John, this is to be executed from Forms; HOST and EXIT_FORM are Forms built-ins.

Assalam-o-Alaikum!
Dear experts...!
I want to backup my database using host exp command.
I have many database users with different tables etc.
I want to backup the data of current_user (active user) dynamically...!!
can any one help me...
I wrote the command as
host ('exp abc/xyz @xe file=d:\backup\backup.dmp');
this abc user should be dynamic and should be replaced with the user which is currently active...
& the name of backup should be in the name of currently active user...!!

Use || to add variables to a string
host ('exp '||user||'/'||password||' @xe file=d:\backup\'||filename);

Though you'll have to make the user re-enter the password into a form item so you can get the value.

Please help me..

consider to have a single string variable that will contain the whole command line.
display the content of this string as opposed to passing it to the "host" command.
COPY the content of this string then PASTE it on actual command line & show us the results.

"host" is a Forms internal procedure, you can't use it in SQL*Plus.

Please read How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

As Michel says host is a forms built-in that takes a string and runs it on the command line.
You need to take the string you are passing as the parameter to host and run that manually.

Also you don't need to select user from dual, you can just use user directly.

The solution is not necessarily as simple & it appears you think it should be.
Is FORMS software running on the DB Server itself?
In order for the exp command to succeed, the USER password is required so how will be acquired & placed on the command line?
What security risk occurs by exposing the USER password to other folks?

You need to answer all 3 question before any specific solution is proposed or offered.

1. Yes forms software is running on the same DB Server....
2. Password is static for and same for all users... it will be hard coded....
3. There is no security risk....my password is xyz for all my users....

That is a security risk.

If you're going to live with it then all you need to do is debug your host command in the way we already described and fix it appropriately.

You need to learn how to debug your own code.

Assign the string of text you are going to pass to host to a variable.
Display the variable on screen (assign it to a datablock item then you can easily copy it).

Copy the text and run it directly on the DB server.
See what error you get.
Fix the exp command so that it works.
Fix the forms code so that it makes a string that works.

If you can't work out what's wrong with it paste the command you are trying to run here along with the error message you get on the server.

I wrote the command as

When you "host" out of Forms to get back to OS command level, what is OS user & what environment exists for this new process?
Is %ORACLE_HOME% & %ORACLE_SID% defined & correct?

Somehow I doubt this.
What version of forms are you running? What you are saying is that it is either not multi tier or you have the Weblogic server on the same server as the database server. If it's the former, you would most likely not have export commond on your PC and if it is the latter, I never heard of a situation where the DB and Forms Server are n the same server.

does get_application_property(password) actually return anything?
What exactly did you try in the host call?
