I have a situation where I have tons of oracle forms.

I need to perform a text search on oracle forms to find if any forms reference any oracle package / function / procedure / table.

E.g. LOG_NOTIFY is a package, need to find how many forms use this package.

Whats the best way to do this. Are there any tools / program available ?

Thank you
Yog

Is your server on Windows/Unix?
You can change the fmb to text file using Administration -> convert -> Binary - Text

If it is Unix server you can use grep on the fmb itself. You can also do the grep to see the line where the package occurrence is there using the text file.

Thank you..

Can we do this programatically instead opening the forms and saving to a file ?

Thanks again.

Still you didn't answer my question..
Is your server on Windows/Unix?
Also you haven't mentioned the forms release.. 6i / 9i or 10g.

If it is 6i on Unix, you can use f60genm with Forms_Doc=Yes
For 10g I think it is frmcmp.
For others I don't know.

anyway you can list the forms and add this command to that programatically or using any editor then you can run it to get the txt files accordingly.
