Support for SQL*FORMS 3.0 to End in June
Oracle corporation has announced that support for SQL*Forms version 3.0 will end on June 30, 1998. CFB will continue to run Forms 3.0 on the North System, but future MVS system upgrades may affect its execution.
Users of Forms 3.0 are strongly encouraged to migrate their applications to either Forms 4.5, using a client/server setup, or to Web-based Forms. Please call the Database Technology Unit at (301) 496-9158 to discuss these two alternatives.
