SQL & PL/SQL

Hi all,

I am having problem in the following code:

declare
  v_file_id            utl_file.file_type;
  v_file_dir           VARCHAR2(100); 
  v_file_name          VARCHAR2(100);
  v_ctl_code           VARCHAR2(100);
begin

  v_ctl_code := 'This is just a test ...';
  v_file_id := utl_file.fopen(v_file_name, 'w', 32767);
  utl_file.put_line(v_file_id, v_ctl_code);

exception
      
       WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20100,'Invalid Path');
       WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_MODE THEN
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20101,'Invalid Mode');
       WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION then
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20102,'Invalid Operation');
       WHEN UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE then
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20103,'Invalid Filehandle');
       WHEN UTL_FILE.WRITE_ERROR then
         NULL;
       WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR then
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20105,'Read Error');
       WHEN UTL_FILE.INTERNAL_ERROR then
         RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20106,'Internal Error');
       WHEN OTHERS THEN
       utl_file.fclose(v_file_id);
       raise_application_error (-20001, sqlerrm);

end;
/

parameter is already set to :

utl_file_dir    '/test/out'

But the code gives me the following error:

ORA-20100: Invalid Path
ORA-06512: at line 14

Any idea will be highly appreciated.

Thanks and Regards
