I have a problem with utl_file in Oracle 9 on Linux, standard engine....

It does not seem to want to read lines longer than 997 characters. It works
fine if the line is 997 characters or less.

I get a utl_file.write_error exception if the line is longer than 997
charcaters!!!!!!!!!!! Why a write error when I am reading?

I have set the line size in the utl_file.FOPEN and utl_file.read_line to 998


Is this a bug?
 

        original_kic_file_handle :=
utl_file.FOPEN(var_transfer_dir,var_file_name||'.KIC','r',998);
         
   
         utl_file.get_line(original_kic_file_handle,var_current_line,998);
