Martin, text_io is a Forms routine for reading and writing text files on the client. The only way I know you could use it to run an rman backup is if you wrote a Forms application to generate an rman backup script and then executed it.

The version of Oracle and the version of Forms in use would be appropriate to aid in getting useful responses.

Also you will find more people familar with FORMS and Report Writer on the comp.databases.oracle.tools board.
