I need to print a report of data on an Oracle Form (v3.0) which has not been committed. This is form 2 of 3 in an order entry sequence, and we don't commit the data until they are done with Form 3, however the user "must have" the Form 2 data on paper in order to complete Form 3.

  1. Is there a way to write the uncommitted data to a flat file so I can call a shell script or Pro C program to print the report?
  2. OR, is there some user exit I could use to run my Pro C program so that the uncommitted form data is available to it?
  3. OR, am I missing some much easier way to get FORMS data on paper? Unfortunately the screen has a scrolling block so a screen print wouldn't quite cut it.

Thanks in advance...
