RE: Text file from store procedure

You can spool output to the location of your choice in sqlplus. Forms allows you to use a utl_file like procedure called 'text_io' I believe. In 6i the output is written to the client machine, in 9i the results are written to the app server.

Why don't you want to use utl_file? It is designed to create and write text files from PL/SQL blocks.
