Finding a literal in Forms 6i

[ftbeck]

i'm ready to start a "needle-in-the-haystack" search and was wondering if anyone could give me some tips.

let's see --
it's Oracle Forms 6i
a grep on the Unix code tells me it's in xxxx.fmb
a PL/SQL-Find/Replace on xxxx.fmb doesn't show me the literal that Unix did when grepping.

My next step is to start going down the list and checking the PL/SQL, Layout & Properties for every object -- ugh.
Is there an eaiser way to find where the literal is?

TIA! Beck

Try generating an FMT file and/or a 'forms document'. That will produce readable text files that you can grep or vi and search.
