Can we changer record orientation on Oracle forms?

Hi,
I have a form that displays many records and it refreshes using a timer
I need to display as many records as I can on the form, without the user having to scroll down, the maximum I can have at some point is 120 records. Now the records are displayed on the usual vertical behavior.
I thought if we can reverse the orientation of the records and display them horizontally, we can have more room if we turn(flip) the display (the user will have a 46" monitor)
my other question is, in case I could not fit all records in one screen, can the data scroll on the block without any user intervention, till it gets to the last record, and then it restart at the beginning?
I hope my explanation is clear
Thanks for the help

Bloody hell, that is bigger than my flatscreen TV!
You can scroll with next_record and when you get to the last record go back to the top with go_record(1).
begin
go_record(1);
loop
     dbms_lock.sleep(1);
     if :system.last_record = 'TRUE' then
            go_record(1);
            exit;
     else
        next_record;
        synchronize;
     end if;
end loop;
end;To add: this works best if you have a current record visual attribute.

Get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form

Hi,
I need to get three previous records of the current record in an Oracle Form
Sorry for the lengthy explanation:
I have a table name: ARCHIVE_DATA with column name: coll_time and its data type DATE.
SQL> SELECT COLL_TIME FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
COLL_TIME
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
12-AUG-05
10 rows selected.
SQL> select to_char(coll_time,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH:MI:SS') from ARCHIVE_DATA;
TO_CHAR(COLL_TIME)
12-aug-2005:02:42:00
12-aug-2005:02:43:00
12-aug-2005:02:44:00
12-aug-2005:02:45:00
12-aug-2005:02:46:00
12-aug-2005:02:47:00
12-aug-2005:02:48:00
12-aug-2005:02:49:00
12-aug-2005:02:50:00
12-aug-2005:02:51:00
10 rows selected.
This is the Requirement:
In a Form's Block(BLK1), for example: the current_record is the fifth record from the top
(i.e. 12-aug-2005:02:46:00)
When the fifth record is the current_record and When I click a button, three previous records of the
current_record should be populated on the screen.
See what I did:
I created another table same as the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) and its name is: THREE_RECS.
I am inserting three records from the first table(ARCHIVE_DATA) into the second table: THREE_RECS
which are less than the current record and ORDER BY DESC.
CANVAS:
Two blocks (BLK1, BLK2) based on ARCHIVE_DATA and THREE_RECS are on the same CANVAS.
But the first block (BLK1) which is based on the first table:ARCHIVE_DATA is populated with one record and the
second block (BLK2) is empty.
So when I click a particular button (ex: prev_recs), the second block(BLK2) should be populated with
three previous records of the current record( :BLK1.COLL_TIME)
(off course :BLK2 populates with one record and use arrows or scrollbar to get the other two records)
This is the code I wrote in the trigger and followed by the error:
1 BEGIN
2 DECLARE
3 cursor c1 IS
4           SELECT MONITOR_ID,
5               SAMPLE_ID,
6               COLL_TIME,
7               DEW_POINT
8          FROM ARCHIVE_DATA;
9 cursor c2(passing_date IN date) IS
10           SELECT MONITOR_ID,
11               SAMPLE_ID,
12               COLL_TIME,
13               DEW_POINT
14          FROM (SELECT MONITOR_ID,
15               SAMPLE_ID,
16               COLL_TIME,
17               DEW_POINT
18          FROM ARCHIVE_DATA
19          ORDER BY COLL_TIME desc)
20      WHERE COLL_TIME < passing_date;
21     BEGIN
22     FOR cur_rec in c1
23     LOOP
24          IF (cur_rec.COLL_TIME = to_date(:BLK.COLL_TIME,'dd-mon-yyyy:HH24:mi:ss')) then
25     FOR second_cur_rec in c2(second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME)
26          LOOP
27      IF c2%rowcount < 4 then
28               BEGIN
29               INSERT INTO THREE_RECS
30                    values(second_cur_rec.MONITOR_ID,
31                         second_cur_rec.SAMPLE_ID,
32                         second_cur_rec.COLL_TIME,
33                         second_cur_rec.DEW_POINT);
34               COMMIT;
35               END IF;
36 END LOOP;
37 END IF;
38 END LOOP;
39 END;
40 END;
This is the error I am getting:
Error 103 at line 14
Encountered the symbol "(" when expecting one of the following
a PL/SQL variable or double quoted string
an expanded name
an expanded name link
a table reference __expression
a key word
Resuming parse at line 126, column 46
Thanks in advance

Change C2 to:
cursor c2(passing_date IN date) IS
SELECT MONITOR_ID, SAMPLE_ID,
               COLL_TIME, DEW_POINT
    FROM ARCHIVE_DATA
    WHERE COLL_TIME < passing_date
    ORDER BY COLL_TIME desc;And rather than populating a table with the three records, you could just select the three records using: where COLL_TIME between Prev3_time and Prev1_time

How we can load change record in cube.

Hi,
How we can load change record in cube, (delta)
i need step by step in sap BI 7.0.

Hi Nitin
I hope you are asking about delta loads, if your datasource supports deltas then you can do only changed records from source to cube. To see the details goto ROOSOURCE table in ECC and find.
For further help search in SDN and help.sap.com, you can find n number of postiings about the same.

How to change image resolution in oracle forms.

Hi Experts,
I am working on oracle forms 10g (Windows7 OS). Can we get the image resolution of an image item in oracle forms? Can we resize the image in terms of resolution?
I have a requirement where user can upload only 1280x720 size images. Either i have to validate the image resolution and give them a message saying 'Only 1280x720 size images are allowed' or simply i have to convert the image to be upload to 1280x720 size and save in the database. If someone could give the solution for the above problem that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pramod SR

1. You need to resample.
2. You can automate the process.
1.
Open one of the images.
Go to Image > Image Size
Set the units to Percent (100)
Change the resolution to 300 ppi (not cm!)
Make sure Resample is checked
2. automation
Test the above steps to make sure it works.
Record the steps as an action.
Make a droplet from the action.
Drag the folder with the images to the droplet.

How to enable Multi-record select in Oracle Forms

Hi
we recently upgraded to R12 -- 12.1.3.
we have a requirement in which I should let the users select multiple records in a tabular Form (custom form).
Currently we have a custom form that displays Open sales orders with credit holds. After selecting the record, the user can release the hold on the order by clicking on a button. The requirement is for enabling selection of multiple records and release.
We have a similary functionality in 'Quick Sales Orders' form. In this form, multiple lines can be selected by pressing 'CTL' and clicking on the records.
I read about using APP_MULTI for this. But I couldnt figure out how to enable the multiple selection.
If someone could throw some light on this, it would be greatly helpful

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3291758/how-do-i-use-the-app-multi-package-to-support-multi-selection-in-my-oracle-form for steps/sample code.

Can't find VBean, IView and oracle.forms.* classes

I posted this on the JDeveloper's forum, with no luck obviously.
What settings need to be changed to be able to browse through oracle.forms.* classes?. I cannot extend VBean neither implement IView; when I try to recompile the demos from OTN I get errors telling me the directory oracle\forms\handler and others alike cannot be found.
Something curious is I can compile the source in JD 3.2 version and I cannot in version 9i.
Other thing is, when I create a new project in version 3.2 I can no longer see classes in the oracle.forms package.

To get the "Javadoc" for the iview interface check the online help of Forms for iView.
You didn't mention which version of oracle forms are you using. Are you using the Oracle9iDS install?
The oracle.forms.* classes are usually under the Java directory of a Forms installation.
If you are using Oracle9i JDeveloper you should be using Oracle9i Forms as well.

Hi,
I'm using PL39 and I can delete rows in matrix (you are right in previous patch there was an error, and it´s imposible to delete rows). I saw the code you put and I doesn´t undestand what you are trying to do. I explain what I do:
- I enable the menu 1293 to delete row in a matrix, in the menu event i put the following code
Dim oMtx As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix =
oMtx.FlushToDataSource()
This works for me.

WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('javascript:openMyURL("http://192.168.1.34/HELP/ADMF0005.html");', '_Self');
and in my formsweb.cfg I have the following
HTMLbeforeForm=<script> function OpenMyURL(page){window.open(page,"myURL","width=700,width=400,top=0,left=0,toolbar=no,menubar=no"); } </script>
When I click on the button it is coming with toolbar , etc as well as no page found is coming with the following in the address bar.
javascript:openMyURL("http://192.168.1.34/HELP/ADMF0005.html");

Changing prompt colour in oracle forms 6i to canvas background (solution)

One of the really infuriating things about Oracle Forms 6i (and possibly other versions) is that when you set a visual attribute for a item the prompt, as well ad field, takes that background colour. Seing it is common to have the field background white and the canvas background gray this is a paid. The following procedure sets the background colour for all prompts to the background colour of the canvas the prompts field sites on - i.e. it automaticaly sorts out the problem.
PROCEDURE lp_setup_prompt_colour IS
-- This procedure sets the background colour of all prompts to the
-- items canvas background colour
this_block varchar2(70) :=
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), first_block);
last_blockname constant varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise current block to first block
get_form_property (name_in ('SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM'), last_block); -- Define the last block
field_name varchar2(70); -- the name of the current item
this_item varchar2(70) := -- Initialise current item to the first item in the form
get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field varchar2 (70) := -- Initialise last item to the last item in the first block
get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
canvas varchar2(70);
begin
loop -- Go through every item in the form
field_name := this_block || '.' || this_item; -- set the current item
canvas := get_item_property( field_name, ITEM_CANVAS );
if canvas is not null then -- don't bother if null canvas item
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(field_name, PROMPT_BACKGROUND_COLOR,
GET_CANVAS_PROPERTY(canvas ,BACKGROUND_COLOR));
end if;
-- Stop looping once the last item in the form has been added to the list
exit when this_block = last_blockname and this_item = last_field;
if this_item = last_field then -- weve looped round and are back at first field
-- Step into the next block
this_block := get_block_property (this_block, nextblock);
this_item := get_block_property (this_block, first_item);
last_field := get_block_property (this_block, last_item);
else
-- Step to the next item in the block
this_item := get_item_property (field_name, nextitem);
end if;
end loop;
end;
