Hi
Here is a exemple of how you can write in a file. If you try to open a file in W mode and the file does not exist, then it's create by the pl/sql.
To use this code you have to set the utl_file_dir parameter in your init<sid>.ora file.
DECLARE
f_id1 utl_file.file_type;
arg1 VARCHAR2(20);
arg2 VARCHAR2(20);
arg3 VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
arg1 := 'test';
arg2 := 'testing';
arg3 := 'and testing';
f_id1 := utl_file.fopen('C:Test','test.doc','w');
IF (utl_file.is_open(f_id1)) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('working!');
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('not working!');
END IF;
utl_file.put_line(f_id1, arg1);
utl_file.put_line(f_id1, arg2);
utl_file.put_line(f_id1, arg3);
utl_file.fclose(f_id1);
EXCEPTION
WHEN utl_file.invalid_path THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Wrong way!');
WHEN utl_file.INVALID_MODE THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid mode!');
WHEN utl_file.INVALID_operation THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Invalid operation!');
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
dbms_output.put_line('No data found!');
WHEN utl_file.invalid_filehandle THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Wrong file');
WHEN utl_file.write_error THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Write error!');
WHEN utl_file.read_error THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Read erro!');
WHEN utl_file.internal_error THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Pl/sql error!');
END;
Hope this will help you.
