RE: Simple PL/SQL output question

Morning Mark,

True, I meant a possible gotcha with the code as shown. It was using PUT
rather than PUT_LINE - I thought it possible that  the complete code
(which we didn't get to see) may have missed out a PUT_LINE or a
NEW_LINE.

This is true, but not something I normally do, I put my messages out as
complete lines - when I need to - using PUT_LINE. I think I've used PUT
once in my entire life, maybe twice! ;-)


Cheers,
Norm.
