HUGECLOB-XML-Output with sqlplus doesn't work. But in Toad everything OK

Hi folks
This is the relevant part of my shell script

XML_out ()
{
sqlplus -S < /var/tmp/current.xml

set echo Off
set term On
set pages 0
set head off
set ver off
set feed off
set trims on

SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.
getxml (
‘SELECT a.user_id, b.jc_name, b.con_jc_name FROM USER_JC a,
jc_jc b WHERE a.jc_name = b.jc_name AND b.JC_NAME LIKE
‘‘71_SEC_WEST_%’’’)
FROM DUAL;

exit
EOF
}

The SQL statement works well in Toad and gives me a huge XML output
(HUGECLOB) - 1MB file. But with sqlplus I see only one partial row.

Hi Sven,

set long n

In SQL*Plus this determines the maximum size of a LONG, CLOB, NCLOB and
XMLType that will be displayed.

N defaults to 80 and has a maximum size (in 10g) of 2,000,000,000.

Cheers,

Hi Norm

thanks. Works fine. Toad is much more user friendly than SQLPlus. I
think I need to study a little bit SQL
Plus
