Open download file in new window.

Question

Hi,
I m using oracle 11g and Apex4.0.2 version
Browser IE8.
I m downloading PDF file when a button is pressed.
The code will be
htp.init;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(NVL(L_V_MIME,'application/octet'),FALSE);
owa_util.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE(BLOB_content);
It works fine by opening the pdf file.
But I need the pdf file to be opened in new tab page or in new window.
Is it possible?

vk,
it seems your page process is not triggering or it was not working quite right in the first place.
It should be something lke this:
Name: DOWNLOAD_FILE
Type: PL/SQL anonymous block
Process Point: On Submit - After validations
When Button Pressed: DOWNLOAD
Source
/* if the BLOB content is stored in wwv_flow_files: */
DECLARE
  l_blob_content wwv_flow_files.blob_content%TYPE;
  l_mime_type    wwv_flow_files.mime_type%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT blob_content, mime_type
INTO  l_blob_content, l_mime_type
FROM  wwv_flow_files
WHERE  ... /* how you access your file */
htp.init;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER(NVL(l_mime_type,'application/octet'),FALSE);
owa_util.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.DOWNLOAD_FILE(l_blob_content);
--apex_application.stop_apex_engine;  /* APEX 4.1 and above */
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error:= true;  /*before APEX 4.1 */
END;Jens
