Hi everybody,

I've got a problem when I use the HOST procedure to work with DOS Prompt. When I access the DOS Prompt via Oracle Forms HOST Procedure, the name of files and folders got limited by 8 chars plus extension.
Lets suppose I want to copy a file and the file name is my_image.jpg. What I have to do is:

HOST('copy MY_IMA~1 C:\TEMP\IMAGE01');

I guess it sucks cause the function GET_FILE_NAME give me the filename as my_image.jpg.
Do I have to convert the filename every time?

Does everybody know a better way to this?

[]'s
