Can you explain your question, I have to admit I understant nothing of what you know and what you want to know.

Maybe you will find the answer in documentation? SQL*PlusĀ® User's Guide and Reference

Thanks.

My question here is, when to set serveroutput in sqlplus tool?

When running SQL query or running procedure ??

Now i think from the link you provided and the answer from Cookie , i understood that
this can be used at the time of running the procedure .

Perhaps you'll get the (basic) idea by seeing this tiny example: first, create a (PL/SQL) procedure which is supposed to say "Hello":
SQL> create procedure prc_print is
  2  begin
  3    dbms_output.put_line('Hello!');
  4  end;
  5  /

Procedure created.

Execute it (note that no other settings have been done):
SQL> exec prc_print;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
It has completed, but - nothing had happened (no "Hello" message).

Now set serveroutput on and execute the procedure once again:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> exec prc_print;
Hello!

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
See? "Hello" is now here.

I set it "set serveroutput on size 1000000" in Unix Server
where the database is located
/b_dados/oracle8i/product/8.1.7/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql

But when I display "show serveroutput" shows "OFF" ???

SQL> show serveroutput
serveroutput OFF
SQL>

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste your session, the WHOLE session.

Before, Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
