CLIENT_HOST might be what you are looking for.

"It's not working" is less than descriptive. What did you exactly do? What is your environment (operating system version)? Where is the batch file located (local disk, application server)? How does your code look like? Where did you put it? What happened when you tested it? Did Oracle respond at all? If so, how? Any error? Which one?

Sounds like there's something wrong with your forms setup:

01041, 00000, "internal error. hostdef extension doesn't exist"
// *Cause: Pointer to hstdef extension in hstdef is null.
// *Action: Report as a bug

I suggest you look the error up on My Oracle Support.

thank you for replaying me sir

Sir
can we direct insert the data without using batch file through the following code? -

HOST('D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\BIN\sqlldr USERID=HRPAY/HRPAY@ORCL CONTROL=E:\DEMO.CTL LOG=E:\DEMO.LOG');

above code is also not working sir and when i am using 'Client_Host' instead of 'Host' it's showing the same error (ora-201, identifier 'client_host' must be declared

i am using same thing with but its working fine here anyway try something else like

u can use either SQL Loader or external Tables. or u have to choosed SQL loader option and created a form along with a control file and batch file based.

Control File

LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\mughals\Pay\Clock Dump\CLK_050611\clock_dump.txt'
INTO TABLE ARS_CLOCK_DUMP
(TDATE	 POSITION(01:08) DATE 'YYYYMMDD',	
VER	 POSITION(09:10) CHAR,
EMPNO	 POSITION(11:15) CHAR,
TTIME	 POSITION(16:19) CHAR,
BRADD	 POSITION(21:22) CHAR
)



Batch file being called from the form

sqlldr userid=mughal/mughal@owais 
       ERRORS=500000  
       control=D:\mughals\Pay\Modified\Forms\ars_clock_dump.ctl
       log=D:\mughals\Pay\Modified\Forms\ars_clock_dump.log

and the above batch files is called from the form using


host('D:\mughals\Pay\Modified\Forms\load_data.bat',no_screen);

With above all the form works perfectly which is the development evironment and also client PC.

-------Other Solution-------when-button-pressed----------------

declare
 usid varchar2(10):= get_application_property(username);
 pwd  varchar2(10):= get_application_property(password);
 db   varchar2(10):= get_application_property(connect_string); 

begin

   v_ctl_file   := text_io.FOPEN(v_live_path||'ars_clock_dump.ctl', 'w'); 
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'LOAD DATA'); 
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'INFILE '''||v_live_path||'clock_dump.txt''');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'INTO TABLE ARS_CLOCK_DUMP');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, '(TDATE	 POSITION(01:08) DATE ''YYYYMMDD'',');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'VER	 POSITION(09:10) CHAR,');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'EMPNO	 POSITION(11:15) CHAR,');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'TTIME	 POSITION(16:19) CHAR,');
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, 'BRADD	 POSITION(21:22) CHAR'); 
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_ctl_file, ')'); 
   text_io.FCLOSE   (v_ctl_file); 
    
   v_bat_file   := text_io.FOPEN(v_live_path||'load_data.bat', 'w'); 
   text_io.PUT_LINE (v_bat_file, 'sqlldr userid  = '|| usid || '/' ||pwd || '@' ||db || ' ERRORS=1000000  control = '|| v_live_path||'ars_clock_dump.ctl log = '|| v_live_path||'ars_clock_dump.log'); 
   text_io.FCLOSE   (v_bat_file); 
		               
   host(v_live_path||'load_data.bat',no_screen);
		    
Exception when others then
        message(sqlerrm||dbms_error_text);
        message(' ');
end;

Presently i am working on all these things which i given detail for u as above

hope it should work for u

Best regards

@mughals_king - host doesn't work in a three tire environment as it runs on the web-server not the client pc.
That's why we told the OP to use client_host instead.

Yes @cookiemonster you are right that's why i suggested him first regarding "clien_host" which i tried and its working fine i am also working on web envi.

CLIENT_HOST('cmd /c rundll32 url.dll,FileProtocolHandler C:\test.bat');

Thanks & Best Regards
