Thanks Alexander. I wasn't aware of this new feature. It will certainly make my script much simpler.

I had been looking through some old emails yesterday. The thread was on September 17 & 18, 2002. If you are interested, go to Google and enter Oracle-l "backup controlfile to trace". Elegant solutions were posted by Waleed Khedr, Richard Markham, and Ron Thomas. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc. [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----Original Message----- Sent: Wednesday, January 21, 2004 11:19 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Unless I am hallucinating (always a distinct possibility), there was a recent discussion on this list about the trace file location when you perform an ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE, with some ingenious solutions. I didn't think I'd need this, so deleted the postings. Well, guess what I need that. Could someone who saved some of these forward me the date and subject? Do it privately to avoid clogging the bandwidth. Thanks. Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
