SET DEFINE OFF no longer working

Toad for Oracle
1

A couple of us are using TOAD v10 while the rest of the company is using TOAD v9. I am trying to insert a row into a table and some of the string literals have an underscore (like “Mark_Adon”). I can use the SET DEFINE OFF in conjunction with my insert and everything works fine in v9 when I SelectAll and hit F9 but does not work on my v10. The message I get is “ORA-00922: missing or invalid option”.

I did some searching on my own and found a suggestion to right-clich the editor window then check or uncheck the Prompt for Substitution Variables option but it fails wither way.

Any ideas?

SET DEFINE OFF is a script function so you need to use F5, not F9 to execute.

SET DEFINE is a SQLPlus command and must be executed with the script engine (F5). F9 executes single statements only and does not handle SQLPlus.

When running a script using F5 you are still prompted for variables. So it is not the same as SQL*Plus SET DEFINE OFF.

Please provide an example. When I run the following as script I am prompted for the first variable. The second returns ORA error. In SQL*Plus the behavior is
nearly identical although it’s an SP2-0552 error that is raised instead.

select
&var from dual;

SET
DEFINE
OFF

select &var
from dual;
