I am trying to use the UTL_FILE package on a HP-UX server and I am running into the following problem.
The parameter utl_file_dir contains the path of the file that I am writing into. It is known by Oracle.
The directory referenced utl_file_dir is present and fully writable. ie. the mode is 777.
However, when I a test PLSQL program to open the open a file in the directory and write a few lines into it, I get an INVALID_PATH exception. What could be the cause of this problem.

Thanks in advance for any help
