Could you check if you have R,W,X permission on the directory ''/outputs/EXTRACTS''??

And CREATE DIRECTORY only creates a references object to the directory that you specidiy and not the directory itself.

Check whether the directory is present in the SERVER side and not Client Side and Oracle has permission ot write to it....

Use below Code to create the direcotry that u r using in yur code:

SQL> HOST MD'D:/tmp'

Hi,

I tried the following steps which worked fine:

The file a.txt was created and the content was written to the file perfectly.

When I tried creating directory to '/usr', and GRANT all required privileges. Then tried executing the above mentioned anonymous block. It failed, it said the same error as it is showing for your code. And I also tried ftp'ing a file to the folder '/usr' but permission denied. So the DBA have given privileges only to some USERS to make use of the folder '/usr' but '/tmp' can be accessed by anybody.

Hope this helps!!
