Thanks to all of you for the assistance.
I have the package working by coding the directory into the
utl_file.fopen command and the files are being created okay. I got the
batch procedure to work with the SQLLDR command( I did not know you had
to set noon and each line starts with a $). It works okay as a database.
It takes 5 min 48 sec to load 20 different tables with a total of 178000
rows.
When I get the database up to date the developers will test their
applications and I will start making the production server.
Thanks,
Ron

i believe its
utl_file_dir=dir1,dir2,dir3,...
in your example, dir 3 would be the only valid dir.

Make sure you have the directory name entry covered in INIT.ORA
e.g.
utl_file_dir = D:\directory name1
utl_file_dir = D:\directory name2
utl_file_dir = D:\directory name3
You need one entry per directory that you want to write to using
UTL_FILE
Package
Hope this helps

List,
I have a package that creates files on the server. The directory
location and file name are obtained from tables in oracle. The
procedure
works as designed on Novell 7.3.4 and no changes were needed when the
database way loaded on Linux Oracle 8.1.7. I am trying to move the
database from the Novell to an OPENVMS Oracle 8.1.7 server and I can't
get the package to write the files to the OS directory.
The package is created by the Oracle user DTSUSER and executed by
DTSUSER. There is no OPENVMS user DTSUSER.
The sysadmin assures me that the permissions are correct to write to
the directory.
I have place a Dbms_output in the package to display the directory
information and it looks correct.
Is there anything different that has to be done to an OPENVMS server
that will allow a package to write to a directory using the Utl_File
package?
Listing from the Oracle tables:

Thanks, Any assistance would be appreciated. I am just getting in to
