I have used a keystroke file with forms 3.0 to test a form.

After a first run where you saves the input you can run the form over and over again.

I do not know if the last character mode forms version (6i) wil support this.

I would use utl_file or sqlloader to load an OS file in a database, not forms in batch mode Received on Fri Aug 19 2005 - 21:56:43 CEST
