Sets the total number of characters that SQL*Plus displays on one line before beginning a new line.

WINDOW adjusts the linesize and pagesize for the formatted output according to the width and height of the screen. If the output is longer than the screen width, then the output is wrapped accordingly

Example
To set the linesize for the output to 30, enter
SQL> SET LINESIZE 30
SQL> SHOW LINESIZE
linesize 30

To dynamically change the output display after manually resizing the screen, enter

SQL> SET LINESIZE Window
SQL> SHOW LINESIZE
linesize 210 WINDOW

Note:
The SET LINESIZE WINDOW command is ignored in a script and the output will not be displayed according to the screen size.
