Remove text file using Oracle Forms
I tried to remove text file in Oracle Forms 6i (DB 9i) using TEXT_IO Package (TEXT_IO.FREMOVE('C:out_file.txt')).
But I encountered this error:
FREMOVE MUST BE DECLARED!
How can I fix this problem.
My Code:
DECLARE
outf TEXT_IO.file_type;
...
BEGIN
outf := TEXT_IO.FOpen('C:out_file.txt', 'w');
...
IF condition THEN
RAISE remove_file;
EXCEPTION
WHEN remove_file THEN
TEXT_IO.FCLOSE('C:/out_file.txt');
TEXT_IO.FREMOVE('C:/out_file.txt');
END;

There is no function Text_IO.FREMOVE in Oracle Forms 6i. Use d2kwutil.pll and Win_Api_Utility.Delete_File or use operating system command using HOST built in:
HOST('del c:out_file.txt');

Host sentence does not work. I mean: it's executed but with no effect and no error. So the only way to get the file deleted is using win_api_utility or deleting it outside the form.

I had the same problem: needed to delete a file I was using only to create a directory if directory didn't exist previously. TEXT_IO doesn't have any option, and I didn't want to add d2kwutil to my form. I ended up with this:
DECLARE
v_texto varchar2(3200);
v_templatePath varchar2(256); v_testFile varchar2(256); v_reportFile varchar2(256);
BEGIN
--First part: copy file to dest directory. If directory does not exist, xcopy creates it
v_templatePath := '\serverreportstemplates';
v_testFile := 'test.txt';
v_reportFile := '\serverreports<folder_with_date>test.txt';
v_texto := 'XCOPY '||v_templatePath||v_testFile||' '||v_reportFile || '* /Y';
message(v_texto); --so you can see what is going to be executed
HOST(v_texto, NO_SCREEN);
--Second part: delete dummy file
v_texto := 'cmd /C DEL '||v_reportFile;
message(v_texto);
host (v_texto);
EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
END;
