Run the the Oracle "demo" FORM called FFIGEN which is delivered with FORMS 4.5. In this utililty you define the DLL, calling style and inuput parameters and return value if any. This program then generates a .PLD (text file). Open FORMS IDE and choose: File/Administration/Convert. Follow instructions to conver text .PLD to binary .PLL libary file. This library contain a PL/SQL Package with PL/SQL prcedure calls to your DLL. For more info check the FORMS Built in Packages and the ORA_FFI package.
I recommend you contact your Oracle Rep who can get you a White Paper presented at IOUG last September, which detailed this process. Received on Tue Mar 26 1996 - 00:00:00 CET
