sqlcontinue changes the prompt for the continuation of a SQL*Plus command, not a SQL command. sqlnumber off will mean that instead of having number prompts on the continuation of a SQL statement the SQL prompt will be continued (which I personally find annoying).
set sqlnumber off should eliminate the problem of the "indented first line", but you won't get a continuation prompt at all. Example (using SQL*Plus 8.1.7): SQL> -- continuation of a SQL*Plus command. SQL> prompt - > Hello World Hello World SQL> set sqlcontinue "Next> " SQL> prompt - Next> Hello World Hello World SQL> -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ SQL> -- continuation of a SQL command SQL> select * 2 from dual where 1 = 2 ; aucune ligne sélectionnée SQL> set sqlnumber off SQL> select * SQL> from dual where 1 = 2 ; aucune ligne sélectionnée > -----Original Message----- > From: Arup Nanda [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: mardi, 22. juillet 2003 12:44 > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: Re: possible to set continuation prompt in sql*plus? > > > I suggested using SET SQLNUMBER OFF.
