Has anyone had the HOST command in SQL*Forms hang? We have a PL/SQL
procedure that uses the HOST command to call runrep to create a
report in /tmp. After the HOST command returns a user exit is called to
do further processing on the temporary file.
Sometimes (but not always), however, the HOST command hangs and the user
exit is never called. We have not been able to pin down the exact
circumstances under which the HOST command will hang.
This occurs on Oracle 7.1, Forms 3.0, Menu 5.0 and SunOS 4.1.3.
Suggestions anyone?
