Title: RE: how to pick the lastes file using UTL_FILE package ?
Rahul, here is how you'd do it on a Unix box: ls -t|line
ls -t would give you a list of files most recent first, then the line command would give
you back the first filename only. In 2K the first part of that is DIR /O:-D

list, the requirement is to use the UTL_FILE
package on the server side to
open and process the files as they are created
(each hour) in a
1. Run a Cron Job that every Hour Runs the Ls command with the necessary
switches to sort the file listing by the date and redirect the filename to a
Flat file.
2. Run a Job In Oracle that will open that particular file and read the
contents of that file and open the file mentioned therein.
Rahul - Just a thought here. This would be a simple task in Unix. One idea
would be to take a look at the Unix/Posix type interface packages. Another
thought would be to ask this question on a W2K forum.

Rahul,
This isn't exactly what you're asking but,
If OEM is set up:
You can use the intelligent agent on win2k.
Write a script that identifies the file and then calls the PL/SQL
procedure.
Schedule the job in OEM.

Well,
in that case use loader to process the file into a tmptable, and
forget UTL_FILE.
