Baloch,
Essentially, you call your database stored procedure the same way in Forms as you do in SQL Plus. The difference is that you need to call the procedure in a Forms Trigger versus a SQLPLus prompt. The Forms user must have execute privileges to the stored procedure as well. The Forms trigger depends on when and where you need the procedure to run. For example, if you need the procedure run in conjunction with a button pressed in your form, you would code your When-Button-Pressed trigger to call the stored procedure. If the db user is different fro.m the Forms user, make sure you fully qualify the call to the procedure.
Here is a small code sample to demonstrate:
/* Sample When-Button-Pressed trigger */
BEGIN
   IF <Condition is true> THEN
      /* Call Database procedure */
      SCHEMA.PROCEDURE_NAME(<any procedure parameters here>);
   END IF;
END;This is a very basic example, but it should make the concept clear. ;)
Hope this helps,
