script
USERLIST=`sqlplus -s / AS SYSDBA <<EOF
   set head off
   set verify off
   set feedback off
   SELECT username from dba_users;
   exit;
EOF
`
echo $USERLIST;And here's the output:
oracle@apps scripts]$ ./userl.sh
PAYROLL HR2 CORE DEMO TIMEKEEPING SYS EXPENSE Is there anyway so that the output can be shown with line breaks, where all the output is not on one line? I understand I can spool to a file using the spool command, however I'd like to try and get it working this way first.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.

How make "Scanner" not printing the output in a new line?

Hi!
I'm Jordi from Barcelona and I'm new on Java and on this Forum. I have a question to you. I'm developing a testing application that uses the "Scanner".
Before using it, the app asks a question to the user:
String strInput;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("* Please, write your name: ");
strInput = sc.next();Running this, the app asks me for the options and after pressing "Enter" prints the input string in a new line like this:
* Please, write your name:
Jordi
And I would to get the next:
* Please, write your name: Jordi
Does anybody know how to make the "Scanner" print the output in the same line as the question?
Thanks for your help!
Jordi

Running the code,
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Test {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.print("* Please, write your name: ");
        System.out.println("* Hi, "+sc.next());
}results in the following output:
* Please, write your name: Bart
* Hi, BartWhere the first "Bart" is the input I gave.
If this is not the case, then it has something to do with your IDE or perhaps you didn't recompile and it previously was
System.out.println("* Please, write your name: "); // println instead of printbut it's all guesses.
Good luck.

How to format sqlplus output

In previous OTN Forum format we used {code} to format sqlplus output , how to do in this version ?

Click on "Use Advanced Editor".
Highlight your code.
Click on the symbol >>
Select Syntax Highlighting
Select SQL...output looks like below:
select sysdate from dual;

Output shows the single line

Dear All
I have a form which shows the output for only one line for a give parameter. But when the same query is copied from the form it shows all 36 rows in backend. i think the issue is becuse of property palette.
Kindly update it.
regards

Printing everything on same line

Hi all,
I want to write text on a text File in a formatted manner, such that there is line break after every line.The problem I am facing is that it print everything on same line. When we use "/n" it generates a dummy character. We are using FileWriter
String s="Hello"+"\n"+"Everybody";
FileWriter f=new FileWriter("abc.txt",true);
f.write(s);
f.close();
I want every time this code is runs it should print sentences on different line.

Then I would recommend that you wrap a PrintWriter around your FileWriter and use its methods named println(), then you won't have to worry about newlines yourself. Since a newline is different depending on what OS you run your program on, that is a safer approach than just typing "\n" (which only works as newlines on Unix type OS's btw, on Windows it comes out as garbage when viewd in for example Notepad since Windows uses "\r\n" for newline)
Like this (reusing your code)
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("abc.txt",true);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(fw);
pw.println("Hello");
pw.println("Everybody");
pw.close();Another alternative is to use System.getProperty("line.separator") instead of "\n" to make it work on all platforms.
HTH,
Fredrik

HELP please! :) My ipod gets like lock, everything appear with lines, I already restore like three times the ipod and still happens the same, what can I do? and on some app store they just told me that restore, but well I do and is the same!

My ipod gets like lock, everything appear with lines, I already restore like three times the ipod and still happens the same, what can I do? and on some app store they just told me that restore, but well I do and is the same! What can I do?? and is new, I buy it on march!
This is a image of the ipod already restore, and everytime looks like that!

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod dow not solve the problem you likely have a hardware problem. In that case either make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If defective, Apple will replace your iPod at no cost.

SQLPlus Output issue

Running mutiple versions of SQLPlus with the same issue : 11.1.0.6.0, 11.1.0.7.0, 11.2.0.1.0 connecting to an external suppliers 9.2.0.8 database
Batch file calls a number of sql scripts and creates and then appends the output to a file like this :
sqlplus -s user@server @SQLStatement.sql >> %FILENAME%.TMP
Within the SQL Statment we've got the following set statements then the select :
set pagesize 0
set heading off
set echo off
set verify off
set linesize 3999
set long 1000000
select lots of XMLELEMENTs Where .......
Within the output there are single space's, when the end of the line should be a space it actually drops the space and has the next line just after the last character.
Changing the linesize has no effect other than decressing the number of times it happens by having a less rows by having a larger number.
Is there a way to get the missing space back within Oracle or will I need to modify the tmp file with something like sed ?
Many Thanks

... But honestly I wasn't facing to any problem with the older version.Neither I, but who knows... Here is a list of add-ons and bugs fixed since version 0.24. The list is extracted from rlwrap's "NEWS" file.
0.28 rlwrap bug that caused termcap problems on Fedora Core 6
fixed (thanks Tung Nguyen)
0.27 when stdin is not a terminal, rlwrap will now exec() the
specified command instead of complaining
when stdout or stderr is not a terminal, rlwrap will re-open
it to /dev/tty (the users terminal) after forking off the
specified command (so "rlwrap cat > file" will work as a
quick and dirty line editor)
rlwrap now remembers inputs of length 1
-D option to tell rlwrap how agressively it should weed out
duplicate history entries
-H option added (history format string)
Added temporary fix for termcap weirdness on Fedora Core 6
new -t option for a quick check of terminal capabilities
(requires configuration with --enable-debug)
rlwrap -s 0 <command> will now zap <commands> history
fixed broken reporting of unrecognised options
0.26 configure on FreeBSD 6.0 still didn't find libutil
some files were unnecessarily kept open (thanks Stephan Springl)
on each platform, rlwrap -h now accurately reflects whether
rlwrap can use long options or optional arguments
0.25 rlwrap would print input twice when in vi-mode
rlwrap under FreeBSD 6.0 now uses openpty() from libutil (config
script fixed)
-P option added (one-shot rlwrap with pre-given prompt)
Until now, whem the underlying command was killed by a signal,
rlwrap would just exit with exit code 0. Now rlwrap will
cleanup, reset its signal handlers and then send the same signal
to itself - so that rlwraps parent (usually a shell) doesn't see
the difference with an un-rlwrapped command

Misaligned SQLPlus output

Hi,
Yes, I know this should go in the SQLPlus (tumbleweed) forum, but somebody there asked exactly the same question over a month ago and it still hasn't received even one attempted reply!
So, simple question; why is the following output misaligned? Specifically, the value 14 for SAMPLE_SIZE is placed in the middle of its column, and consequently LAST_ANALYZED (21-feb-13) is shoved into the SAMPLE_SIZE column:
1 select column_name, data_type, avg_col_len, density, num_distinct NDV, histogram, num_buckets buckets, sample_
size, last_analyzed,data_type
2 from dba_tab_cols
3 where owner = 'SCOTT'
4 and table_name = 'EMP'
5 and column_name = 'EMPNO'
6* order by internal_column_id
SYS@ORCL> /
COLUMN_NAME               DATA_TYPE AVG_COL_LEN     DENSITY          NDV HISTOGRAM       BUCKETS SAMPLE_SIZE LAST_
ANAL DATA_TYPE
EMPNO                     NUMBER               4 .071428571           14 NONE                  1       14 21-FEB-1
3 NUMBER
SYS@ORCL>Btw, the **** above should read A N A L (without the spaces) as in LAST_ANALYZED but a rather enthusiastic filter seems to be at work.
Second question - I was wondering if I had entered a COLUMN ... FORMAT command that had screwed things up..but as far as I can tell, there is no way to retrieve the list of column formats that SQLPlus is currently using - or is there?
*****Edit - ignore the second question - I just found that you can simply type
COLUMNto get a listing of all column formatting instructions currently in use. I checked to see if SAMPLE_SIZE has any formatting applied to it and it does not.
Many thanks,
Jason

Hi guys
Sorry, forgot to "watch" the thread.
Well, thanks for your advice, which all seems to boil down to setting linesize. I should have said, I had already looked at this and discounted it as responsible for the issue. I've been able to refine the problem with the following use case:
SCOTT@ORCL> SHOW LINESIZE
linesize 120
SCOTT@ORCL> DROP TABLE T;
Table dropped.
SCOTT@ORCL> create table T (X number);
Table created.
SCOTT@ORCL> insert into t values (14);
1 row created.
SCOTT@ORCL> commit;
Commit complete.
SCOTT@ORCL> select * from t;
X
14
SCOTT@ORCL> select lpad('Z',100,'Z') dummy , X from T;
DUMMY                                                                                                      X
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ      14
SCOTT@ORCL>What you can see is that the formatting of the column X changes. When just that column is selected, all is fine. When it is output next to other column output, it gets misaligned.
I think it may have something to do with the Window width, which I currently have set to 115.
If I set the linesize to a few less (not one less) than 115, it seems to wrap the next column okay. But more testing is needed (though it's not exactly the kind of thing you want to waste hours on...although it's bloody annoying!!).Probably a combination of your window width, AND the font. If it is a 'proportional' font, a space will not be as wide as a "Z" or a "W" ... a string of spaces will tend to pull everything following it to the left. Oracle and SQLPlus have no control over how your windows client renders things.

SQLPLUS: define variable with multiple lines

Hi All,
I need define a varaible with multiple lines as following:
define schema_name = 'aaa',
'bbb',
'ccc';
select * from tb_test where sName in &schema_name;
However, it seems SQLPLUS dose not like the way I define the variable. What I want to do is to select * from tb_test where sName in ('aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'). I would like to use multiple lines in the define. Any suggestion?
Thanks,

Hi,
If the substitution variable contains special characters, such as spaces or single-quotes, then enclosed the whole value in double-quotes, like this:
DEFINE schema_list = "'aaa', 'bbb', 'ccc'"
If you really need linefeeds in the value, then you might have to use COLUMN ... NEW_VALUE (or OLD_VALUE) to set the value. For example:
COLUMN schema_list_col NEW_VALUE schema_list
SELECT '''aaa'', ' || CHR (10)
     || '''bbb'', ' || CHR (10)
     || '''ccc'''     AS schema_list_col
FROM    dual;

In the output list Repeating one line always when generating query by sq01

Hi,
I have generated a query in sq01 for list material document for movment type 301 (Transfer posting) using below tables :
MSEG          Material No. MATNR, Movt. - BWART, Qty. -MENGE
MKPF          Material doc. field MBLNR
MARC          Stock in Transit UMLMC
some times it is generating the output as i want i.e.
Material document          material no.      qty.     movt.      stock in transit
4001               1xx          1     301     0
4002               2xx          2     301     0
but some time it is repeating the same line in output ie..
Material document          material no.      qty.     movt.      stock in transit
4001               1xx          1     301     0
4001               1xx          1     301     0
4001               1xx          1     301     0
4001               1xx          1     301     0
Please let me know the reason. is there any control in sq01.
Thanks

Yeah it is clear visible that, the same combination might have available in different plants.
So to avoid the duplicate entries, always select all the primary key fields available in all the tables in the output.
If not atleast try restricting based on plant in the selection screen or any possible duplicate entreis.
So add the key fields at Infoset level in SQ02

Spool output conatins unwanted blank line

Hi all,
I've just written a new program that outputs a report to the spool when run in batch mode. The report looks great aside from an unwanted blank line that appears in the middle of the report when I view the spool...if I run the program from the command line and set the sy-batch variable to write the spool contents to the screen I see no blank line. how do I get rid of the blank line? Thanks in advacne for any assitance provided.
Mat

Hi Mat,
The blank line you see on the spool (as distinct from the screen) is probably a page break. The spool will always apply a page format and split the list according to the length of the page.
I guess you can get round this by creating a page format with the maximum number of lines (99999 lines).

Nick

How to avoid output file and error lines when condition does not match

Hi Experts
A customer want to send purchase order files to several vendors and each vendor has their own requirement to content and file format. I have prepared scenarios for each vendor and a template is (conditionally) called when CardCode matches. It works fine, - PO file is generated when CardCode matches, but error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center each time CardCode does not match the one defined in a scenario (100 or more times per day). Problem is that these error lines does not get automatic deleted. Conditional processing are made in this way:
Result Message in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match:
I tried to avoid an error line in SAP B1 Control Center when CardCode does not match in this way:
Then no error lines are written to SAP B1 Control Center, but an output file is generated each time (order file when CardCode matches and an empty file when CardCode does not match).
Any suggestions on how to avoid both errors types (error lines in SAP B1 Control Center and empty output files)?
Or - can lines in SAP B1 Control Center be automatic deleted?
Regards
Steen

Hi Steen,
using <b1im_skip> should be the right approach, if you're working with B1 OUTBOUND.
Following extract form the B1i help describes the usage to skip the outbound processing:
1.1 Skipping Outbound Processing
If you do not want to hand over the message to the receiver system, the scenario step can create a special tag that indicates to generic processing in the integration framework to skip the message processing.
Add the following to the final transformation atom (atom0):
<b1im_skip xmlns= ”” info=”my info” msglog=”true” msgout="yes">
If the integration framework skips the message, it puts the message log information to the Filtered section, if the message log is switched on. The result message contains the Message skipped by vBIU logic information.
info
To display an individual message, define it using the info attribute.
msglog
If you want to avoid an entry in the message log, introduce the msglog attribute and set it to false.
msgout
To display the skip information in the Success section of the message log, use the msgout attribute and set it to yes.
In case you don't want any MsgLogEntry in case of a skipped message, please enter the following in final atom0:
<xsl:template name="transform">
<xsl:attribute name="pltype">xml</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$msg/BOM/BO/Documents/row/CardCode='C20000'">
<xsl:call-template name="transform2"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<b1im_skip info="skipped" msglog="false"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
