From andersob@mail.dartnet.peachnet.edu Wed, 14 Mar 2001 12:24:39 -0800 From: "Anderson, Brian" Date: Wed, 14 Mar 2001 12:24:39 -0800 Subject: RE: problem with UTL_FILE.FILE OPEN Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain I believe * is valid (though I can't find the page in a book right now), though it could be dangerous, utl_file writes as oracle, make sure some duhveloper doesn't overwrite/append to your datafiles. Look at the UTL_FILE.FOPEN commands and verify the paths. lv_log_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('/dir1/dir2/dir3','logfile.dat','A'); **************************************** Brian L.
