running a batch file from oracle forms 6i using host
- by user176217
I am trying to run a batch file. the file is located here:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\getfile.bat
I use this in oracle forms 6i:
first i assign this path to a variable:
tmp_msg := 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\getfile.bat'
then I use the host command:
host( 'cmd /c' || tmp_msg, no_screen);
This is exactly as I have it. It doesn't give me an error, but I don't get the result that I'm expecting. I'm actually executing java code in the batch file like so: java -classpath path;addedpackage.jar myClass
I hope someone can help me with this. Thank you.
