I have a dos program that gives me output nicely using the database files
stored in the samefolder where executable dos file is.
Now I am trying to execute this dosprogram from Oracle forms by using host
procedure. The procedure does call the dos program but it gives error. It is
not able to find database files that islying in the same folder. It gives
error that the needed data files are not in the same folder, where as they
are
there. In dos environment the program still runs fine. How to solve this
problem?
Please advise.
Thanks
Sanjay
