VMS, create directory and the chamber of secrets

Question

Ok, here I am bumbling around in the dark. Here is the scenario I am developing an application using PL/SQL under the constraints of the SCT Banner web form system. The Banner function calls create the web page on the fly from data obtained with PL/SQL. What I would like to do is incorporate a java function into the web page. The only method available to me is via Banners function call twbkfrmt.p_printmessage (my_string); Here is the 'Plan' (caution: may be seriously flawed). I thought I could store my java code in a the CLOB field of a table, access it with a cursor and insert the code into the generated web page like so: twbkfrmt.p_printmessage (my_java_from_the_CLOB); I am having troubles loading the .js into my table. Here is how I attempted to accomplish this and the result (and to add insult to injury, it is on a VMS system!):
CREATE TABLE js_holder (
js_name varchar(30),
js_body CLOB );
CREATE DIRECTORY foos as 'USR$DISK:[CLEMENSD.SQL_EDIT]';
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE Load_CLOB IS
dest_clob CLOB;
in_file BFILE := BFILENAME('foos', 'supernote.js');
dst_offset number := 1 ;
src_offset number := 1 ;
lang_ctx number := DBMS_LOB.DEFAULT_LANG_CTX;
warning number;
BEGIN
DBMS_OUTPUT.ENABLE(100000);
INSERT INTO js_holder(js_name, js_body)
VALUES('supernote', empty_clob())
RETURNING js_body INTO dest_clob;
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(in_file, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
DBMS_LOB.LoadCLOBFromFile(
DEST_LOB => dest_clob
, SRC_BFILE => in_file
, AMOUNT => DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(in_file)
, DEST_OFFSET => dst_offset
, SRC_OFFSET => src_offset
, BFILE_CSID => DBMS_LOB.DEFAULT_CSID
, LANG_CONTEXT => lang_ctx
, WARNING => warning
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(in_file);
COMMIT;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Loaded File using DBMS_LOB.LoadCLOBFromFile.');
END;
then the following:
EOUTST> set serveroutput on
EOUTST> exec Load_CLOB
EOUTST> exec load_clob
BEGIN load_clob; END;
ERROR at line 1:

Answer 1

Is the directory owned by the same schema that owns the procedure?
If not did you GRANT READ and WRITE to the proc's schema?
If so then you might want to create a simple external table to confirm that your directory and permissions are valid.
