Re: Promblems whit ReadRegistry in Forms5.0

Hello Eugen!
[Quoted] When you will only read the oracle keys then you can use the built-in-Function
tool_env.getvar
I've tryed this like:

tool_env.getvar('FORMS50_PATH',:forms50_path);
tool_env.getvar('reports30_path',:reports30_path);
tool_env.getvar('reports30_tmp',:reports30_tmp);
tool_env.getvar('tk25_icon',:tk25_icon);
tool_env.getvar('tns_admin',:tns_admin50);
tool_env.getvar('nls_lang',:nls_lang50);
tool_env.getvar('FORMS50_DEFAULTFONT',:FORMS50_DEFAULTFONT);
tool_env.getvar('FORMS50_USER_DATE_FORMAT',:FORMS50_user_date_format);

I've no solution for reading other keys from the registry. Hope this helps.
