PL/SQL in the database or PL/SQL in the tool?

com port on the database server, on the application server, or on the client
machine?

what have you tried and what kind of problem occured?

++ mcs

Not to be unkind ... but ..

It is the group. What you are doing is playing games by
providing insufficient information for someone to help
you.

Try again:

What product and what version of that product?
What are you trying to do?
What is the business case you are trying to solve?
What problem are you having when you try to do it?
And as you were asked by Mark, the com port on which machine?

You can't expect help when your posts make it look like
you think we can look over your shoulder and read your mind.

yes, this is the group, but you question left out a lot of important
details -- since there are two places the PL/SQL could reside, and 3
machines where the port could be.

additionally:

what version of forms? web-deployed or client-server?

I guess you need send some text or similar to output device (printer, lcd
display) connected on com port. This is one example I use in my aplication,
to print receipts on POS printer, over com or LPT printer. But, instead of
com port, this is way you can make txt file on disk too.

example:

procedure print is
file_handle TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE;
out VARCHAR2(255);
begin
file_handle:= text_io.fopen('com1' , 'W');
TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE(file_handle, 'some text you want to print');
--------
text_io.fclose(file_hadle);
end;
end;
