Database Export Utility in Oracle Workgroup for Windows / Netware

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for help to run the oracle export utility in Windows in a batch mode bypassing clicking the icons and exiting the user interface. Details as follows....

I tried to invoke the Oracle database export utility in Windows from my program by calling WINEXEC to execute the following command line:                 

   c:\orawin\bin\vsexp.exe system/manager parfile=expcomp.par where expcomp.par file contains the statement:

   full=Y inctype=complete constraints=Y file=expcomp1.dmp.

The database was exported into a binary file with the log window showing the execution process completed successfully. However, the export utility window did not close automatically when the export was completed. I had to manually push on the close button for the window to disappear. I have to avoid this since I need to have the export utility exit automatically so my next process will kick off without any human intervention (in a batch mode).

Do you know of any way I can tell the export utility to exit automatically when it is done so my program knows of export's completion?

I would really appreciate help on this since the Oracle manuals I have are UNIX based describing the use of 'exp ...' on the UNIX command line which cannot be used in the Oracle workgroup 2000 environments.

My internet address is schan_at_ipoline.com. Any hint or tips will be greatly appreciated!!
