my prog looks like this (utl_file_dir=* is present in initSID.ora file): DECLARE fileHandler UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE; BEGIN dbms_output.put_line('1'); fileHandler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/users/vijay', 'myoutput.lst', 'W'); dbms_output.put_line('2'); UTL_FILE.PUTF(fileHandler, 'hai vijay \n'); UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fileHandler); EXCEPTION WHEN utl_file.invalid_path THEN raise_application_error(-20000, 'ERROR: Invalid path for file.'); END;
and when i am running this script i am getting a message like this: 1 DECLARE * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06510: PL/SQL: unhandled user-defined exception ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 101 ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 157 ORA-06512: at line 5 what can be the problem... regards, vijay -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Vijaya Chander V.S INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
