<p>I have a SQL script that creates a package with a comment containing an ampersand (&amp;). When I run the script from SQL Plus, I am prompted to enter a substitute value for the string starting with &amp;. How do I disable this feature so that SQL Plus ignores the ampersand?</p>

This may work for you:
```
```
set define off
```
```
Otherwise the ampersand needs to be at the end of a string,
```
```
'StackOverflow &' || ' you'
```
```
