Carriage return or line feed issues

I keep running into the same problem with the following script. Every time it prints the carrage (line feed) char when I test. I believe that the issue is in the group by but I do not see it. The code is as follows.

Hi.

It prints a carriage return where? Can you define your problem more specifically, and say why you think it happens in the group by clause?

Otherwise, plan B...

You've posted a lot of code and it would help if you could now post the DDL of the tables you've used:

i.e, the result of:

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE', tabs.TABLE_NAME)
FROM USER_TABLES tabs
WHERE tabs.TABLE_NAME in ('period_hierarchy_id', '...', '...' );

so that I at least don't have to spend my weekend creating all this stuff! (ideally uploading an export (with or without data) would be perfect!)

Can you also say what values I should give to the && prompts that you are using?

And also anything else you think may be relevant!
