Re: Text dumps of dev2000 forms

Hi Olly,

The "binary pieces" of text are hex-coded PL/SQL and SQL text representation in order to store
data in database repository without NLS translations. To get aa ASCII-text instead of hex codes you have to translate each 2 bytes into its ASCII representation. Also you may try to analize form data inside of dev2000 Oracle database repository.

I hope it helps.
