Based on what you wrote your chance of success is a small number approaching zero.

Oracle Forms is a complex object oriented environment supporting inheritance and polymorphism
and it you don't understand the concepts and architecture you'll likely just make a huge mess.

Which brings up the question of what qualifies your boss when he/she assigns work to someone
unqualified to tackle it? A desire to destroy the company or just make you look bad?
