unnecessary linefeed

Hello All,

I use utl_file to produce a "relative" file for UNIX. This file has to maintain the following characteristic:

• absolutely no linefeed at all

The problem I first came across was that I had to close the file and re-open again with append after every 32768 bytes, otherwise Oracle sent me an exception when I wanted to close the file. This is not a problem. The problem is, that after every utl_file.fclose a linefeed is appended to the file. I use utl_file.put to write the data between fopen and fclose and I never send any linefeed out.

Any ideas how to change this? Currently I am seriously thinking to abandon utl_file and use Java to do the filewriting, the only pain being that the package is already ready and I am not a Java expert.

Running on 8.1.7.4 and 8.1.7.2

Cheers,
