What is Flint60.exe?
We use the Oracle Applications upgrade utility, flint60, on the Oracle Forms 6i .fmb file to apply changes that help your form to obey the rule of Release 11i standards.
The changes flint60 makes to your form (in upgrade mode) are listed in a detailed .html log file. These changes may include:
- Converting most boilerplate to associated prompts for items or frames
- Converting lines and boxes to frames
- Setting certain property classes or individual properties for objects as appropriate (for example, lists of values have the property class set to LOV if it is not already set)
- Adjusting y-coordinate alignments of fields if they are slightly offset from character-cell boundaries (for example, old display-only text items did not use bevels and were previously offset to make them line up with fields that had bevels, but now the display-only text items also use bevels)
- Replacing access key property settings with ampersands in labels (for example, a label of ”Charge” with a separate access key property setting of ”h” becomes ”C&harge” and the access key setting is removed).
- The flint60 utility also checks for certain other conditions including:
- database items whose maximum length does not match the length of the corresponding database column
