Subject: UTL_FILE file problem


I couldn't give a value different from * for the utl_file_dir parameter in the initSid.ora file.
I tried things like C:\tmp or C:\windows\tmp, but I always have an INVALID_PATH error.
But the same script works in the Unix environment whether the value for the utl_file_dir is * or any existing directory.
Is there something that I missed ?
