UTL_FILE Oracle object

Hello there,

I want to use the UTL_FILE oracle object to open a file, write, and then close it.

But upon opening of the file, I get some errors. Can somebody tell me what is wrong with the next statement:

v_FileHandle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
....

v_FileHandle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:\sql\', 'output.txt', 'w');
...

Is the syntax for opening the file ok?

Any reaction is welcome,
