RUNFORM

Purpose

Invokes a SQL*Forms application from within SQL*Plus.

Note: You have access to this command only if your site chose this option while installing SQL*Plus.

Syntax

RUNFORM [options] form_name

Usage Notes

The RUNFORM syntax is the same in both SQL*Plus and SQL*Forms. If you are already in SQL*Plus, you can invoke a form more quickly in this manner than by invoking a form from the system prompt because you avoid a separate Oracle logon. See your SQL*Forms Operator's Guide for details on the correct syntax.

Note that when you use RUNFORM from within SQL*Plus, you may not specify a username/password (you retain your current connection to Oracle). If you wish to use a different username/password, use the SQL*Plus CONNECT command to connect to the desired Oracle username prior to issuing the RUNFORM command.

Example

To run a form named MYFORM, enter

SQL> RUNFORM MYFORM
