Im reading from user_source and writing the text of packages to files. Problem is that if i use UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE it adds an extra '/n'(end of line character or space) into the file. since the code itself is stored in the database with an end of line character.

If I use UTL_FILE.PUT or UTL_FILE.PUTF and attempt to write it out after about 700 rows nothing else gets written to the file. So I assumed the buffer filled up, so every 200 rows I flushed the buffer.

Same problem. I even tried opening and closing the file handler. Same problem.

any ideas on how to get around this? I know I can just do a .sql and redirect it to a file in unix, but Id prefer to keep it in the database.
