Import/Export flat file data into forms

I don't know whether it exists or not in FORMS 4.0, but FORMS 4.5.6 has a built-in package, called TEXT_IO, that is aimed at this kind of problem. The package contains procedures and functions to open sequential files, read from and write to them and check if one of them is open or not. They strongly resemble BASIC commands. So, they are very easy to use. You can call the procedures and functions from PL/SQL units in your forms.
