8.5 List of Traceable Events

Table 8-2, "List of Traceable Events" lists the events that can be defined for tracing. In future releases of Forms, more events will be added to this list.

Event types are as follows:

• Point event: An event that happens in Oracle Forms as the result of a user action or internal signal for which there is no discernible duration, for example, displaying an error message on the status line. Each instance of this event type creates one entry in the log file.

• Duration event: An event with a start and end, for example, a trigger. Each instance of this event type creates a pair of entries in the log file (a start and end event).

• Built-in event: An event associated with a built-in. Each instance of this event type creates a greater quantity of information about the event (for example, argument values).
