Why are you wasting your time coding from scratch using the PL/SQL Web Toolkit instead of the APEX framework?
From Re: how to write a file using mod pl/sql it appears that you are not using APEX, so a number of the approaches APEX offers are not relevant. You appear to be looking for a file download solution using the <tt>wpg_docload.download_file</tt> method, such as:
create or replace procedure download_file (
    p_filename in     varchar2
, p_mimetype in     varchar2
, p_content   in out nocopy blob)
is
begin
-- Set up HTTP header.
-- Use "application/octet" as default MIME type.
owa_util.mime_header(nvl(p_mimetype, 'application/octet'), false);
-- Set the size so the browser knows how much to download.
htp.p('Content-length: ' || dbms_lob.getlength(p_content));
-- Filename will be used as default by the browser in "Save as..."
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="' || p_filename || '"');
-- Close header.
owa_util.http_header_close();
-- Stream the file content to the browser.
wpg_docload.download_file(p_content);
end download_file;

How to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report?

This thread is a follow-up to {message:id=9191195}. Thanks fac586.
Partial success: The following code provided by fac586 limits the column width of the Apex 4 interactive report column as long as the column data contains whitespace within a Firefox 3.6 browser:
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. The code above is put into the HTML header section for the page.
2. T_DESCRIPTION is defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I tried adding "float: left;":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
<font color="red"> float: left;</font>
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. "float: left;" does not require whitespace and successfully splits the column between characters in lieu of whitespace.
2. "float: left;" shrinks the cell height and allows the page background to show through... couldn't determine how to fix this.
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I've done some more research, but I still haven't discovered how to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report that displays properly within an Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help with this!
<pre class="jive-pre">
what theme are you using?
</pre>
A customized version of theme 15.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Floating a table cell makes no sense (to me anyway).
</pre>
You are correct. I was just trying a different approach ... trying to think out of the box.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Think you'll need to create an example on apex.oracle.com with sample data
if there are any further problems.
</pre>
Great suggestion! The code your provided works in the Firefox 3.6.12 browser, but still doesn't work within my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
UPDATE:
I have recreated the problem at apex.oracle.com, you can use the following information to check it out:
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43543:100::::::
Workspace: IR_FIXED_WIDTH_COLS
Username: GUEST
Password: Thx4help
Application: 43543 - CM_RANDY_SD
Note: Table name is TEST_DATA
The following code provided by fac586 works in both Firefox 3.6 and IE7 using default theme "21. Scarlet" at apex.oracle.com; however, it doesn't work when I use a copy of our customized theme "101. Light Blue":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
max-width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
max-width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>

</pre>
Any idea what in the theme could be causing the fixed width column to be ignored in IE 7?

How to display fixed width column in Advanced Table?

Hi,
This is probably a newbie question for OAF. My requirement is quite simple but I couldn't find the answer in either the OAF developer's guide or anywhere else so I turn to the experts here. I have a region of type Table or Advanced table with three items in them. One of the Item is of type comments which could be up to 4000 characters.
I wanted to show all three on the first page but only have fixed width for the comments section like only show the first 50 characters for example and then if they want to see more detail they can click on a link to see full comments.
The problem is I cannot figure out how to make the comments item fixed width. I have played with the table width properties but it keeps displaying the comments in multiple lines (I don't want that...). I have also tried putting the Table in a Row Layout but it doesn't seem to help.
Since this is new development I can change my region style to anything to meet my requirements.
I hope this is an easy question and if someone can help me that would be great....:-)

Hi,
Thanks but I was not wanting to change the VO attribute length size since I want to have a link on the first page which would enable to see a user the full 4000 comments using the same VO object. Then if I limit it to 50 characters in the VO, I will not be able to display the full comments on the second page.
Isn't there some way in the UI that I can limit it? I know one workaround I can use for now is to have another column in the VO with the 50 character value such as substr(comments, 1, 50) and then have the full comments selected also in the VO and then show this subtr value in the first page and the comments value in the 2nd. I just thought there would be an easier way about it then doing all this workaround.
Any ideas?
Thanks

How to read HTML files using UTL_FILE

Hello Friends,
How to read HTML files using UTL_FILE package ? According
to Oracle documentation UTL_FILE can read or write OS Text Files.
Thanx in advance..
Adi

HI Hareesh,
i have gone through that blog.
i tried it...but i am getting mapping error no receiver determination fond because there are so many excel files.
my data is available on sharedString.xml but also it is in not same order.
i have no clue how to handle this part form the blog.
"This way our mapping will receive all data from the sheet in an XML format. The only thing that's left is to create an XSD file from the XML file we received in order to be able to use it in the mapping and as our Service Interface and we can proceed with mapping. As you can see from the sheet.xml files all the data is placed with column name and row number so it's not that difficult to map it to an table type format using the Message Mapping only (no java, abap mapping required)."

Yes, put your wsdd with your class files. But if you want AdminClient to work correctly, be sure all environement variables are set correctly.

How to write text file in Shockwave?

Does anybody know how to write text file in Shockwave to
user's disk?
Thanks in advance.

Those Xtras can wreak to much havoc when used with the wrong
intent.
What you can do is write with setpref and store a list of
saves and the
saves itself seperatly. Then you'd have to build your own
save/open
dialog to let the user:
* pick a previously saved file to load or overwrite
* have the user type the name of a new file to save.
Only thing that remains is that the user cannot decide where
the files
are saved.

You have to do this your self by either (as vinod said) using a different component (not present in adf) or implementing this:
1) allow the user to select multiple filenames (somehow)
2) zip them together
3) upload the zip
4) unpack the zip on the server
5) work with the files
