ok, I have tried this sample in the way :
-----------------------------------------------------------------
create or replace procedure PrintTest(I_ROWS IN number)
is
i_CountedRows number(6);
fHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
begin
fHandle:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:\','lpt1','w',255);
i_CountedRows:=0;
While i_CountedRows <= I_ROWS LOOP
UTL_FILE.Put_Line(fHandle,to_char(i_CountedRows));
i_CountedRows:=i_CountedRows+1;
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.fClose(fHandle);
END;
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The only thing that is done : creating a file lpt1 in c:\ and store it.
I have tried several combinations like
fHandle:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:\','lpt1','w',255)
fHandle:=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('lpt1:','','w',255)
etc........
Nothing :-(
I am on NT4 / Oracle 8.0.6
