Hi,

I have this problem. I have to create a text file. I generate the file using Oracle Reports, using function text_io.put_line. This system is run on Linux.

The problem is the text file is supposed to be uploaded to another system, which expecting a DOS text format. It shows error when we tried to upload the text file.

So, I need to know is there anyway I can put the additional character (LF) so that my text file would become DOS text format?

Any other alternative method is welcome, as long as the user doesn't have to open it in an editor and convert to DOS format. As much as possible I want to avoid manual work.

Thanks,

Dapid Candra

A few options come to mind :

1. "Upload" it to the other system using ftp in transfermode ASCII.

2. Use the "unix2dos" comand line tool to convert the file.

3. Put the additional character at the end of the text_io.put_line.

4. Use SED to change CR to CR/LF.

Whichever suits you best. Wink
