ORA-00439 error in Forms URGENT.... URGENT.....

Question

Hi,
i have created a new procedure to import a file on the machine to the database BLOB object. the procedure ran succesfully in the SQL prompt. In the Oracle forms builder, I created a new button and on the WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED PL/SQL logic, i pasted the same procedure. But I got ORA-00439 error while running the form and clicked on the button. Could anyone of you help me out? Is that something to do with any restrictions on Forms?
Below is the code that i used in the PL/SQL logic of WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED event.
declare
src_file BFILE; -- source file
dst_file BLOB; -- designation file
lgh_file BINARY_INTEGER; -- file length
pdname VARCHAR2(255) := '/appl/pce/d1/eai/informatica/Temp/';
pfname VARCHAR2(255) := 'router.cfg';
file_readonly CONSTANT BINARY_INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
src_file := bfilename('RNDVPVOUS', pfname);
-- insert a NULL record to lock
INSERT INTO temp1
(name, file_1)
VALUES
(pdname, EMPTY_BLOB())
RETURNING file_1 INTO dst_file;
-- lock record
SELECT file_1
INTO dst_file
FROM temp1
WHERE name = pdname
FOR UPDATE;
-- Open the file
dbms_lob.fileopen(src_file, file_readonly);
-- Determine length
lgh_file := dbms_lob.getlength(src_file);
-- read the file
dbms_lob.loadfromfile(dst_file, src_file, lgh_file);
-- Update the blob field
UPDATE temp1
SET file_1 = dst_file
WHERE name = pdname;
commit;
-- Close file
dbms_lob.fileclose(src_file);
END load_file;
I'm also sending the version details of Forms Builder below.

Thank you very much. This problem is now solved as I have used FORMS_DDL to execute the procedure from database and not from Forms. But could anyone of you tell me if we can have a link in Forms for BLOB object, where if there is a word document in the database BLOB object, by clicking on that link, that document should open in word. Similarly if there is an image file in the BLOB object, then clicking on that link in Forms should open it some Image processing software which that OS has. Is this really possible? Please let me know. If we update the contents of the document opened, they should get reflected in the database BLOB object. Is this really a HERCULIAN task?
