Hi,

[Quoted] to copy files from CD ROM to local disk I use "host" PL/SQL procedure in a local PL/SQL package of my Forms (4.5.7, Windows 95) application.

Unfortunately, the statement
  host ('xcopy d:\... c:\...');
doesn't do anything and causes my application to hang, while other statements like
  host ('sqlldr72 ...');
seem to run without problems.

Any hints?

Thanks in advance
