Open Text file from Oracle Forms Prompt

Question

I am using Oracle Forms and I would like to open a log file (text file) from a prompt. The prompt will ask if the user would like to open the text file and clicking yes would open it. Any recommendations?

Answer 1

i was able to open the text file using the following by providing the full file path with the file name:

x_host('viewfile_nowait',w_filepath);
