List of triggers which fire in enter query mode?

hello experts , please tell me list of forms trigger which fire in enter query mode?
thanks
yash

I don't believe there is a published list, but if you check the Forms help system the description of each trigger will tell you if it fires in "Enter Query" mode. Unfortunately, you will need to check each trigger in the help system and build your own list.

  • Form trigger - fire in enter query mode

    Hello,
    Could someone help me with the following problem, please?
    I want to create an key-exeqry and I want it to execute in enter-query mode. Unfortunatly Designer set's the property 'fire in enter query mode' for the trigger to 'No'. I can't find any setting to set it to 'Yes'. Does someone knows a setting or a work-around?
    I'm working with designer6/headstart6.
    Thanks in advance,
    Martine.

    Sandra,
    I tried to put the key-exeqry in the template. There's only one problem the key-exeqry is a 'in place of' trigger. When I put the code 'Null;' in the trigger, a generated form without a key-exeqry doesn't work because the 'key execute query' does nothing. A generated form with a key-execute query works fine.
    At the other hand, when I put the code 'Execute_query' in the trigger, a generated form without a key-exeqry works fine, but the other one doesn't.
    Which code should I include in the template-trigger?
    Thanks,
    Martine.

  • Initial Value in Enter Query Mode

    Hi Everyone,
    If you ever need to set a "visual" default (or initial) value for an item in Enter-Query mode, here is one solution to accomplish this:
    Create a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE trigger at the block level where the item is located. Make sure it can fire in Enter-Query mode.
    WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
    If :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' AND :system.cursor_item = <YourItemName> AND <YourItemName> IS NULL Then
        <YourItemName> := <TheInitialValue>;
    End If;You may wish to play with the "Keep Cursor Position" property of the item should you want the cursor to go back to the item position it was when the item was left.

    It seems that your solution described solves my problem expressed 2 months ago....
    I'll try it out....
    Thanks......

  • Starting form in Enter-Query mode disables some buttons on Smartbar

    Whenn I run a form (on the Web) which starts in Enter-Query mode, the buttons "Execute Query" and "Enter Query" are disabled on the Smartbar. Also the corresponding menu options are disabled. Besides, it is psossible to use the appropiate keys (in my case: F7 and F8).
    Has anyone experienced the same problem and is there a solution?
    Let me know.
    Thanx

    Frank: Thats what i thought too -but i saw (in other Sources) that it could be done, but how..
    Eugeniy I Duzhinskiy:
    So, many Thanks to you. It works fine !!!!
    (Its great to see there are some other Forms Users out there :) )

  • Triggers in enter query mode.......

    Hello folks,
    In enter query mode can make the when_validate_item trigger to fire????
    I set the fire in query mode but it seems that it doesn't work.....

    I am not sure what you want to accomplish in enter query mode within the when-validate trigger but the when-new-item-instance trigger will fire in enter query and may be a solution to your problem.

  • FRM-41361 Cannot navigate out of current form in Enter-Query Mode

    Hi All,
    I am getting the FRM-41361 error in the bottom message area when opening a form from the function navigator. The issue does not exist when opening the form from the application homepage. The form is loaded in enter-query mode, and the enter_query command is in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger. I have checked all triggers that fire after this point for any type of navigation but do not see any. The interesting thing is, if I put a fnd_message.set_string and fnd_message.show just before the enter_query call to debug, the issue goes away entirely.
    Is it possible there are security triggers firing after the form is loaded into enter-query mode that could be causing this and that the fnd_message calls are indeed buying time for those triggers to complete before the enter_query call?
    Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks!
    Dan

    Yes, when I looked through the triggers I made sure to look for go_block and go_item calls as well as any calls to leave the form.

  • FRM-40200 and FRM-40501 in Enter-Query-Mode

    Some strange behaviour in Enter-Query-Mode:
    Although the help states
    About Designing Forms for Querying+
    +.. To make a "query-only" block, set Query Allowed to Yes and Delete Allowed, Insert Allowed, and Update Allowed to No. ..+
    I get FRM-40200: Field is protected against update.
    System.Mode says, we are currently in ENTER-QUERY.
    Setting insert- and update-allowed to TRUE, I get
    FRM-40501: ORACLE error: unable to reserve record for update or delete.
    The entered character flashes and is erased immediately.
    Any ideas?
    Forms 10gR2
    Items are base table, all transactional properties aund query_allowed are true, query_length is ok.
    2 Things that happen before the initiation of the enter-query-mode:
    . data-source is changed to another view; column names are ok.
    . all block-items are disabled and not navigable at start-up of form and re-enabled and made navigable before entering the block.
    The values of block and item-properties mentioned above are take at WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE and no further trigger fire.

    I think you are not meaning just the KEY-ENTQRY-Trigger, that to easy
    IF INSTR(:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK, '_DETAIL') = 0
    +               AND :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK NOT IN ('VZG_KOPF','KONTROLL','BUTTONS','TEMP')+
    THEN
    +     ENTER_QUERY;+
    END IF;
    .. but the rest is a lil bit, let's call it bulky; including pll and db-packageges.
    I hoped to get a clue, if somebody has a similar expeience, in what direction to search. It's strange.
    And, as I noticed today, it's not a problem of all forms of the app. Not even of all the forms called from the same "environment" (same globals, same menu-form from which they are opened). To me it looks like Enter-Query does not work in the forms where I switch the block-data-source from a view to a globally temporary table. That (this switching) is not a new feature and Enter-Query worked in the past. Althoug we had some changes in the temp tables in the last weeks there are no problems in querying the data in the forms. Recompilation of pll and fmb, no improvement. And either Enter-Query woks in a form or it does not.

  • KEY-CERREC TRIGGER IN ENTER-QUERY MODE

    hi all,
    i want fire key-crerec trigger in enter-query mode, how it can be done.
    i am using oracle 10g r2.

    first: Why did you need such a trigger? In Enter-Query-Mode it is impossible to create new records.
    second: Forms has a problem with some triggers in some modes. That means, that some trigger didn't fire in enter-query, but in older versions of forms they do. So, maybe you run into one of this problems

  • Enter query - what was changed (entered) in enter query mode

    Hello,
    I need to know what criteria (values and items) an user entered (typed) when my form is in enter query mode.
    Thanks

    You can read about Pre-Query trigger in the Forms on-line help:
    About controlling queries with Pre-Query and Post-Query triggers
    The Pre-Query and Post-Query triggers allow control over query processing. They can be defined at the form or block level. Most often, attach them to specific blocks to control the query functionality of those blocks.
    The Pre-Query trigger fires just before Form Builder issues the SELECT statement to the database, after the operator has defined the example record by entering query criteria in Enter Query mode.
    Inside a Pre-Query trigger, the example record defined by the query criteria is the current record. This means that trigger code can read and set the values of items in the example record using standard :block_name.item_name syntax.
    A Pre-Query trigger can be used to disallow query conditions that might be invalid. When a form is in Enter Query mode, normal validation is suspended and no validation triggers fire as they do in Normal mode. The Pre-Query trigger thus allows you to verify that any values entered by the operator are valid query conditions.
    When invalid query conditions have been entered, you can abort the query by raising the FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE built-in exception in the Pre-Query trigger.
    You can also call SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY to modify the block's WHERE and ORDER BY clauses from within the Pre-Query trigger, to further restrict or order the records the query will retrieve.
    I hope this will help you.

  • Enter-Query Mode

    I'm interested in starting a discussion on the restrictions of
    Enter-Query Mode, principally, why can you not navigate to a
    query only block whilst in this form mode? I have successfully
    implemented an full Query functionality without using the
    default forms behaviour, and wonder if there are any
    disadvantages that I have overlooked.

    Hi there,
    Its quite involved, I have some documentation that goes some way
    to describing the problem/solution, but briefly I find that when
    in 'Enter-Query' mode (system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY') there are
    two restrictions
    1) You cannot navigate to another block. This is useful in a
    number of cases, like if you want to implement a more powerful
    List of Values facility, or provide the user a seperate screen
    to build up complex query criteria
    2) If you write a trigger that uses 'enter_query' built in,
    processing stops at this point. The standard workaround for this
    is to start a timer before the call to 'enter_query', and when
    the timer expires it performs the processing you want to do
    after 'enter_query'.
    So, I decided to rewrite the default forms enter/execute query
    processing (which was pretty straightforward), so my forms never
    go into 'Enter-Query' mode. What I am interested in is if there
    is anything that using the default forms processing gives, that
    I may have missed!

  • FRM:41361 Cannot navigate out of form in 'Enter Query Mode'

    Hi,
    I am using a master - detail block in my form.When I query the master block I am getting this error message
    FRM:41361 Cannot navigate out of form in 'Enter Query Mode'
    I have given DO_KEY('ENTER-QUERY') in WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger of master block.
    and in property palette of Master block I have given the next navigation block as Detail block.
    According to the value which is queried in Master Block the Detail block should be populated.
    My form should open in 'Enter Query Mode'.This problem always happens from second time onwards
    I open the form.When I open the form first time this problem is not occuring.
    Can anyone suggest a solution for this
    Thanks,
    Nasiya

    Have you written a Key-EntQuery trigger at the Master block or the form level,
    If yes, then can you put that code here.
    The NEXT-NAVIGATION-BLOCK is only used for navigation when you use a next-block built-in on a key-trigger.
    Have you written a ENTER-QUERY command on any trigger that fires prior to the said WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger?
    If yes, then thats the reason that the first time you run the form, your form is in ENTER-QUERY mode.
    Also, maybe execute on enter-query fails and hence the blocks are not getting populated.
    Also, ENTER-QUERY is always on a single block. And while the block is in enter-query mode, navigation out of that block is prohibited.
    you have to either have a successful EXECUTE-QUERY or use:
    EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE) to come out of ENTER-QUERY mode.

  • [Solved] Problem with LOV and 'enter query' mode

    Hi all,
    I'm kind of new to Forms and I'm having some problems that I'm not being able to resolve. I already search it on the net, but nothing relevant came up. If anyone could help me I appreciated it.
    In my form I have some fields, and in one of them I have a LOV, and almost everything works fine. I inserted data, changed it, deleted it and all it's ok.
    But when I change to 'enter query' mode, when I try to search for data on the LOV field it ignores what I write.
    That is, for it, it's the same if I make F11 -> write 'aaaa' -> ctrl + F11 or if I make F11 -> '%' -> ctrl + F11.
    It behaves the same way, shows me all the records.
    Probably I'm missing something basic, but I'm not getting it...
    Thanks,
    Ana

    when you create a lov by wizard the lov and record group have always the same name..
    the problem is that the item is NOT based in the tabe.
    what kind of query do you execute if you choose something from a love which is not based on the db?
    i mean, this item has no influence on the query of the table, so whatever you choose it's like a "select * from table"
    i hope i was clear

  • Hotkey "Create Record" while the form is in enter-query-mode

    pressing the hotkey F6 for create-record while the block is in enter-query-mode results in the error - message:
    Function key not allowed. Press Ctrl+F1 for list of valid keys.
    The error-occurs although I created a trigger KEY-CREREC. The trigger isn't executed
    In older Forms versions the behaviour was different. Is there a way to let the form work like in the old versions?

    thnx for reply.Problem not solved.
    i m trying to assign the value of text item to a variable in pre-query trigger. i m able to get the value into variable when the string in the text item does not startwith <,>,=. but when the string starts with any one of the operator (<,>,=) it gives error.
    lenth of variable is 1000 charaters, and text item's max leanth is just 4 charactres.

  • Disabling LOVs when not in enter query mode

    hello. I currently have a form in which a master block populates a detail block. when the master is populated the cursor automatically goes to the detail block and sets it to enter query mode (due to the face that there are multiple details but the user may only view one at a time). To select the appropriate detail the user may select the detail from a LOV which is activated by clicking a button. once the detail has been selected and the query executed there is no real need for the LOV as the user can now edit/delete the detail. Also when adding a new detail there would be no need for the LOV as the presence of it would only confuse users. So basically the only time the LOV is usefull is during query mode to query the detail the user wants to edit/delete.
    In your experiance how would you acheive this result?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    well you can write a trigger Key-listval on your LOV item to check the mode of the block
    if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
        list_values;
    end if;LOV will only display in enter query mode only

  • [ Forms10g2 ] Default item value in Enter-Query mode

    Hello!
    How could I specify default value for an item in Enter-Query mode? E.g. I press KEY-ENTQRY, and :L_YEAR item gots current year as a default search condition (though it may change). I've tried to implement it this way:
    <pre>
    Enter-Query;
    :l_year := extract(year from sysdate);
    </pre>
    This work in a rather awkward way. If I run this once (e.g. as a result of a hotkey press), it just enters Enter-Query mode, but if I run this twice (by pressing hotkey second time) it fills :year variable and does search with it as a search condition! Then, I've tried to go straight and wrote:
    <pre>
    Enter-Query;
    :l_year := extract(year from sysdate);
    Enter-Query;
    :l_year := extract(year from sysdate);
    </pre>
    Well, this didn't work. And SYNCRONIZE call before the second Enter-Query didn't help either. So, my questions are: 1) how can I achieve needed behaviour? 2) What's going on in my experiments? Why :L_YEAR gets assigned on second keypress (as in first experiment) but not on second subsequent call (as in second experiment)?
    Thanks in advance!

    I don't know why that won't work but I have something which might:
    when-new-record-instance trigger:
    if :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' then
      :l_year := extract(year from sysdate);
    end if;It's always best to use both the block and item names...:block.l_year
