And the answer (to Nuno's query) appears to be, yes!

The following has been @'d (started) with sqlbl on and off and both
times, it worked as expected:

declare
   vDummy varchar2(100);

begin
   select 'Hello World!'

   into vDummy
   from


   dual;

   dbms_output.put_line(vDummy);
end;
/

I have also pasted it directly into sqlplus with sqlbl on and off, and
again, both times, it worked as expected.

The following was not so lucky:

   select 'Hello World!'

 
   from


   dual;
   
Starting (@) the file with sqlbl on, the result is as expected and with
it off, the errors are:

SP2-0042: unknown command "from" - rest of line ignored.
SP2-0042: unknown command "dual" - rest of line ignored.

Pasting the code directly into sqlplus gives the same results.


Cheers,
Norm.
