Re: Operating system commands from within Forms 5.

Try to use HOST built-in:

Description:
  Executes an indicated operating system command. Syntax:
  PROCEDURE HOST
    (system_command_string VARCHAR2);   PROCEDURE HOST
    (system_command_string VARCHAR2,
     screen_action NUMBER);

I hope this will help you.
