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.
