Convert binary to text in Forms 6i

Hello.
I used an option called Convert (File/Edministration/Convert) in Forms 4.5 and i could to see the triggers' code in a fmt file; but now with Forms 6i I can't see them any more; somebody knows why?
Thanx... Regards
Paco

The Bad news:
In version 6i of forms trigger and program unit code is encoded in FMT files in such a way that it is not readable.
The good news:
Oracle has seen the light and in version 9i you can convert a form to XML and read and change trigger code.

  • Batch convert Binary to Text

    Environment:
    Forms version 10.1.2.2.0
    Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 4 (Nahant update2)
    Problem:
    How to convert Forms Binary to text format from Linux command line.
    This must be the same result as choosing File=>Administration=>Object List Report in the Forms Object Navigator menu.

    Hi ,
    Use the general format...:
    frmcmp module=myform script=YES
    The script parameter Converts a binary file format (.FMB, .MMB, or .PLL) to a text format (.FMT, .MMT, or .PLD).
    This must be the same result as choosing File=>Administration=>Object List Report in the Forms Object Navigator menu
    No it is not.... This operation can also be done within Oracle Forms by using the Convert command.

  • Can I convert Twitter time Text to Project Siena's Date Value ?

    Can I convert Twitter time Text to Project Siena's Date Value ?
    I want to show localtime of Twitter created_at.
    Twitter time text = ThisItem!created_at , ex: Tue Jul 15 17:19:00 +0000 2014
    I want to show 2014/07/16 02:19 by Japan localtime.
    Regards,
    Yoshihiro Kawabata

    Siena uses JavaScript to parse date/times, via the TimeValue function. A good specification regarding what is acceptable can be found here:
    https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date/parse
    The example above is truly bizarre: I thought I had seen it all. You will need to turn that form into one of those listed on the above site, using string functions to chop it up and reassemble it into a saner form.

  • Graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

    graphics convert but not text even when ocr is disabled

    Hmmm... I seem to have found the plist file that is doing it. I was looking at /Library/Application\ Support/Apple/Remote\ Desktop/ before... looks like /Library/Preferences/com.apple.ARDAgent.plist is the culprit.
    This plist is a binary, so I had to use plutil to convert to xml in order to make it human readable. I wonder if I can just hack this file up a bit and re-deploy it to each machine. Or I wonder if it would re-build if I simply remove it from each client. I will need to test to find out, seeing as though the task servers are listed in it, probably not a good idea to remove it all the way.

  • Convert Binary Data into Pdf & send it as attachment in a mail in Workflow

    Hi,
    Scenario:
    The interactive form saved in WebDynpro Application is sent to R/3 in binary format. It has to be converted into pdf and sent it as an attachment in mail to the respective person in workflow.
    Kindly help on these issues :
    1. How to receive the binary data in R/3 sent by the WebDynpro Application ?
    To my knowledge we can receive the binary in XSTRING data type. Plz correct me if am wrong.
    2. How do i convert the received binary data into pdf ?
    Thanks,
    Bharath Kaushik

    Hi Bharath,
    I think you should try to write dat being sent to R/3 to spool first, as in R/3 there is FM <i>CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF</i> , with the help of which you will be able to convert Binary data to PDF format.
    Pls find one of the threads related to this , and see if this is useful to you.
    Problem in CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
    Hope this atleast helps to start off.

    PS: Some points would be nice if it helps:)

  • How to convert Binary Data into XML ???

    I am calling the getTaskInfo method of TaskManagerService class using Web Service API.
    The result includes the formdata in two formats:
    1.  Binary content of the form
    2.  Remote URL of the form data
    I have to find a value of a particular field using one of the above information.
    I am unable to convert the binary data to XML directly. I have also tried fetch the document based on remoteURL parameter which is also not working.
    Any suggestions are highly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Steffen,
    I found the same solution and fixed the issue long time back. Just forgot to close this forum topic.

  • Checking and Converting binary, octal, decimal, and hex

    Hi,
    I have a classroom project which will need to validate that data entered in a text is of a certain type with a keyListener, and then convert that value to the other 3 types.
    I know character.isDigit will handle the decimal case, and that I can then use Integer.otString methods to convert to binary, octal, and hex, but what about the other cases?
    Thanks

    OK, this isn't working. If I've already established
    that the string entered into, for example, the
    integer-only textfield is a valid integer, I should be
    able to simply use integer.parseint(s, 2) to convert
    it into binary, right?Not exactly. You should be able to use Integer.parseInt(s, 2) to return the result of converting it from binary representation. You appear to think that this affects whatever "s" refers to, which is not the case. Note also, that method returns an int which is the decimal value in question.
    When you are thinking of int variables, be careful not to think of them as "decimal" or "binary". They are neither. They are just numbers. "Decimal" and "binary" are text representations of numbers, so those concepts can only be applied to strings.
    Integer.parseInt(s, 2);
    txtBin.setText(s);So here you want to assume that the input is a string that represents a number in decimal, and you want to find the string that represents the number in binary. Like this:// convert string in decimal representation to number
    int dec = Integer.parseInt(s);
    // convert int to binary representation as string:
    String binary = Integer.toBinaryString(dec);
    // write that to the text field
    txtBin.setText(binary);You could use a one-liner to do that, but you'll need the "dec" variable to set the other text boxes.
    Rembering why I hate OO...All of what I said there is true in just about all computer languages, OO or otherwise.

  • Any1 aware of a function module to convert a number in exponential form

    any1 aware of a function module to convert a number in exponential form to normal form...
    eg... a no. like 8.00000000000004E-01 
                     8.88888888888884E-01
    and

               9.44444444444442E-01

    I think you can just move from type F to type p.
    p =  f .

  • Problem deleting cross-references: Deleted cross-references do not convert to correct text

    This helpful page states that, "When you delete a cross-reference, the source cross-reference is converted to text."
    I use InDesign to create user's manuals, which are full of cross-referenced page numbers.
    The cross-references are all internal to a single document, they do not link to other documents. Each cross-reference is linked to paragraph text and the cross-reference format is Page Number.
    I find that whenever I delete a cross-reference, the cross-reference does convert to text; however, the text—which in this case is a page number—is wrong.
    For example, this sentence is on page 16:
    "You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip heart rate monitor or an optional chest heart rate monitor (see page 21 for information about the optional chest heart rate monitor.)"
    Screenshot:
    However, when I delete the cross reference, the sentence now reads:
    "You can measure your heart rate using either the handgrip heart rate monitor or an optional chest heart rate monitor (see page 16 for information about the optional chest heart rate monitor.)"
    Screenshot:
    Now, to my mind, the cross-reference should have converted to the text "21," since that is what the cross-reference said (and it is the correct page number for the optional heart rate monitor text that is being referred to).
    Instead, the cross-reference converted to the text "16," which is the number of the page that the sentence is actually on, but is most definitely not what the cross-reference said and is not the correct page number to boot.
    Do any of you know the reason this happens?
    Is there a way to make the text convert to the correct page number when the cross-reference is deleted?

    Update: The cross references work when I export the book as Print PDF. Sadly this solution does not work in my case, because all my interactive element are disabled when exporting as Print PDF.
