Thanks to all who replied regarding my problem with Oracle Forms
and different screens.

As everyone pointed out Oracle Forms does not generate screen specific
code and any given form can be run on any of the defined terminal types
if given the -c option.

It turns out that my problem is actually with the crt utility (not that
its got a bug, but something is not set up correctly in the DB I suspect).

When the definition is changed all all the tables are not being
updated correctly.

e.g. The Forms development works correctly no matter whay but a form
generated when the screen default is vt100 won't work on a wyse50.
I am currently talking to the local Oracle support to try and figure out why.
One pointer may be that when crt is run it only runs through the
different applications once and when on a course the system I used
there went through three times.

Regards
