Oracle Forms rolls back uncommitted changes to this savepoint.

NEW_FORM : Exits the current form and enters the indicated form. The calling form is

terminated as the parent form. If the calling form had been called by a higher form,

Oracle Forms keeps the higher call active and treats it as a call to the new form. Oracle

Forms releases memory (such as database cursors) that the terminated form was

using.

Oracle Forms runs the new form with the same Runform options as the parent form. If

the parent form was a called form, Oracle Forms runs the new form with the same

options as the parent form.
