Hi,
Every Buddy
Version->Forms 10g + WebUtil Installed + Windows

I need to interface with C from oracle forms by using .DLL file which will call C functions in 10g.
For 10g i tried old methods which were in Forms 6i by using ORA_FFI.load_library but these functions did not work.
Then i gone through Webutil_C_API where it is able to register WEBUTIL_C_API.register_function, then WEBUTIL_C_API.add_parameter
but when it come to invoke "C" function by using WEBUTIL_C_API.Invoke_Int, it is going to struck here only.

Here i tried the example which is in below address
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/howto_ffi.html(i.e.http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/webutil_c_api_test.zip)

I downloaded the MODULE1.fmb which has two buttons C/S FFI, WEB FFI,when clicked on button C/S FFI its working fine which internally call the ORA_FFI functions, but when i click WEB FFI it create the parameter, add argument & then @ the time of invoking Webutil_C_API.Invoke_Int strucking.

So plz if any one know the solution, let me know as early as possible.

Have you considered using 'ole2'? There is a good recent example in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/72811/67467/

My doubt was regarding Calling "C Language" functions in Oracle Forms. If is use the Forms 6i its working fine, but when i use the Forms 10g either by using ORA_FFI or WebUtil_API_C is not working, is there any other solution to call C From Forms 10g

I have a feeling that your environment is not set up correctly. Please verify that the directory holding the C programs is adressable by the 10g system.

Its Correct only because its working if i use ORA_FFI for some C functions and for some functions its not, if i get the information regarding that i how to call 'C' & how to pass parameter exactly, i would able to call those C functions.

Thanks

Have a look at http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa;jsessionid=8d92200830dea575e0fa1818455aa3ecb941ea760850.e34QbhuKaxmMai0MaNeMb3aTchf0?mess ageID=1024628&#1024628

Is this the problem that you are having?

Please confirm that you are trying to perform the actions detailed in http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/htdocs/webutil/howto_ffi.html and that it is THIS form that is not working for you.

The link http://www.it-eye.nl/weblog/category/oracle/database/ has an entry "Calling c from plsql" which looks as though it could be a good way of getting around your problem. The author creates a PL/SQL wrapper around the DLL and addresses it as a function instead of using ora_ffi.
