How to find Oracle forms that use a column in Solaris ?

I am trying to find all the oracle forms that have text item invoice_id in Solaris ( SunOS 5.10)

If I use

Code:
grep -i -l 'invoice_id' *

I get only those oracle forms that have 'invoice_id' in the PL/SQL code.
I want to find all the oracle forms that use invoice_id column in their datablocks.
Please let me know how can I find those oracle forms ?

Thanks
Meghana

If you try to edit (vi or vim) any one of the forms you will see why grep does not work.
Oracle forms files have munged characters in them. I do not know of a tool to unscramble those characters.
