What do you want to edit? It appears that you haven't typed a SQL statement (at least the first word should be the first word of a valid SQL-statement) to edit. Try: SQL> select * from dual; SQL> ed it might work better, then. Another thing that can help you avoiding questions : on the AIX-prompt, type dgs.dbalert199:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0> oerr sp2 0107 00107,0, "Nothing to save.\n" // *Cause: Nothing in the SQL buffer when attempting to save the // content to a file. // *Action: Enter a SQL command to save. dgs.dbalert199:/opt/oracle/product/9.2.0> Best regards, Carel-Jan Engel === If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
