DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE Truncation

Toad for Oracle & DevOps Toolkit
1

Message from: dave.bingham_718

I’m trying to use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE in Toad for Oracle version 10 and it keeps on truncating the input string by one character. For example if I type DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘123456789’), the output reads ‘12345678’. I’ve tried the same thing while logged on to sql*plus on the same database and the output is correct, so I’m assuming it’s a setting somewhere in Toad. Anyone any iddeas ?

Dave,

I'm trying to use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE in Toad for Oracle
version 10 and it keeps on truncating the input string by
one character. For example if I type
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('123456789'), the output reads
'12345678'. I've tried the same thing while logged on to
sql*plus on the same database and the output is correct, so
I'm assuming it's a setting somewhere in Toad. Anyone any ideas ?

I'm on Toad 10.5 GA and it works fine for me. Oracle 9i client, 10g
database. What font are you using for your DBMS_OUTPUT window?
(View->Toad Options->Oracle/General) Mine is Courier New 10 pt.

There is/was a problem with Italic text losing bits of the final
character in PL/SQL comments, it may be related.

Cheers,
Norm. [TeamT]

PS. This is probably better in the main Toad group as opposed to
ToadSQL. It's not really an SQL question, more Toad itself. I've taken
the liberty of replying there as well.

I just ran

begin

dbms_output . put_line ( ‘1234567891’ );

end;

in Toad 10.1 and it worked fine.

Is it possible you have a font problem – outputting in a proportional
rather than fixed pitch font?

Thanks Norm. I’ve tried a few other things in the meantime. It seems to work ok with a 10G database, but not with a 9i. I’m using Toad 10.5 with a version 8 client and a 9i database. The font I’m using for the editor is Calibri regular 10 point. I’ve also tried courier and get the same porblem.

Regards

Dave
