Does FormsAPI Master allow for looping through all procedures and functions in a program unit of type package (body)??

No, unfortunately there isn’t any such function .. currently you will have to parse packages yourself (using the TPLSQLParser helper class).

Is there a way to somehow automate the parsing of packages btw?

Not for now, still the same answer, sorry ;-).

This might change in V4.0 - i do have a complete fully fledged pl/sql grammar parser implemented in that new version that is using an EBNF type grammar capable of generating AST trees (that is what you need to accurately find package procs/funcs/variables/datatypes/etc) - still would need to expose it to the scripting engine but that should be doable.

TPLSQLParser (which isn't actually a parser, it's a tokenizer to be correct) will have to do for now .. searching for PROCEDURE / FUNCTION keywords and then finding the name of them isn't that difficult.

Regards,

Stefan

This is unrelated to looping through packages but as you've mentioned a future Version 4, I thought I would ask if you have a planned date for this release?

V4.0 should be out early next month. It's kid of finished and feature-complete (just tidying up some small things here and there, testing it and working on all other release related things to release it (updating website, changing licensing scheme, etc)).
