Rahul - Just a thought here. This would be a simple task in Unix. One idea would be to take a look at the Unix/Posix type interface packages. Another thought would be to ask this question on a W2K forum. Dennis Williams

list, the requirement is to use the UTL_FILE package on the server side to open and process the files as they are created (each hour) in a server's directory !!
could anyone suggest a logic to pick up the the lastest file created in that dir. ?

TIA 8.1.6 on win2k
