Important:

If you are upgrading from FMT to FMB and you do not specify the UPGRADE_PLSQL option, the PL/SQL in the form is not converted, but a List of suggested conversions is written to a log file. This log file is placed in the current working directory, which may be different from the directory in which the FMT file is located.
