> Hi,

> I'm having some difficulty using UTL_FILE to write some records out to a
> pipe delimited flat file. The file is opened correctly and the first row
> is written to the file. The loop continues and after the second fetch the
> script bombs with a UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR. I have tested the cursor SQL and
> it is extracting many rows (248) to be exact. The init.ora has the correct
> entry and the database has been bounced and, since the file is being
> written to at least once I'm assuming the UTL_FILE requirements are being
> met. Any ideas?

           re-open. On Sundays it will completely refresh the entire
           list of job postings.
