Copy and paste your session as I did it.

Before, Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
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.
Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals.

Regards
Michel

I suppose that this is because the OP runs statements in 10g XE's SQL Workshop window. As "SHOW" is a SQL*Plus command, it won't work there. So, either move to classic SQL*Plus, or try with something like
SELECT SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'SESSION_USER') FROM DUAL;

Maybe but the question is clearly "How to find user name in sqlplus", so if OP asks the wrong qurestion he could not expect to get the appropriate answer for the real question. Smile
