Hi,

I have a requirement to :
1) at the click of button, some data will be written to XML file and after writting to file, it should get saved to some location on local machine(c:\temp), without asking user, where to save.

How to do this in oracle form?

Also is it possible to read file from local machine?

Hi,

if you are using WEB_FORMS
- use the WEBUTIL-Package ( Install it before)
Search-Words:
myfile:= client_text_io.fopen/.. put_line/.. fclose

if you FORMS are running in Client-Server Mode
- use: text_io.fopen/.. put_line/.. fclose

You can use 'webutil' / 'd2kwutil' to get the name of the 'temp' directory and save to it.

gregor and David,
Thanks to both of you.

In short I will have to use WebUTIL. I am working on Oracle apps E-buisiness suite 11i, which uses 9i DB. Its a 3-tier architecture.

Can I use webutil there? specially with forms 6i. Some people says we can use webutil with forms 6i..

If you think I can use webutil to save file to particular location on local machine, then can you please share approximate code for that...

Forms 6i uses 'd2kwutil'. For 'text_io' and 'utl_file' examples go to "Oracle® Database, PL/SQL Packages and Types Reference, 10g Release 2 (10.2), B14258-01" by googling "B14258-01".

attached an example using "text_io"
replace all "text_io"-calls with "CLIENT_text_io".
( don't forget to attach webutil.pll, before compile)

Gentlemen, I couldn't try packages told by you.
I am working on oracle apps EBS and for security reasons it doesn't allow to store and read file on local machine. I asked client to store files on server and I am reading and storing using UTL_FILE.

Anyway, Thanks for you help.

Hi every body,
Is it possible to save the report, pdf format, locally without using webutil package.
Another problem, i'd like to use webutil package but my version is 10g 10.1.2.0.2, i didn't have metalink account to upgrade it, indeed if i'd like to read some excel format and to store it into my table.
Thanks.

I used Webutil in 10.1.2.0.2 and I am pretty sure I used it in 9i Forms too.
