"set linesize" is a SQL*Plus commmand. The database knows nothing about "set linesize". DBI talks directly to the database engine, so only Oracle SQL statements are understood. Why are you wanting to issue a "set linesize" command? It's the responsibility of your script to format the output appropriately; DBI can't help with that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
