pasted sqlplus script no longer running

2 New Member
This is not a sqlplus script problem per se but I don't know where else to go with my problem.

I use wordpad to record my sqlplus script, then copy and paste it into the sqlplus prompt. I've run many scripts successfully. All of a sudden, instead of stopping and running my script, the script is read all the way to the end with no download. If I e-mail it to someone else they can run it fine. I retyped it once today and succeeded. Then it wouldn't run again. I have the same problem on my laptop. What could have changed/failed? Something about my setup? I'm mystified.

i am not able to understand your issue. Are you not able to run the sql script after copy paste from wordpad to sqlplus?

I suppose you are trying to copy paste the code directly in sql plus window which is not the right way.

Do one thing:

1. Connect to sql plus
2. Just type SELECT; in SQLPLUS
Eg:

SQL> SELECT;

This would give you some error. This step is just to write a data to a buffer so that when you use the below command it opens an editor for you to paste your code

3.

SQL> ed

This command should open a window with the text (SELECT;) that you entered in step 2. Just remove that data and paste your actual code after copying it from your wordpad. Save the data and close the editor window. Then run the code from SQL PLUS. This should work

I am installing Oracle 9i client runtime on AIX 5.1-003. The installation completes successfully, but neither the Net Configuration Assistant or SQLPLUS will run. I get the following error when trying to run netca: Error loading native library: libnjni9.so. java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: jniGetOracleHome at oracle.net.common.NetGetEnv.getOracleHome(NetGetEnv.java) at oracle.net.ca.CmdlineArgs.setOraArgs(CmdlineArgs.java)

I'm running sqlplus from a DOS command line and inducing an error by purposly giving it the wrong script (hence, it cannot find the script file.) What it is doing is exiting to the SQL> prompt as show below. What I NEED it to do is exit to the DOS prompt. c:\>sqlplus someuser/mypass@mydb NonExistantCommandFile.sql SQL> Does someone know how this can be done or have a commandline switch reference that might have the answer?

I'm new to Java but experienced with PL/SQL. I've found what appears to be strange behaviour (a bug?) when attempting to create java stored objects using the UNIX version of Oracle SQL*PLUS 8.1.7.3.0 with JServer 8.1.7.3.0. The reason it seams strange is that the problem only occurs with the UNIX version of SQL*PLUS, not the PC client version running on Windows 2000 but connected to the same database and schema. Can anyone shed any light...

-- The issue This following query works fine on Toad and PowerBuilder yet when it is run on SQLPlus I get: "ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel" When I remove the distinct from the first line (capitalized below) it runs fine on SQLPlus. Is there some flag I need to set in SQLPlus to get this to work properly?

Like in UNIX where you can echo $0 and it gives the name of the script running how do you do a similar thing in SQLPLUS. Is there a set option that can be turned on that will allow the name of the script to be displayed when the script first executes? Regards Christopher
