Hi Raja,

Faced a similar problem in Oracle 8. We have some blood-sampling machine, which detects all kinds of things in your blood you even don't want to know about (...).

Our solution was:
A college of mine wrote a Delphi program which read the com ports and put the data in text files.
As we never knew when new data was coming, I wrote an Oracle job that executes every 5 minutes. If the program which was executed by the job detected some new data-files, it read them and put the data in the appropriate way in the db itself.

You could of course use a C program and do all the necessary stuff in it.

Happy New-Year!

Search this forum using 'read the com port data'. Other people have tried to do the same thing. They may be able to help you.

But did you find the contact details of the people who asked the questions previously? Contact them and see what they did.

does this version of forms support javabeans? If so, maybe you can find a free or cheap bean to do the work for you. You will have to write some java to make it into a forms pluggable component (or pay someone for it). but after that it should be piece of cake.

Good luck, Kevin

Can you read the file on the PBX machine? Maybe issue an ftp command to get the file from the PBX machine to your machine and then process it.
