hi,
I am trying to do some column formating for the following table (egs emp)
I have a script as

begin
col empid a(4);
col empname a(30);
col deptno 9999;
end;

i am getting the following err
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-06550: line 2, column 5:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "empid" when expecting one of the
following:
:= . ( @ % ;

Can I use this script for column formating ,when ever I need it
or exclucively set it?

Please advise
