This is Vijay. I am new this forum and current skills are oracle ERP. My report is generating a text file in linux system location

The file p1.txt when generated in window system it is seen as below.

^@ represents a null byte in caret notation. It seems your text file contains zero bytes. What is the encoding of the file and how did you generate it?

Thanks for the reply Millgates,

The issue is resolved. There is setup issue after correcting that. File generation is good.

Thanks,
