I suggest that, at least during the debug phase, you display ALL the return codes you get from your function calls, starting with sms_lhandle. Are you getting a non-zero return value?

Use a hex editor or one of those C tools and make sure that there is a function 'login' and that it isn't 'Login'.

The thing is,
a company wants to send sms from oracle , and they send me a dll file which is written by another company (in C , so i can use the functions in it to send data in msgs from oracle DB) , and they send me the dll file along with the names of the functions in it ,I checked with them many and they are sure of the function names and spelling...I tried everything for 2 weeks without a solution and it keeps giving me 'function not found in library' !!! Please HHHHHHHHeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllppppppppppppp

hello lama,

you know, its very much easier to use the dll in vb. i suggest you do it in vb instead of using it directly from oracle, though its still possible because of ora_ffi pkg.

i already tried using that, what i did, i made an ocx in vb and attached it in my oracle forms.

good luck.

lomhanz.

Final contact ... have you looked at the dll with a flat editor ... is the 'login' actually spelt 'Login'? Have you displayed the return codes?

You should use FFIGEN form to saw the function in Dll file and then make Pll file. I Use Dll file written in C Language in Oracle Developer and its work fine.If u provide me Dll file I can help u to convert this file in .Pll file.

I checked your Dll File it work fine in Visual Basic Supported Applications but not in Oralce Developer because this file code is not write in C language and remember Oralce Developer Only support PASCAL/C Language file.You should try with Other Sms Dll Files.

Hi all,
Does oracle require a specific version of c ? I mean if I want to read a dll file written in c ,what versions of c work with the ffigen form ( which uses ora_ffi )?

@others - come on people, someone must have got their DLLs to work with Forms. Give this person the benefit of your knowledge.

Can anyone give Lama a DLL that DOES work and let him test his environment?

@Lama, can you create another DLL (mySMS) which is able to communicate with the supplied DLL (SmsPro) and then get Oracle Forms to communicate wioth your new intermediate DLL (mySMS)?
