I do not know a way to enable DBMS from within a procedure either. The
second item Jared mentions does not seem to set the session to recieve
output. I just ran a check to see and the 'enable' portion of DBMS did not
set the toggle the session for output.
I used this simple script
Begin
dbms_output.enable(10000);
dbms_output.put_line('Jared is wrong!');
end;
/
IF you run this script you will recieve the procedure completed successfully
message. If you the issue a 'set serveroutput on' and run again you will
recieve the output text twice.
If anyone knows how get DBMS to output without the serveroutput option being
explicitly set I would love to hear it.

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
