I am looking for a conversion routine or procedure to convert an Oracle Forms .frm file to a .inp file. The .inp file was lost and no backups had been made. Also the form was never saved to the database. Please send any help or pointers to E-mail: uunet!acd4!bhh!. Thanks!

Please >send any help or pointers to E-mail: uunet!acd4!bhh!. > Major Oop's As far as I've been able to derive (from TFM and the code, a de-compilier for .frm files (even under V2.3) is danged near impossible. Take a deep breath, and rewrite the simple forms first. Identify the triggers and write those seperatly. Include the triggers in each form. [Using Vi/Emacs to edit .inp is not supported, but is offen the fastest method to make consistent changes. Make backups into save directorys before makeing changes to files. Saving the inp file to the database is slow and doesn't really buy you anything. Use alternative methods. -- Kermit Tensmeyer | Intergraph Corporation UUCP: ...uunet!ingr!tensmekl | One Madison Industrial Park INTERNET: tensmekl@ingr.com | Mail Stop LR23A2 AT&T: (205)730-8127 | Huntsville, AL 35807-4201
