I am in a process to migrate the forms and reports 6i to 10G AS.
The first thing to do is to make the forms and reports compile in 10G AS.
The first thing to do is to replace CALL built in with CALL_FORM.

Since there are hundreds of forms,Is there any automated way to replace the above built in or do i have to do it manually one by one tediously?

I used Search and Replace; it is a program ...

Quote:

... for finding text in files and performing advanced search / replace operations on text or binary files using grep style regular expressions. The many features include searching files in ZIPs, HTML mode, clipboard search/replace, & more

Perhaps you'll find it useful.

I need to change CALL with CALL_FORM in the code in the various triggers in fmb files.
I don't see it doing this.

I wrote a shell script to automate the process.

#!bin/bash
mkdir temp
for file in $@
do
sed 's/call/call_form/g' $file > temp/$file
mv temp/$file $file
done

but i forgot that plsql is written behind the file.
And fmb files are binary files.
So this won't work for fmb files.
Does any one know how to modify it to solve the purpose?

I don't have any 'CALL' in my forms to change it to 'CALL_FORM'. So, I changed 'ocit' to 'al_me_gnjavis'. Do I need to create a form which will show you an exact example of what you'd like to see?

Have you considered using Oracle's Migration Assistant? For more information search for 'Migration Assistant' on either this site, Oracle's main site, or google.
