Make a script to run your pl/sql.

Go to app designer, DB Misc tab.

Create an “Execute Script” action.

Double-click it to set properties.

Did you include a “set serveroutput on” at the top of your file?

E ric,

if you have a proc like:

create or replace procedure dbmsoutput_proc
as
begin
dbms_output.put_line('this is output from my proc');
end;

and execute the script as:

set serveroutput on
spool c:\myoutput.txt
exec dbmsoutput_proc;
spool off;

you’ll get output like:

this is output from my proc
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Is this what you’re looking for?

In the past, I created a logging package that let me control whether debug
messages went to DBMS_OUTPUT (console), a text file on the server via UTL_FILE,
both, or turn them off entirely. I probably have the code at home, but it
didn’t take more than a day to write it either.

Eric,

Unfortunately, I could not find this code at home.

The gist of it was, I had a private-global packaqe variable I exposed via
get-set routines to control the destination. I used a string to represent three
flags: (F)ile, (T)able, ©onsole. The debug-logging packaged procedure was
overloaded to handle filenames for the UTL_FILE-based routine. Whether to
enable/disable logging was based on a 2nd private-global debug variable.

IF (isdebug_on) THEN

IF (get_trace LIKE ‘%F%’) THEN

– write to a logfile using UTL_FILE

END IF;

IF (get_trace LIKE ‘%T%’) THEN

– write to a logging table via an Autonomous Transaction procedure

END IF;

IF (get_trace LIKE ‘%C%’) THEN

– use DBMS_OUTPUT

END IF;

END IF;

The UTL_FILE routine opened, wrote and closed everytime. While this does add a
bit of overhead, the results can be seen immediately (the close performs a
flush) and different files can be logged to during a session (one for different
purposes).
