Can you run the following script and show us the output:
column value format a40
select value from v$parameter where name like 'utl_file%';
declare
g_invalid_path_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'INVALID_PATH: File location or filename was invalid.';
g_invalid_mode_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'INVALID_MODE: The open_mode parameter in FOPEN was invalid.';
g_invalid_filehandle_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'INVALID_FILEHANDLE: The file handle was invalid.';
g_invalid_operation_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'INVALID_OPERATION: The file could not be opened or operated on as requested.';
g_read_error_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'READ_ERROR: An operating system error occurred during the read operation.';
g_write_error_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'WRITE_ERROR: An operating system error occurred during the write operation.';
g_internal_error_msg constant varchar2(255) default
'INTERNAL_ERROR: An unspecified error in PL/SQL.';
l_output utl_file.file_type; begin
l_output := utl_file.fopen( '/tmp', 'foo.txt', 'w' );
utl_file.fclose( l_output );
exception
when utl_file.invalid_path then
raise_application_error(-20001,g_invalid_path_msg);
when utl_file.invalid_mode then
raise_application_error(-20002,g_invalid_mode_msg);
when utl_file.invalid_filehandle then
raise_application_error(-20002,g_invalid_filehandle_msg);
when utl_file.invalid_operation then
raise_application_error(-20003,g_invalid_operation_msg);
when utl_file.read_error then
raise_application_error(-20004,g_read_error_msg);
when utl_file.write_error then
raise_application_error(-20005,g_write_error_msg);
when utl_file.internal_error then
raise_application_error(-20006,g_internal_error_msg);
end;
On my solaris/7.3.4 combo i get:
SQL> @uf
VALUE
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
show it working...
