Oracle Forms

We observed that when we batch compiled our forms size of the FMB reduced quite a bit after batch compile and save compared

to what it was to originally when compiled and saved through forms builder (ifbld60.EXE). If after this form is opened in

forms builder and then compiled and saved it reverts to original size. We also checked using one of the third party form

diff utility and found both FMB’s from batch compile and one from form builder even though of different size do not have any

difference.

Now question sis what is the reason FMB size is reduced and does it not pose any kind of issue for loosing something out of

the FMB. Please explain what is this behavior with impact if any etc?

We batch compile using the following code.

For %%I in (sizechange.FMB) do start /w ifcmp60 module=%%I userid=usrname/passwd@SID batch=yes compile_all=yes Upgrade=No

build=Yes


We made a sample form named sizechange.fmb with non-db block and having program unit selecting from dual multiple times.

Environment details : Windwos 2000, Forms 6.0.8.22.1, db(8.0.6.0.0) on HP9000-UX 10.20

Thanks in advance for your response.
