sqlplus spooling: How to get rid of first, empty line?
I'm doing the following spooling statement: SET VERIFY OFF SET FEEDBACK OFF SET HEADING OFF SET TRIMSPOOL ON SET TERM OFF SPOOL &pathRelations START scripts/relations.sql &parent SPOOL OFF SET TERM ON The scripts/relations.sql file contains a simple select statement. Unfortunately, the spooled file contains an empty line as the first one in the file. This line causes trouble in our framework. Of course I could get rid of these line through sed but ain't there a way to suppress its creation in the first place? Tagar SET NEWPAGE NONE is the correct answer. SET NEWPAGE 0 will cause a page feed,
