I recently inherited a job maintaining a PC/RT running ORACLE, including
SQLPLUS, SQL*FORMS, and PRO*C.  I want to write a series of menu forms
that can branch from one to the next, or EXIT back to the calling menu.

What is the easiest way to do this?  SQL*FORMS won't let me define a form
without mapping it to a table, and unless it modifies the table in some
way, I get a fatal error leaving the form.

Has anyone successfully implemented a forms-based menu system in ORACLE,
and if so, would you be willing to share sample code I could look at?

Please e-mail to tew@n.sp.cs.cmu.edu

Thanks,
 -Tom
