Ok...here's the deal. I've discovered that FILE_UTL won't do what I need which is to write a client-side file.

I'm trying to use TEXT_IO in my PL/SQL script and on both my PC and Unix node I receive the following error:

  vFileHandle text_io.FILE_TYPE; -- Output file

              *
ERROR at line 3:

ORA-06550: line 3, column 15:
PLS-00201: identifier 'TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE' must be declared
ORA-06550: line 3, column 15:

PL/SQL: Item ignored

My database runs on a Sun node (Oracle 8.0.4). I have D2K loaded on my PC and am running SQL*Plus 8.0.

I've also tried running this on my Unix node with the same result.

How do I make TEXT_IO "known" ?

Much thanx! Received on Thu Jan 20 2000 - 17:51:30 CET
