Re: Dos commands in Forms 4.5

1. You will not receive a compile time error because the compiler does not compile anything in ' '. As far as its aware, the host command is fine.
2. When you do a host, the default directory is your <orahome>/bin (i think) You need to pass in the pathname of filea and fileb e,g host('copy c:\temp\filea c:\windows\temp\fileb', no_screen);
