Dear All;

I am facing one problem we used to copy any document and for open any document in WINDOWS

Host('CMD /C COPY '||'"'||:Old_Doc||'"'||' X:\03\03\'||:New_Doc);
Client_Host('Cmd /C Start '||'X:\03\03\'||:New_Doc);

One Linux equivalent to the Windows "start" would be xdg-open

I wouldn't have a clue how to do it in linux.
Point is this isn't really a forms question - you're issuing instructions to the server. You need to know what the correct commands for linux are - nothing to do with forms.

Well. You run a "host" command and a "client host" command. Both on Windows as it seems.

You seem to have a mapped network drive drive X: shared by the client and the host.

Basically the "linux equivalent" of those commands, substituting the shared drive X: with a shared NFS mounted directory /mnt/shared should be:

Host('cp '||'"'||:Old_Doc||'"'||' /mnt/shared/'||:New_Doc);
Client_Host('xdg-open '||'/mnt/shared/'||:New_Doc);

What do you mean by "open like a DOS mode Linux"?

It appears that Zahid doesn't know how to use Linux. The real question is: "how to copy a file using Linux's command prompt"? So this is not really a Forms question. Once Zahid learns how to copy a file in Linux, he'll just use that command in Forms HOST built-in.

You should probably ask that question in one of Linux forums, not Oracle-related one (such as OraFAQ is).
