    It changes the subsitution variable indicator to a '~'.

    The default is '&'.

    So without the command, if you try this :

    select 'a & b' from dual;

    you get this :

    enter value for b :

    but after the command, you get this :

    'A&B'
    -----
    a & b

    and now, if you issue

    select 'a ~ b' from dual;

    you get

    enter value for b :

    hth
