How to work with multiple forms ...?

[SSundar]

My requirement is as follows.

1. Open two forms f1 and f2 (Using OPEN_FORM)
2. Run Pro*C program from f1 (Using HOST Command)
3. When Pro*C is running, Go to f2 and continue ..

I am facing problem here. When Pro*C is running from f1, I am unable to come back to f2.

Please guide me how to do it.

Thanks in advance.

You don´t said the version of Forms and the OS, but anyway : I suppose you are trying something like this inside a Form´s trigger :


.....
HOST('name_of_pro*c');
go_form('f2');

and it´s not working. In some versions of Forms and in some OSs the HOST command is synchronous (i.e. , the execution of the trigger WILL wait for the ending of the HOST call. If so, replace the HOST for another command : in Windows, you can use the d2kwutil.pll (look in technet for more info), or in unix maybe you could run the pro*c in background using &&
