Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Just a note:
I was having trouble getting CLOBS out of an Oracle based P3ec installation. I have found that the following works

(obs_descr is a CLOB)

SELECT substr(to_char(obs_descr),1,200)
FROM ADMUSER.obs obs

Output:
9696776

The entry was 9696776

As you can see it came out in HTML format.
