How to display a CSV file generated on an iAS with web.show_document

Hi,

I've created a CSV file on an iAS application server (ORACLE) path /u01/app/tmp, I am using forms 9i, and I want to display the content of the csv file in order to let the users (clients) save that info on their pc's or laptops. I am trying to use the web.show_document but it seems I am not using the proper parameters or this is not he proper feature to display the file. Can you please assist me on this problem? An example about how to use or write the code on forms side will be highly appreciated.

Regards,
Diana

Is there any other solution?

I am unable to set the application server with the webutil.
If your wish is to  display it only you can use Reports choosing DELIMITED or DELIMITEDDATA output.
This driver of Reports Server will create the output eligible to be exported to Excel, but will not invoke Excel
on the screen.

WEBUTIL can create cvs file on the client side using client_io_text package.
