Forms 3 Year 2000 Bug

[Quoted] [Quoted] Is there anybody else out there come across a bug in Forms 3 which allows the entry of 0000 in the year element of a date.

        ie 13-FEB-0000.

Forms accepts this as a valid date and stores it onto the database as 13-FEB-0000. However on retrieval back into Forms the date is shown as null.

A serious problem which Oracle say is too complicated to resolve in the twilight years of Forms 3.

There must be others out there which still use Forms 3 who have discovered this problem. If so I would like to hear your views.
