Upload Download How To

Question

I have followed the Upload and Download Files in an Application How To.
I can upload files into the application but I cannot download.
When I click on the download link, the full URL appears in the address bar at the top of the screen, but the file does not open.
Any ideas

Hi Gus,
I had the same issues after following the upload/download document, and finally after much hunting around i followed the following:
- You need to create the following function in the schema FLOWS_020100,
- the function has to be written in upper case
- and prefixed with the schema the procedure runs in (for example, when you use the function in the schema HR, please change accordingly):
log as system
alter session set current_schema=FLOWS_020100;
create or replace function FLOWS_020100.wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local(procedure_name in varchar2)return boolean
is
begin
if upper(procedure_name) in ('YOUR_SCHEMA.PROCEDURE_NAME') then
return TRUE;
else
return FALSE;
end if;
end wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local;
for more information on this function, follow:

So, the mistake i was making was creating the function without putting FLOWS_020100 before wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local, meaning that the function was created in the schema that i found myself in when creating (System account), and not in FLOWS_020100
It's quite late, but i hope this helps

if you can think of a good synonym for "following", please advise...
