    Prb with dbms_output.put_line - urgent

    HEY ALL,

    I am facing prb with the dbms_output.put_line.

    I am writing an SQL procedure and trying to get the output.
    My procedur works fine but the I have prb in displaying the output.

    Here is the problematic code snippet:

    FOR i in 1....lcount LOOP
    if(i=lcount) then
    dbms_output.put_line('The value is' || user_name);
    else
    dbms_output.put_line('The present value is' || user_name || 'and');
    END IF;
    END LOOP;

    Here user_name is a string.

    Now when I execute the procedure for one condition I get the output as:

    The present value is 'User' and
    The value is 'Answer'

    PL/SQL procedure executed succesfully.

    But I want the output as:

    The present value is 'User' and The value is 'Answer'

    Do anyone know how can I print the dbms.output line in one line instead of 2 seperate lines?
    I do not want the else part's dbms output line to print in the next line. I want it in the same line.

    Yes. Issue a single dbms_output.put_line instead of two.

    Hey thanks. But how will I do that?
    I have a condition that when it is inside if loop, I want a statement as 'The value is' and when it is inside else part I want it as 'The value is Usernmae and'. I do not want the 'and' appended for the last condition.
    Can you please tell me how I will do that?

    Let your internal logic build the string you want to spool out then, when you are ready issue a single dbms_output.put_line writing the string.
