Change command delimiter?
Has anyone else noticed the following behavior of the change command? Also, it appears as though the "/' entered on a line by itself does not only execute the contents of the buffer in the case of inputting a PLSQL block, but also appends the "/' character to the last line of the buffer....
SQLcl V4.2.0.16.131.1023
SQL> begin select * from dual; end;
2 /
Error starting at line : 1 in command -
begin select * from dual; end;/
Error report -
ORA-06550: line 1, column 31:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "/" The symbol "/" was ignored.
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:
SQL> l
1* begin select * from dual; end;/
SQL> c.;/..
Error starting at line : 1 in command -
c.;/..
Error report -
Unknown Command
SQL> c!;/!!
Error starting at line : 1 in command -
c!;/!!
Error report -
Unknown Command
SQL> c/;/./
1* begin select * from dual. end;/
SQL>
So it looks like the only acceptable delimiter is "/" though the SQL*Plus definition of the change command is:
C[HANGE] sepcharold [sepchar [new [sepchar]]] Changes the first occurrence of the specified text on the current line in the buffer. The buffer has no command history list and does not record SQL*Plus commands. Terms sepchar Represents any non-alphanumeric character such as "/" or "!". Use a sepchar that does not appear in old or new.
Thanks,
