Sorry Davey, your answer doesn’t cut it : in the link Steve just do a CLEAR BREAKS before and after, and store set just save the SETs , so it is LOSTING the BREAK anterior status , my target is different, : as I said want to SAVE the contents of BREAK and COLUMN, and COMPUTE), then clear it, alter it, and later, AFTER the execution of the script, set the BREAKs contents to EXACTLY whatever it was..... The script you pointed does NOT ....
Besides any clever lateral-programming in sqlplus , the only way I see it really save BREAK command output to fle with SPOOL, as I said, but I really don´t know how to xcut the extra line breaks on it.
