DBMS_OUTPUT is usually used in PL/SQL programs (when run in SQL*Plus, TOAD, SQL Developer, etc.) to display user messages (and, therefore, can be used while debugging the code). It is not adviced to use it instead of raising errors in exception handlers.
In Forms Builder, I never used DBMS_OUTPUT; when necessary, I use either MESSAGE or ALERT to communicate with end user.
As DBMS_OUTPUT can be used in PL/SQL block, I guess this line wouldn't raise compilation error, but also don't know what it does in Forms.
Can you search through this form for another appearance of DBMS_OUTPUT package? Is there any DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE there, for example? Where?
