Login to www.oracle.com, register yourself for free and then use the same username/password to access that page.

It would be worth doing for the future also.

Apprently the procedure says that it cannot locate the filepath.
1. Did you create the directories as sys and also give the right persmissions to the calling user? ( As said in docs).
2.
>> 10 log_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('c:report',fname,mo);
Are you sure you have path c:report in an unix machine?

May be we are over complicating things here.
Why not just spool your output and send it as email?

did you create the directory from oracle using "create directory " logged in as SYS?
>>chmod 777 /extract/gopal
These are unnecessary.
Read the link.
REad documentation.

Hi mahesh Rajendran,
The scenario for me is that,
our projects has many trigerrs inbuilt for it, and the error message catched it self returns about 2000 character and also
exceeds more than that,
but standard buffer limits gets spooled up and
that why i want to write it in the file instead of displaying the error which is being catched in the exception.

Whatever it is ( your scenario),
You have only two solutions.
spool the output (clientside only)
or
Use UTL_FILE (serverside only).
Use either one of them.

Hi mahesh,
I have also used
set serveroutput on size 1000000 wrapped;

but still the same error like sql buffer up to 255 chars is being displayed.

Then using the err length and using substr function
i have manually done to display the error, but it is not
wrapped.

is there any solutions exits for it.

Thanks
Gopal

create your own table to hold the errors( with a long column).
Insert the errors into the table (with long column).
query the table.

Try something like this.
THe easiest method is to use UTL_FILE.

  1  declare
  2  code varchar2(30);
  3  err  varchar2(1000);
  4  begin
  5  execute immediate ('drop table NONEXSITENT_TABLE ');
  6  exception
  7   when others then
  8   code:=SQLCODE;
  9   err:=SQLERRM;
 10  insert into errtable values (code,err);
 11* end;
