Group,
Is there anyway to execute a system level command from within a stored procedure and also get a return code back ie. A) did some prep on a partitioned table

                              B) used utl_file to unload some new data from
remote location
                              C) NOW I want to run SQLLDR - direct path,
NORECOVERY
                              D) continue with my stored procedure

TIA Al Rusnak
