Re: how to pick the lastes file using UTL_FILE package ?

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.

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 server's directory !!
could anyone suggest a logic to pick up the the lastest file created in that
dir. ?

TIA 8.1.6 on win2k
