You'll get those messages when the calling form's FMX was created with a
newer version of Oracle Forms than the called form's FMX. Maybe the calling
form was converted to Forms 6 and the called form is still in Forms 5
format. Just re-compile the older FMB using Forms 6 (or whatever your most
current version is) and you should be able to run the form.
