1. there isn't a host command in PL/SQL.  Read up on external
procedures for this.  You need to be painfully aware of the 
security implications of this.  You need to ask yourself if this
is really necessary.  If so, you can write external procs in
Java, C, or even Perl ( that last one isn't well documented... yet )


2. DBMS_OUTPUT:  read up on the docs for it. there's a 
built in procedure for this, dbms_output.enable.

Hello,

How I can i issue host commands from within a PL/SQL block in 8i(8.1.7) ??
Also is there a way to issue set serveroutput on from within a stored 
procedure so that when someone run the stored procedure, the stored 
procedure output will be seen even if the person forgot to set 
serveroutput 
on for their sql*plus session ??

TIA

K
