Question

I am an Oracle developer running oracle 9i Db and oracle 9iAs
using Jinititor on my browser.
I am trying to get a form to run Local Host commands. I have downloaded
host.jar from Oracle and have certified and checked that is certified
using the Java Console.
When i try to execute a host command, say dir c: or start notepad,
the error message
java.io.ioexception create process error = 2 always comes up.
i am trying to find out what error 2 means and finding very difficult
to discover so that i can try and resolve my problem.
So, what is error 2 and how can i resolve it ??
any hints/help would be appreciated

To execute a dos command from java you must use a batch file or something like this:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c <your command>");
