Problem With the Triggers while migrating Forms from 5 to 6i

Question

When I open the version 5 fmb file in Forms 6i, some of the triggers in the form level triggers and also in data block, are having red arrow marked on them and they seem to have no code in them. So when i compile the form then those triggers are shown as errors and when I close those triggers, they are deleting.
The error looks like this..
Error 103 at line 2, column 1
Encountered the symbol "END" when expecting one of the following:
begin case declare end exception exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise
return select update while with <an identifier>
<a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> <<
close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback
savepoint set sql commit <a single-quoted SQL string>
And finally the form will compile with out any errors. But when I run the form getting error again saying,
FRM 10221: Cannot read file

Hi,
the forms migration assistant tells you about v2 styles triggers (even if they are not migrated ; ) )
take a look at :
[url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e10394/migtool.htm#i100490]Using the Oracle Forms Migration Assistant
Raises a warning in the Form module's log if V2-style triggers are found.
There is also a point you must look at.
In a former project I made a migration from forms 4.5 to 10g and there was foms-level triggers applied at let say the block level or item level (I cant remember exactly) and this is not permitted anymore in 10g.
Again the forms migration assistant Provides warnings about triggers defined at incorrect levels.
Hope this helps

Jean-Yves
