What is the error that you are getting? Are you trying to run on the client PC or the Application Server?

Do you know in which directory you are running when you run the host command? Do you know the environment variables that the host command has available to it?

Remember that the host command uses a NEW session.

Of course the 'host' command is available.

In a When-Button-Pressed trigger put something like "host('pwd > /tmp/aaa.txt');", compile and run the form, press the button, and then look in the '/tmp' directory for the file 'aaa.txt' and read it.

You keep saying that it "doesn't perform" and it "doesn't execute" but you don't tell us either what is the failure message or the output text or the script that you are running. Direct the standard and 2 output to files, post your script and post the standard and 2 output.

If you sign on to your Application Server as 'oracle' and go to the directory '/u01/oracle/tmxora/OraPortal_904/forms90' will your script run successfully?
