I tried the SQL Worksheet, SQL*Plus and svrmgr23. makes no difference The story behind the scene is : I am sending this via plsql to an external procedure (a C .dll) , which directly sends it to a printer. The linewrap is exactly at the very = same position. So it prints 2 lines, although just 1 line has been sent out. > Frank < ________________________________________________________________________= Wichtiger Hinweis / Important Notice=20 Diese E-Mail inkl.
