Site Message For Toad
When I try to insert a value which has '&' in TOAD I get a prompt for a substitution variable.
Refer to our Web site for regional and international office information. History and Compatibility of Toad and Oracle. Message Action.
So when I try:
it throws a prompt for substituting the variable 'world'.
I have tried right clicking in the editor and disabling prompt for substitution variables but this seems to work only for Execute Statement (F9) It doesn't work for Execute as script(F5).
I am also aware of using chr(38) like:
but I do not want this.Is there something else that will help me run the script?
Watch the office season 4. It's Season 4 and there are lots of changes at the office. Former temp Ryan is now everyone's boss and is pushing a new website initiative that threatens to upset.

Try putting set define off at the beginning of your script. It should work with F5:
set define off doesn't work in TOAD just in sqlplus.

You can disable substitution variable support by right-clicking in the Editor andunchecking the “Prompt for Substitution Variables” item. It works with F9 execution but not with F5 (script) execution.With F5 you need to add 'set define off' in the first line then launch with F5!!(hope this help it was very hard to find for me)
