Try the webutil pll [etc] that is available on the OTN website. (This is the 9i/10g version of the d2kwutil pll.)

Hi,

If you want to open any file on command prompt, store that

command in a variable and pass it in host command.

example

declare

x varchar2(50);
begin
x := 'edit abc.txt';

Host(x);
end;

i think it will help

Have a look at http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/WebUtilFAQ.htm and do a 'find' for 'host'. You will see that in the three tier arena there are both 'host' and 'client_host' commands. The prior works on the AS machine, the latter on the client machine.

Try using 'cmd' with the '/K' option.

Hi, aditya

edit window will be opened until you will not closed it.

if your window get closed immediately , that may be you DOS setting or Windows setting.

but in my P.C. it does not closed automatically.

please try on other p.c.

bye and take care
