[Quoted] Does anybody knows how to read a text file from a local directory in developer 2000/forms. My text file will contain a system variable (i.e. 'ER') and that variable will be assigned into a global variale (i.e :global.range = 'ER')

Also does FORMS OR REPORT have the capability to read the operating system time in a format like this (dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss [PST, PDT, EST, EDT, etc).  I don't :system.current_datetime returns this (dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss) but I want the time zone format as well.

Thanks very much
