Thanks Raj, I knew about dbms_system.ksdwrt to write to trace files or the alert log or both but not these two. I have see from google that kcfrms allows the resetting of IO counters in v$session_event and v$filestat. And KSDFLS is part of the suite of functions to write to the alert log or trace file and flushes any pending output. http://www.oracleadvice.com/Tips/db ms_system_v2.htm gives a good description of the functions in DBMS_SYSTEM.
