User may request you for enabling or disabling menu for File -> Export in Oracle Forms.

Take a note, File ->Export works itself on the basis of User Cursor Control.

1. If Cursor control is at block where we can view multiple records at a time, the Export function is enabled.

2. If Cursor control is at block where we can view single record at a time, the Export function is disabled.

The reason for providing this functionality is that if there are many records in a block, then it might be difficult for the user to scroll down to view all the records in that block. So, the user can actually export them using the Export function.

Moreover there is no profile option which gives you control for this function.
