Using utl files putf function
hi
i want to display the words like this in an .csv file
Top 10 PCs - Good File : abc_ 20071224_051559
Report Date: 12/24/2007
purchase_Code,count
i want the above three lines to be in a single column in excel file
but it is giving in three rows
i used the below utl_file format for the same
UTL_FILE.PUTF
(deltaHandle,'Top 10 PCs - Good File : abc_ %s\nReport Date: %s\nPurchase_Code,count %s\n',
dateprefix,
rpt_date);
how to achieve my result
(note: i want in the same format like
Top 10 PCs - Good File : abc_ 20071224_051559
Report Date: 12/24/2007
purchase_Code,count
but all in the same cell)
suggestions welcome
Try to conclude your text string into double quotes.
e.g.
UTL_FILE.PUTF
(deltaHandle,'"Top 10 PCs - Good File : abc_ %s\nReport Date: %s\nPurchase_Code,count %s"\n',
dateprefix,
rpt_date);

Getting error while using UTL files
hi All,
I'm getting following error -
ORA-29282: invalid file ID ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 774 ORA-06512: at "IMPORT_NEW", line 781 ORA-01722: invalid number
To used UTL i have done following steps -
1. created directory
2. grant read, write to that directory from sys
but every time I'm getting above error.
Can any one tell me, where am I going wrong?
Subirhere is the basic code...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE import_new

Getting INVALID_OPERATION while using UTL file
Hi,
I have a procedure which makes different UTL files i.e data file, error file and log file for a Purchase order. These 3 sets of files are made for every purchase order.
So suppose in a cursor i find that there are 10 Purchase orders to process, then it should create 30 UTL files 10 sets of 3 files.
But when i run this procedure, after processing 3 PO's i.e after creating 9 files i get INVALID_OPERATION error.
So lets say i have 10 PO's 1 to 10 , i run for first time PO 1,2 and 3 utl files are created and then i get error. Then when i run it again processes PO number 4 to 6 and then again error...
So i want to know is there any restriction on number of UTL files you can create in a single procedure. i want urgent help, appreciate ur quick replies on this matter.
thanks,
DipinHi,
There could be several reasons for this...
1. In inti ora file, what utl file directory was specified? is it 'C:\PLXML\DBDOM'? if not check.
2. Do u have C:\PLXML\DBDOM\Testfile.txt in your directory?
3. If you have above file in that directory and you have opened that file for writing purpose, close that.
Ur program looks ok. Also, dbms_output.put_line will display 255 charcters only(at least in 7.3).
Koti.

Hi ,
i have a flat file (ffile,txt) like this in unix sserver(i know the dir ):
No:100,200,300.
Name:dan,bob,greg.
Dep:IT,BT,MAN,CT.
every line was ended with Dot(.) for line separation.
I want a cursor like this select * from emp where eno IN( '100','200','300') and ename IN ('dan','bob',greg') AND Dept IN('IT','BT','MAN','CT');
i opened a file likethis

any body plz help me for build a cursor.

satyaAfter re-read your question I think I got a solution with UTL_FILE, I think I didn't understood the question at the beginning.
Here is a small example, but you need to change it to your needs:

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.I think the complicated part for that is the VAR INLIST, you can user Tom's function examples if you don't want to use the long query option, like in your case you will be using several of them.

Problem Loading Data Using UTL File Package
Hi Friends..
My Database is Oracle 10gR2 and OS is WINDOWS.
I have one excel file which contains 10 fields.
My requirement is to Load data from 1 excel file into two tables..
tables are master and detail
Below are sample data and structure for it..
Excel file format
TEST.CSV
Srno Empno Empname City Challanno challandate Materialno materialname Materialqty Materialcost
1 232 raj Hyderabad 533 20/04/2010 11 abc 34 10
1 232 raj Hyderabad 533 20/04/2010 12 aa 4 110
1 231 ram Baroda 533 20/04/2010 14 abcd 33 210
Master table
empno
Challanno
challandate
Detail table
empno
materialno
materialname
materialqty
materialcost
My question is ..While reading 1st line if its empno is new then record is entered in master table for the first time and remaining records of same empno is entered in detail table.. now when empno no changes then new entry is done in master table and associated records are entered in detail table..
So in this case for empno 232 master table would have
232,533,20/4/2010
Detail table for empno 232 would now have 2 records..
232,11,abc,34,10
232,12,aa,4,110
I am using UTL_FILE package to achieve this as the file is on server...

I've been computer programming for 28 years (jeez has it really been that long :D ), so I wouldn't be telling you that you're doing it the wrong way without knowing that there are better ways to do it and you're asking for the wrong way. Speak with your boss, tell him that you've been recommended to use External Tables instead because they're the right way to read such data and UTL_FILE is not the right approach. -
Using UTL file in 10g Express Edition
Hi,
I have the 10g express edition and am trying to use the utl_file package.
I have a sample script from the pl/sql oracle course that i am using to get to grips with it, however on running it i get the following error message
4/14 PL/SQL: Item ignored
4/14 PLS-00201: identifier 'UTL_FILE' must be declared
the script is copied to the letter so i know its correct.
I have added the line "UTL_FILE_DIR=*" to the init.ora file.
I have seen some other posts that suggest its not supported on the 10gXE edition.
Is this true?? If not, how can i get it work?
Thanks in advance.Really?? cool. How do i grant privieges to it.
I have tried grant execute on utl_file and i get the no table error.
am assuming its a different syntax?

Very poor implementation.
a) Absolutely no need for that exception handler in there. It should be removed.
b) As it's a procedure for logging exceptions relating to UTL_FILE, it would seem error prone to be logging the errors with UTL_FILE. For example, what is it supposed to do if the exception is raised because of lack of disk space in those file locations? How is it going to write out the exception with the disk full? Also, if the exception handler is used by multiple processes, then only 1 process at a time can access the log file to write it's exceptions, so it doesn't scale well. Better logging is done by having an autonomous transaction procedure that writes log/trace messages to dedicated table(s). That also means that the logs etc. can be viewed, as appropriate, from any client using SQL (either manually or through a application written to view logs etc.), rather than requiring physical/remote access to the server o/s to go and view the contents of the file, which in itself could lock the file and prevent any process from writing further logs whilst it's being used. -
hai all,
I have to develop a report using utl file.
Like when the report is given a parameter some four columns are displayed, at the same time i want to write the data in a text file in the server path /usr/tmp.
used formula column for utl file open , putline etc.
While running i am getting the error
REP-1401:'cf_1formula', Fatal PL/SQL error occured.
ORA-00600:internal error code , argument :[kghal02],[oxo],[],[],[],[],[]
can anyone suggest me a solution for this or there is any other solution for using utl file in oracle reports.
I am in urgent need of it.
Thamks and regards,
aadityaMake sure that the directory you use with UTL_FILE is writable. For example, if you use /abc/xyz, then both directories (abc and xyz) should be writable.

Cretaion of UTL.File in Oracle 10G and directory entry in Ora.ini file
Hi,
Kindly advise me if:
(!) we can create a directory and log file in this directory on some other server instead of creating it in the file system of the server where the Oracle 10G database is residing?
Created directory in Oracle using create or replace directory command.
My package will be creating a log file using UTL.File in the above directory.
I want to create this directory on some other server to save my log file/s. Is this possible?
(2) Also, let me know in Oracle 10G, do we need to add the directory entry (mention above in #1) in the Ora.ini file on the Oracle 10G server?Hi,
1) utl_dir are different from directory object
2) you cannot create directory on remote server and there is no need to write directory entry on oracle init file (not ini..)

Hi,
I am using UTL file to export records from table with fixed delimiter to a text file.
It works fine except that I see an additional character @ at the end of the file in the last line.
Can anyone let me know why are we getting this and how can we delete it..
Thaks in advance..I assume, as you are saying you can see the file ok in notepad/wordpad that you are creating a text file.
So a) what are you using to view the file in unix and b) how did you transfer the file to unix?
When you transfer files from Windows/DOS based operating systems to unix based operating systems you have to be aware that Windows uses a CR/LF pair of characters to terminate a line (a 'newline') and unix just uses a single LF character (character 10 in the ascii table) to terminate a line. So when you transfer the files you need to convert the CR/LF pairs into just LF characters.
Typically this is done if you transfer the files using FTP and specify the 'mode' to be ASCII rather than BINARY.
c:\>ftp testserver
Connected to testserver.mycompany.com.
220 sunny2 FTP server ready.
User (testserver.mycompany.com:(none)): myuser
331 Password required for myuser.
Password:
230 User myuser logged in.
ftp> ascii
200 Type set to A.
ftp>
This tells the FTP software that you are transferring text files and that it needs to convert newline characters, if necessary, when transferring between Windows and Unix operating systems.
And for reference, if it's not a text file, then you must transfer in BINARY mode to ensure the files remain byte for byte the same...
ftp> bin
200 Type set to I.
ftp>
If you don't transfer text files, between different operating systems, in ASCII mode, then those files will either be missing characters or have additional characters that aren't wanted.

Is there a delay due to holidays?
I forwarded my mac.com published site to a personal domain name I purchased (through go daddy) and was given the usual "it takes 48 hours to process", but that was on 12/24. It is now 12/27. Does the Christmas holiday affect the 48 hours? I have done

Custom new tab page, tiles and redundant searchbar
I have used the custom new tab add-on for a long time. 4x4 tiles, no search bar, custom background... It was great. A million times better than the standard crap they give you. Since the last update I'm stuck with the standard new-tab page, which I h
