host allows you to call things from the command line. If you don't know how to call these programs from the command line then this is the wrong place to ask, since they're not oracle products. I'd start by looking in the programs documentation.

exception 
  when form_trigger_failure then
    null;
    message('OK');

So what does that mean? Read in plain English: when form fails, do nothing and say "OK".

If I were your end-user, I'd be happy thinking that everything went just fine ("OK"). I might find myself puzzled a few moments later.
