I'm assuming you using SQL*Plus... in that case, you probably should do some things before running the query:
SET HEADING OFF;
SET PAGESIZE 100;
SET LONG 10000;
Then,
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl( ....
The problem is the output is a long data type and by default long data output is limited to (I think) the first 100 characters....

I would use one of the Oracle packages...
DMBS_METADATA
So, you could do this:
SQL> spool ddl_script.sql
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl( 'TABLE', 'DEPT', 'SCOTT') FROM dual;
SQL> spool off;
If you want all the tables in a schema:
SQL> SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl( 'TABLE', table_name, user) FROM user_tables;
