SET TRUNCATE

Purpose

Controls whether SQL*Plus truncates or wraps a data item that is too long for the current line width.

Syntax

SET TRU[NCATE] {OFF|ON}

Usage Notes

ON functions in the same manner as SET WRAP OFF, and vice versa. You may prefer to use WRAP because the SHOW command recognizes WRAP and does not recognize TRUNCATE.
