Hi,

The relation/difference between is dbms_output.put_line and utl_file.put_line –
dbms_output.put_line is used to display the output on the SQL prompt. utl_file.put_line is used to write to file.

Both functions are in different packages, STANDARD and UTL_FILE.
UTL_FILE does provide other functions for file operations and requires UTL_DIR to be setup properly.
