Spooling generates more records...why [message #373084]

Hi,

I am spooling a table to a flat file. One of the columns is a long field (i.e. varchar2(20000)).

The problem is that if there are any newline characters in the field, spooling generates a new record in the flat file. Example output is below.

Instaed of generating:

"1000034 | 01/01/01 | This is a good time of day"

This is what is actually generated:

"1000034 | 01/01/01 | This is a good
| | of day"

The "|" is the record seperator.
Is there any way of making the spool command ignore newline characters?

Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks

Dave
