Is anyone out there even using Oracle's Software Packager? I am trying to do something very simple but it is not working.

I am trying to set the Target location to copy some files to by using the value entered by the user in a dialog box. The component is set as a non Oracle Home component. The sample in the documentation does not seem to work.

I created a variable Fred_Home and a dialog to prompt for the location with a default of C:\Fred.

However, when I try to put

return Fred_Home;

in the Calculation tab for PROD_HOME, I get the message Fred_Home can not be referenced.

If I hardcode the value like so

'return "C:\Fred";'

it copies the files to that location just fine.

Of course, this is not how the documentation says to do it. I should just be able to put Fred_Home in there without any other syntax.

So, what gives?

If someone has a sample component I can peruse, I would greatly appreciate it. The samples on OTN are gone...

Thanks
