If you are using Oracle Forms4.5 you can output the data via the BUILT-IN package TEXT_IO. It has all of the necessary procedures to write to a ascii text file.
If you are not using Forms4.5 you might look into calling a PL/SQL procedure that has the DBMS_OUTPUT package procedures like PUT_LINE to output to a file.
Be careful with DBMS_OUTPUT on any server < 7.3. You can only buffer up to 1MB of data and then it gets truncated. Oracle has a bug that prevents you from "flushing" the buffer.
Try TEXT_IO.
