Webutil Example Code Fragments

Most of these code fragments are from our own code. One or two are from publicly
available web sites, a couple are from the webutil example forms provided by Oracle
Corp.

Open file for writing

filename := 'c:\temp\'||to_char(in_load_sequence)||'.CTL';
MYFILE := client_text_io.FOPEN(FILENAME, 'W');

Write to the file

--disp_message('writing file '||filename);

client_text_io.putf(myfile, 'load DATA append INTO TABLE SPOT_LOAD1');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, ' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '||''''||','||''''||
' optionally enclosed by '||''''||'"'||''''||' TRAILING NULLCOLS');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, ' ( ');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, 'COL1 CHAR NULLIF (COL1=BLANKS)');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, ',COL2 CHAR NULLIF (COL2=BLANKS)');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, ',COL3 CHAR NULLIF (COL3=BLANKS)');
client_text_io.putf(myfile, ',COL4 CHAR NULLIF (COL4=BLANKS)');

Close the file

/* OK close the file and copy to the right place */

client_text_io.fclose(myfile);
--disp_message('closing file '||filename);
