Hello Guys,

I am facing a problem with SQL*PLUS generated file output.

Here is the situation:

Correct file size should be: 64,905 KB (i.e. 624,221 rows from the query)

But I am getting abnormal file size: 3,049,286 KB !!

And when I try to open my Texpad is says :

TexPad message: Disk full while accessing C:\sample_data\AHCA_RX_11092007_Q3.txt

What could be wrong?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Here is file configuration:



SET ECHO OFF
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 1000000
SET LINE 5000
SET VERIFY OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0

col filename1 new_value filename1

select DISTINCT 'AHCA_RX_'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'MMDDYYYY')||'_Q'||(TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'Q') - 1)||'.txt' filename1 from dual;

spool  c:\pharm_data\&filename1


.......And my code goes here.................



SPOOL OFF

SET LINE 5000

Each line is 5000 characters long.

Use TRIMSPOOL ON

Further to Michel's post:

624,221 rows x ( 5000 bytes + CR + LF ) = 3,049,173Kb

But, hm, Michel said that 4 days ago. Did he use invisible ink which faded away? Smile

So he did - I completely missed that the first time round. Saw the Linesize comment, missed the rest of it.

I need more sleep.
