Hello all,

I have the following line of code in a package: v_output_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('\\serv1\TestDir$\files','Testfile.txt','W');

I also have the \\serv1\TestDir$\files in the init.ora file staan (oracle 8.1.7)

But I still have 'INVALID PATH' when opening the file. with 'normal paths' (such as c:\test" it is working.

Does anyone know if using \\ and $ could be working in creating files?? Ans how :-)

Thanks a lot and regards,
Anneke
