Junk characters in fmt file after converting fmb to fmt

Hi,
I have a very big form (in forms 6i). I want to search for a specific table and that table has been used in many pl/sql scripts and triggers. I converted that fmb to fmt thru forms builder using Administration - convert.
Now when I open that fmt in wordpad, I see all the scripts in junk characters.
Any advise how I can get a good fmt file.
Pls suggest soon.
Thanks

Hi ,
What happens when you try to change the fonts in the wordpad...?????
Try , as a second option , to convert your fmb file to .xml file using the frmf2xml [options] file1 [file2...] format....

  • Junk characters in ldt file

    Hi Experts,
    Am a newbie to oracle apps.
    Iam using 'messages' to store and display arabic characters in xml report and it is working fine . While migrating the report form one instance to another instance by downloading ldt file, the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in the ldt file.
    Any pointers to resolve this issue will be helpful.
    Thanks,
    Santhosh

    I am using Windows 7 and used notepad to view the ldt file.
    The arabic characters are converted to some other format like junk.
    I tried uploading the ldt file in the same instance.
    After uploading the ldt file in the same instance,the the arabic characters are displaying as junk characters in front end while checking.
    Are the arab characters are converted to some other format in ldt file?
    i didnt tried uploading the ldt file in someother different instance to check for the correctness of arab characters in front end.Set NLS_LANG as suggested in my previous reply before you download the data and it should be in Arabic (assuming your database/application characterset support Arabic language and your client can read Arabic characters) -- FNDLOAD problem with Arabic font
    Thanks,

  • Convert fmb to fmt in command line in 10g

    Would anybody out there give me a hint on how to convert fmb file to fmt in a command line in forms 10g ? Which command can we use to start the form converter that we can get from file -> convert on the form developer ? either in
    Windows or Linux environment.
    Thank you in advance
    -ian

    Ian,
    this is what you are looking for
    Forms/Reports 9.0.X, 10.x
    #UNIX Forms Compile
    #compile_forms.sh
    for i in `ls *.fmb`
    do
    echo Compiling Form $i ....
    f90genm userid=scott/tiger@bs817 batch=yes module=$i module_type=form
        compile_all=yes window_state=minimize
    done
    ( For 10gR1 = forms 9.0.4.x, you can use f90gen also)
    ( For 10gR2 = forms 10.x, you can use frmcmp.sh or frmcmp_batch.sh)
    #UNIX COMPILE REPORTS
    #compile_rep.sh
    for i  in `ls  *.rdf`
    do
    echo Compiling Report $i  ...
    rwconverter.sh userid=scott/tiger@bs817 batch=yes source=$i 
        stype=rdffile dtype=repfile overwrite=yes compile_all=yes
    done
    Note: If you dont want to use the X-Display then you can use f60gen,f90gen and frmcmp_batch.sh
    for compiling Forms. Make sure TERM, ORACLE_TERM and NLS_LANG values are properly set.
    ADDITIONAL:
    You can use the information above to compile libraries or menues or
    convert files from binary to text and text to binary too. eg:
    for %%f in (*.pll) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=LIBRARY batch=yes window_state=minimize compile_all=yes
    for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=MENU batch=yes window_state=minimize compile_all=yes
    for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=FORM batch=yes window_state=minimize parse=YES
    for %%f in (*.mmb) do ifcmp60 userid=user/pwd@db module=%%f module_type=FORM batch=yes window_state=minimize script=YES
    (and similar loops for Unix).

  • Remove closed captions from H.264 file after converting?

    I processed a video file in Compressor using the Blu-Ray settings, and included a reference to a closed captions file. I now need to use the file in another application (Adobe Encore), but the closed captions appear to be hard coded in.
    Is that correct? Is there anyway to remove closed captions from a H.264 file after it has been converted with Compressor?
    Please help   This is for a film festival, and I may not have time to process the video in Compressor again without the closed captions.
    Message was edited by: nicholas.he
    Fixed question spelling from 'form' to 'from'.

    From the user manual:
    "QuickTime files: Compressor adds the closed caption file as a closed caption track to the QuickTime output file."
    The closed caption "track" can be turned on and off.  It is not burned into the screen, as is the CC standard.  Encore should handle the file just fine.  You should be able to tell the DVD to have Closed Captioning turned off by default.  That's all it takes. 
    Sub-Titles may be burned in to the screen.  If you did sub-titles, yes, you'll have to re-encoded from scratch without them.  When doing sub-titles in an DVD authoring program, you have the ability to enable and disable them, but in Compressor, they're burned in.

  • Countless .png files after converting pdf to dwg

    After converting a .pdf file to a .dwg file using the export feature in adobe illustrator, I find that as many as 500 .png files come with the newly made .dwg after the conversion is complete. My question is, why do all these pictures come with the .dwg file and what would I have to change, settings wise, to no longer have to delete all of those photos? (i.e. how to export ONLY the .dwg file) I thank you all in advance for you help.

    We can't know. We have no idea what the file looks like, how it was created in the first place or even what version of AI you use. And not to state the obvious: You are mistaken if you think that CAD-generated PDFs or DWGs only contain vectors, so for all intents and purposes this could be totally normal within the bounds of the format and how the file was originally generated.

    I have the following written in a batch file to compile fmb to fmx, pll to plx and mmb to mmx and is working fine

    It is your compile_all=yes that is causing the fmb file to be modified. Do as Robin suggested, make a copy and compile that, then delete the copy.
    There is a DOS script, compall.bat that I use at:

  • How to automatically close a file after converting it to a pdf file

    I am downloading multiple html files and converting them to pdf files.  Adobe Pro Create command or the command line when right-clicking in a web browser for Adobe will convert a html file to pdf but also opens them.  How do I automatically close them to a designated folder?

  • FRM-10043: Cannot open file after converting SQL*Form 2.3 INP to 4.5 FMB

    After running the f45gen32.exe on a version SQL*Form 2.3 INP file, it generates
    the version 4.5 FMB adn the .err file (that does not indicate that any errors have occurred).
    When I attempt to open the converted module using Developer 2000 v.1.3, it continuously
    indicates the following error:
    FRM-10043: Cannot open file
    This error is received despite selecting all the required conversion parameters (per metalink and
    other notes found on this forum).
    This is a conversion of SQL*Forms version 2.3 to 4.5, with the ultimate goal of converting to 6i.
    The same process works with other forms.?
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Does anyone have a workaround for this issue?
    Is Developer 2000 v.1.3 the incorrect version to use?
    Thank you for your assistance.

  • Do I need to keep my xmp files after converting my raw files to dng?

    I originally set up Lr to automatically build xmp files.  Recently, I decided to go with dng files and have converted all my raw files to dng.  Can I now delete all my xmp files and change my Lr setting so xmp files are no longer automatically produced?

    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I think I've got this straight.  My goal is to keep the xmp data with the image file (embedded into the file in the case of dng files) as well as in the Lr catalog.  I still need to auto (or manually) save xmp files in order for Lr to save the xmp data internally to the dng file.  Right?
    Perfectly right.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I've been converting to dng after I have done my initial Lr processing of the raw files and the sidecar files have already been produced.  When I convert to dng, the side car files aren't automatically deleted.
    I *think* if you say: do not delete previous raw, it keeps both xmp and original raw files. However, if you say: delete original raws upon conversion, it will delete both raw files and xmp sidecars. In other words, they are treated as a unit. So I suspect your raw files are not being deleted either, right? Note: if this is the case, then whenever you sync your folders, it's gonna wanna pull in all the original raws again. If it were me, rather than deleteing the xmp and leaving the sibling raws, I'd move both to a backup.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I wonder if the sidecar files would ever be produced if I imported with the option to convert to dng and then wouldn't ever be editting the raw files?
    They would not. If you know you are going to prefer DNG, it seems prudent to convert upon import.
    WDKlein1000 wrote:
    I know the sidecar files are relatively small, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to go back and delete them once the xmp data is embeded in the dng files.  Right?
    Right again - delete away...

  • Convert script for fmb to fmt

    Hi ,
    I'm trying to convert FMB to FMT using a batch file.
    here the scipt

    when executting....error
    FRM-10044: Cannot create file.
    Please help.

    It is likely that the modules cannot be found. Also, some of the parameters you are passing are not likely necessary. For example, upgrade and upgrade_plsql are not needed. These only apply if you are compiling an old Forms modules to newer. You can find the complete details in the online help.
    Try this in the batch, but be sure to change ORACLE_HOME and FORMS90_PATH and USERID to yours (no other changes should be needed):
      SET ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle10g\iDS904
      SET FORMS90_PATH=C:\FormsReports904

  • Trouble with flickering after converting AVCHD files to Apple Pro Res 22

    Hi guys.
    I have figured out that Apple Pro res 22 is the best format for my AVCHD files.
    But I am having trouble with the files after converting them to this format.
    Every 60 frames I have a blurred frame.
    This results in a flickering effect when watching the clip.
    The original MP4 clip (AVCHD) plays fine on the Mac but when I convert is it flickers.
    I have captured a still shot of the frame here
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/FrameError.jpeg
    Here are the settings I am using for the conversion
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/Error.JPG
    Here is the converted file in Apple Pro Res 22 format with the flickering
    http://www.willpower.net.au/DOWNLOADS/SANY0007.mov
    I'd appreciate any help that you can offer.

    Actually I think I might have found the answer.
    After diggin deaper into the camera manual I have discovered that the setting I had it on "Full HD" actually is interlaced not progressive. Even though tha badging on the camera says Progressive"
    So I think something got lost when converting the files to apple pro res.
    I just shot a 10 sec clip on "Full HR" which is the progressive function and it converted nicely.
    I'll come back to this post after shooting and making a little test movie today.
    Thanks for your help.
    PS. I wonder what codec it actually shoots in. Apparently it is not AVCHD but MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 compression (I thought that was AVCHD)

  • Oracle forms .fmb to .fmt

    From Forms Builder I can convert .fmb to .fmt manually, what about if I have lots of forms and I want to automate that is there a tool for that , I'll do converting from .rdf to rex

    You can use the Forms compiler - command line tool... located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin/frmcmp
    You can create a .bat or .sh script to loop thru all .fmb in the directory and then generate the fmt files or a script with multiple entries to call the frmcmp.exe.
    i.e.
    C:\Oracle\IDS10gR2\BIN\frmcmp.exe module=tsdr9010.fmb userid=***/***@*** forms_doc=yes
    C:\Oracle\IDS10gR2\BIN\frmcmp.exe module=tsdr9020.fmb userid=***/***@*** forms_doc=yes
