CREATE OR replace PROCEDURE Hello_world2
IS
BEGIN
    HTP.htmlopen;
    HTP.headopen;
    HTP.Title ('You knew it was coming...');
    HTP.headclose;
    HTP.comment ('This phrase is in every computer book.');
    HTP.Bodyopen (cattributes => 'body bgcolor=blue');
    HTP.Print ('And here it is .... Hello, World!');
    HTP.bodyclose;
    HTP.htmlclose;
END;

How can I output this to an HTML file? I have tried as shown below:

spool report.htm
exec hello_world2;
spool off
exit

But I am getting error as shown below:

    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.OWA_UTIL", line 356
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 1368
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 1443
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 1735
    ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 72
    ORA-06512: at "T416493.HELLO_WORLD2", line 4
    ORA-06512: at line 1

Can anyone help me with this

    Normally you would call owa_util.showpage to spool the contents out.
    Dan has a nice overview of the usages Oracle OWA_UTIL
    There is something funny about this, it should run from sqlplus but I think it expects to be called from mod_plsql, using a web browser.

    If you really only want te generate static web pages, you can also use plain old dbms_output to do that. Otherwise, it might be smarter to take a look at Oracle Apex or maybe even a very nice and capable alternative for Oracle Apex, Formspider
