@ command does not work in SQL PLUS (OS HP-unix)

I have a sql file (abc.sql) which contains some code. I am able to run this using "run" command as

SQL> run abc.sql
  1* select 1 from dual

         1

SQL>

But not able开发者_开发知识库 to execute using "@" command. If i execute using @ it just return to the SQL prompt without executing this file.

SQL>  @abc.sql
SQL>
SQL>

Could you please help me in resolving this issue?

FYI, I m using Oracle 8.1.7.4.0 on HP-unix (Tru64 UNIX V5.1B (Rev. 2650)

run does not execute a file's content. Rather, it runs the content of the buffer.

The docu ( http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/ch_twelve037.htm#sthref1803 ) says

R[UN]

Lists and executes the SQL command or PL/SQL block currently stored in the SQL buffer.

The buffer has no command history list and does not record SQL*Plus commands.

Usage

RUN causes the last line of the SQL buffer to become the current line.

The slash command (/) functions similarly to RUN, but does not list the command in the SQL buffer on your screen. The SQL buffer always contains the last SQL statement or PL/SQL block entered.

---

You are probably misstaking run for the start command.

within your file do have

select 1 from dual
/

you need to tell the sql engine to execute the line (/)

Edit

after the @ type in "EDIT" and see what the buffer says:

SQL> @a.sql

         1
----------
         1

SQL> ed
Wrote file afiedt.buf

...

select 1 from dual
/
