sqlplus: SQL*Plus Command Reference
Code:
SET COLSEP {_|text}
 
In iSQL*Plus, SET COLSEP determines the column separator character to be printed between column output 
that is rendered inside tags. HTML table output is the default. To generate preformatted output you must set 
PREFORMAT ON with the SET MARKUP HTML PREFORMAT ON command.
 
Sets the text to be printed between selected columns. If the COLSEP variable contains blanks or punctuation 
characters, you must enclose it with single quotes. The default value for text is a single space.
 
In multi-line rows, the column separator does not print between columns that begin on different lines. The 
column separator does not appear on blank lines produced by BREAK ... SKIP n and does not overwrite the 
record separator. See SET RECSEP in this chapter for more information.
Example
 
To set the column separator to "|" enter
 
SET COLSEP '|'
SELECT LAST_NAME, JOB_ID, DEPARTMENT_ID
FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
WHERE DEPARTMENT_ID = 20;
 
LAST_NAME                |JOB_ID    |DEPARTMENT_ID
-------------------------|----------|-------------
Hartstein                |MK_MAN    |           20
Fay                      |MK_REP    |           20

NAME
ppmtosixel - convert a portable pixmap into DEC sixel format SYNOPSIS
ppmtosixel [-raw] [-margin] [ppmfile] DESCRIPTION
Reads a portable pixmap as input. Produces sixel commands (SIX) as output. The output is formatted for color printing, e.g. for a DEC LJ250 color inkjet printer. If RGB values from the PPM file do not have maxval=100, the RGB values are rescaled. A printer control header and a color assignment table begin the SIX file. Image data is written in a compressed format by default. A printer control footer ends the image file. OPTIONS
-raw If specified, each pixel will be explicitly described in the image file. If -raw is not specified, output will default to com- pressed format in which identical adjacent pixels are replaced by "repeat pixel" commands. A raw file is often an order of magni- tude larger than a compressed file and prints much slower. -margin If -margin is not specified, the image will be start at the left margin (of the window, paper, or whatever). If -margin is speci- fied, a 1.5 inch left margin will offset the image. PRINTING
Generally, sixel files must reach the printer unfiltered. Use the lpr -x option or cat filename > /dev/tty0?. BUGS
Upon rescaling, truncation of the least significant bits of RGB values may result in poor color conversion. If the original PPM maxval was greater than 100, rescaling also reduces the image depth. While the actual RGB values from the ppm file are more or less retained, the color palette of the LJ250 may not match the colors on your screen. This seems to be a printer limitation. SEE ALSO
