Make change to existing EBS r12 form

Question

Hi All,
New to form dev. Can anyone offer an explanation or link to documentation that shows how to take an existing EBS r12 form, make changes to it and then push it back to the EBS server.
I've already looked at OAF with JDev however the forms i need to change also include the type .fbx (fmb) and i've been lead to believe that to create/modify these i need to be using Forms Developer.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers

Hi,
you need to pass the Action = 'U' to the FM.
  CALL FUNCTION 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
      EXPORTING
        ACTION      = 'U'
        VIEW_NAME   = 'ZTAB'
      TABLES
        DBA_SELLIST = IT_RANGETAB
      EXCEPTIONS
        CLIENT_REFERENCE                     = 1
        FOREIGN_LOCK                         = 2
        INVALID_ACTION                       = 3
        NO_CLIENTINDEPENDENT_AUTH            = 4
        NO_DATABASE_FUNCTION                 = 5
        NO_EDITOR_FUNCTION                   = 6
        NO_SHOW_AUTH                         = 7
        NO_TVDIR_ENTRY                       = 8
        NO_UPD_AUTH                          = 9
        ONLY_SHOW_ALLOWED                    = 10
        SYSTEM_FAILURE                       = 11
        UNKNOWN_FIELD_IN_DBA_SELLIST         = 12
        VIEW_NOT_FOUND                       = 13
        MAINTENANCE_PROHIBITED               = 14
        OTHERS                               = 15.
    IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
      MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.
