When-validate-item trigger restriction on open form or call form

W have when-validate-item trigger. I need to place a code here that will bring up a form when the "valid entry" on the item has been made. I am getting a frm-40737:Illegal restricted procedure COMMIT...
Code snippet on the procedure that I am calling from the when-validate-item:
IF :System.Form_Status = 'CHANGED' THEN
Commit_Form;
end if;
Call_Form ('MY_FORM', HIDE, NO_REPLACE, NO_QUERY_ONLY,'PARAM');
Is there a work-around. We also cannot use timers here.
Any help is appreciated?
TIA

Thanks Sudha, I tested and it worked with the key-next-item trigger.
The only thing though, I was told that the users will not use the enter key when they navigate out of the field, it is either clicking on an exit button or function key F4...so I am still stuck with the same problem.
This site is really helpful and I hope to receive more ideas.
Thanks!

Question on WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM Trigger in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am working with a form which has two different database blocks. When I enter some valid data in block 1 and hit tab, a key-nxtblk trigger navigates the cursor to the next block. Now this second block has some fields which were disabled at the design time and I have a procedure which sets the properties of these items to enabled when required during runtime. From the first run, when I run this procedure and go to one of these items which has no data filled in yet and press tab, when-validate-item trigger is fired (I am confused with this kind of behavior).
Does anyone know why is it firing when-validate-item trigger and if yes how can we fix it?
My goal is to disable Block2.Item2 only if Block2.Item1 has some value in it.
Can anyone please look into it?
Thanks for your time.

Thanks Steve, Vikas and Craig for your valuable suggestions.
Craig, to answer your question, I have no "Copy Value from Item" or "Synchronize with Item" property set on these disabled fields.
To elaborate my problem, I have three non database items in a database block. I have to set the properties during the runtime. Suppose the fields are named as field1, field2, field3. Now I have to have when-validate-item triggers on each item with the following content.
WVI trigger on field1
IF field1 IS NULL
THEN
      activate field2 and field3.
ELSE
      Disable field2 and field3.
END IF;
WVI trigger on field2
IF field2 IS NULL
THEN
      activate field1 and field3
ELSE
      Disable field1 and field3.
END IF;
WVI trigger on field3
IF field3 IS NULL
THEN
      activate field1 and field2
ELSE
      Disable field1 and field2.
END IF;I have a procedure which is called in WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger to assign NULL to some fields and set the properties in the block and during this process when I first run the form, the record_status is set to NEW and after setting some fields to NULL the record_status is changed to INSERT. But both the times when-validate-item trigger on each of the fields 1,2, & 3 are fired. No matter we enter any value or not.
can you help in understanding the mistake I am doing or fixing this?
Thanks for your time.

Workarounds for clear_form in when-validate-item trigger

Hi,
I'm using forms6i
I want to call clear_form in when-validate-item trigger.
Since they are restricted procedures, i cant do that.
So what are the workarounds available?
There are items which are in control block and also records of a datablock available in the form,
I want to clear everything(control block items and datablock items)
Thanks

ThanksYou want the clear the form when you fire when-validate-item trigger
inside the when-validate-item trigger after you commit
COMMIT_FORM;
if form_success then
GO_ITEM(-------);
clear_form(no_validate,full_rollback); EXECUTE_TRIGGER('WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE');

FRM-40735: When-Validate-Item trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01861

Dear all, I runned a form designed by Developer 2000 version 4.5 and encountered a puzzling problem. The same program could be runned on one computer but not in another one. The error message is as below: FRM-40735: When-Validate-Item trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01861. The OS of both computers are windows 2000 professional. The only difference between two computers is the patch files didn't installed on one of them. I don't know if it is the key point. Could you tell me why?
Thank you!!!

I sure wish people would post the entire text of the error message. "ORA-01861: literal does not match format string."
What kind of field are you trying to validate? This message is usually due to a date format error. If you are trying to convert text into a date without using TO_DATE('some text','date-format'), then that is the problem. It sounds like you are, and the database default date format is different between the two systems.

Issue with WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger in Forms 6i

I am working with a form(A) which displays a modal window(B) with some database fields on it when a button on the form was pressed.
First as soon as I pressed the button on the form A the modal window B appears with the values as (for example)
Scenario - 0
field 1 - OTHER
field 2 - 123-456
field 3 - 14-JUN-2006
field 4 - Old Contract
Scenario - 1
If field 1 is changed/updated to a value NONE then the remaining fields should grey out and should not allow the user to edit/update those fields. Also it should clear all the data in the fields and should display only blank fields. Now the only updatable field in this case is field 1 which has value NONE at this moment.
field 1 - NONE
field 2 - NULL
field 3 - NULL
field 4 - NULL
Only if the user exits the modal window B and clicks on SAVE button which is on the form A then only the data changes are committed to the database tables.
At this moment I don't want to exit the modal window B which means the data changes are not yet committed to the database.
Scenario - 2
Now if field 1 is again changed/updated to a value ANOTHER then the remaining fields has to be populated accordingly using the values from the form A and B and it should allow the user to edit/update the remaining fields in window B.
field 1 - ANOTHER
field 2 - 123-456
field 3 - 14-JUN-2006
field 4 - Old Contract
Now if you observe Scenario - 0 and Scenario - 2 only field 1 is differing. Rest of the three fields are same. As I didn't exit from the modal window the changes were not committed to the database.
If the order of the scenarios is like below:
Case1 : Scenario - 1 & Scenario - 2
Case2 : Scenario - 1 & Scenario - 0
I am able to successfully handle the above two cases as initially the three other fields are set to NULL and the user will be able to update the data and can commit the data.
If the order of the scenarios is like below:
Case3 : Scenario - 0 & Scenario - 1
Case4 : Scenario - 0 & Scenario - 2
I am also able to successfully handle the above two cases as finally the three other fileds are set to NULL and the user will be not be able to modify them and obviously NULL values will be stored in the database when committed.
Now the problem is with the following order.
Case5 : Scenario - 0 & Scenario - 1 & Scenario - 2
Case6 : Scenario - 2 & Scenario - 1 & Scenario - 0
In the above cases we can successfully handle until Scenario - 1 but when comes to Scenario - 2 how can we be able to display the data as shown.
I have tried to perform this using WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM on field 1. When the field 1 is changed from OTHER to NONE I have assigned NULL to the remaining fields. So it's working fine as I mentioned earlier. Now if I change field 1 from NONE to ANOTHER its allowing to update the remaining fields but its not populating the data.
Can anyone help with this?
Thanks for the patience in reading the problem....

Yes, if you use the debugger as Gerd said you can get and see the data as the code executes line-by-line. You can also use message statements in your code to display the data.

WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM results at a block/form

Hello friends at www.oracle.com ,
as we know, WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM is a trigger used for item validation. But if I use WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM at a block, or even at a form (since Oracle Forms editor allows me to add a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger at a block/form), what's the effect of it? How will WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM behave in such situation?
Thanks, and best regards,
Franklin Gongalves Jr.

From forms documentation (ever considered to read it?):
A trigger must be attached to a specific object in the form, either an item, a block, or the form itself. The object to which a trigger is attached defines the scope of the trigger, and so helps Form Builder decide which trigger to fire when the corresponding event occurs. Not all triggers are relevant to all objects. For example a When-Button-Pressed trigger would not be attached to a display item.
That means, a when-validate-item-trigger at block level fires for ALL items of the block,
except those ones who have an own when-validate-item-trigger at item level that has the
property "Execution hierarchy" set to "override".

In Oracle Forms, to run all the When-Validate-Item of all the items at once

In Oracle Forms, is there any built-in / procedure / function which is used to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the Items at once ?
I will put it in detail :
When a form is run and while entering the data..
when we enter some data and try to move out of that item then the When-Validate-Item trigger of that item is fired and the code in that trigger is executed..
Similarly there may be many items and many When-Validate-Item triggers correspondigly in a form..
My requirement is to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of a form at once when we click a button which is created for that purpose only..
So is there any built-in / procedure / function (to run all the When-Validate-Item triggers of all the items), which can be called in the When-Button-Pressed trigger of that particular button..
If any one having any solution/suggestion, please let me know..
Thanks..

Hi Sandy,
Thanks for your suggestion..
The validations should be done at Item level (When-Validate-Item as usually) and seperately again when a button is pressed.
So to put all the code in another block-level When-Validate-Item trigger or in any When-Button-Pressed trigger will be duplication of the code.
Actually I have around 30 Fmbs to be modified and each Fmb is having around 20 Items and almost all Items are having When-Validate-Item trigger.
So,I wanted to know whether there is any Built-in / Procedure in Oracle Forms which runs all the When-Validate-Item triggers once it is called.
Thanks..

WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM Restrictions???

How we overcome the restriction next-item,go-item
under WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM?
My requirement is once something entered into text box
it should validate with the database for correctness and then
if info is correct then it should move to
next item else it should remain in the same item
by populating some error message or info message.

Faheem,
What you desire should be normal operation. If some data is entered into the field then the return or tab key is pressed, The when-validate-item trigger is fired to do the validation, then the key-next-item is fired, which you hopefully have configured to move on to the next item (it will do this by default unless you have a key-others to overide it)
If this is not happening, you need to look at you triggers and figure out why not.

How to use when-validate-item in the form personalization?

Dear all,
I want to use when-validate-item trigger in the form personalization on a specific item. while in the same time the when-validate-item is not included in the trigger event list.
Please advice & Thanks in advance
Ashraf Ashour

Use condition. If you are validating a record, just out the desired check in the condition field for that specific item.
Thanks

When-validate-item at form level do not fire

Hi, I wrote a when-validate-item at form level to do same check in all items of a screen and note that this trigger do not fire when executing the form. does someone know why this form-level when-validate item do not fire. Are there some conditions i probably forgot to have? Thnaks very much.

Hi, if you also have a validate-item trigger on the item itself, this may be overriding the form-level validate item.
At the ITEM-LEVEL:
if a when-validate-item trigger exists and the Execution Hierarchy property of the trigger is set to override then the item-level trigger will fire instead of any trigger by the same name at any higher scope.
So make sure you do not have validate-item triggers at the item or block level that may be overriding the form-level when-validate-item.
To see the properties of a trigger, highlight the trigger and press F4
Hope this helps!

Dangers of calling restricted procedures from when-validate-item

As you'll all know, you cannot call the restricted procedure go_item from within the when-validate-item trigger.
I've read that it is possible to get round this utilising timers, and I have managed to get this working.
However, I cannot help but think such procedures must be restricted for a reason. Therefore, I'd like to know if there are any known problems that might arise from implementing timers to call restricted procedures?
Thanks

Certain types of triggers can't call restricted procedures because there is internal navigation or validation going on during the trigger execution, and the restricted procedures could mess that up. However, when you use a timer, the restricted procedure doesn't execute until after the trigger has finished, so the internal navigation/validation is complete. Because of this, the timer technique is a safe one. If it's a non-repeating timer, it should have very little effect on network traffic and performance.
