About global variables in forms personalization

Hi all,
I did forms personalzation based on global variables.
When when i login for the first time untill and unless i validated the global variables the following error is displaying.
Tokens in the string could not be evalated. please check the syntax.
Once i validated the global variables then it will working fine.
Did any of you have faced this problem please let me know the solution.
Thanks and Regards
Zaheer.

How to create a global variable in forms 6i

How to create a global variable in forms 6i

:GLOBAL.my_var := 15; Well, this statement is not correct! Global variables
stores a character string of up to 255 characters in
length. Thus, valid statement for Khurram example
is:
:GLOBAL.my_var := TO_CHAR(15);
or
:GLOBAL.my_var := '15';
But numeric values are implicitly converted by oracle so there's nothing in fact wrong with the statement...
:GLOBAL.my_var := 15;
;)

Ok, so, what characterset was your database created with?
Does that characterset have a representation of that character?

Referencing Global Variable in Forms DDL (Form Personalization R12)

Team,
I'm saving a profile option in a Global variable GLOBAL.FLINV_PROFILE_VALUE when a form opens.
Then I am clearing the variable using Forms DDL and calling FND_PROFILE.SAVE function.
I need to then reset the profile option with a second call to FND_PROFILE.SAVE. I'm trying to use Forms DDL, i.e.
DECLARE
a BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
a := fnd_profile.SAVE ('PER_SECURITY_PROFILE_ID'
, '''||:global.flinv_profile_value||'''
, ''USER''
, ''1110''
, NULL
, NULL
END;
but I'm not finding a proper way to pass that global variable. Is there a way to reference these variables in the DDL? Should I use 'Call a procedure' and format the call differently?
Any ideas are welcome.
Joe

Not sure why your using an anonymous block. Personalization rules should look like the following in a *.ldt file.

Global Variables Vs Form Library Package Variables Vs DB Package Variables

I realise this question has been asked a few times with varying degrees of answers, but I am still seeking comment/advice from others.
I am aware of following options for retaining persistent data to share between forms.
1. Package variables in a library that you share in a session.
This requires usage of SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA, there is risk that this not set, then does not share data.
2. Package variables in a database package.
Requires round trip to DB. Is this expensive for performance?
What about risk of DB package becoming invalid and losing state?
3. Use global variables
Can be tricky to manage.
4. Use parameters
Only one way, ie called form cannot alter value that caller can see.
Packages are closest to OO approach in using get and set modules. Allows all variables to be managed in one location. This appears best practice.
Forms library packages appear risky if caller does not include SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA.
DB packages have cost of round trip to DB. Does this become expensive is have to reference many times. Also topic of DB package becoming invalid and losing state?
Forms global variables have regular disadvantages of globals, ie not sure who may modify. Need to manage carefully. Text only
As a second related question, for value such as current user, for performance (and maintainability) is it better to obtain this from oracle user function each time, or save somewhere (in one of options above) and use that saved value each time.

My personal opinion:
I like the "packaged" version with getters and setters. In general, i create a client-side package in a pll which has methods to access the value by getters and setters. With that, the "implementation" is encapsulated and doesn't really matter to the rest of your system. All modules have to access the value using the getter and setter.
Inside the procedure i use two approaches:
1. If its for communication purposes between different forms i use globals, which are filled or extracted in the getter and setter (see this http://andreas.weiden.orcl.over-blog.de/article-28180655.html )
2. If its for someother purpose where the value should be "session persistent" i use a database package with getters and setters, which are called from the client-side package getter and setter. If the value is quite "constant" throughout the session, i read the value once at initialization code of the client-side package and the getter just returns that "cached" value
Hope this helps.

About global variables

can any one please help me how to declaru and use global variables in oracle forms. i want to pass the details entered in one form to another form. i am unable to do this.
please some one say how to do this.

vivek
you have to use following keyword to declare a Global variable with no datatype
:GLOBAL.VARIABLENAME
you may initialize the global variable with your text filed or some stativ value like
:GLOBAL.VARIABLENAME := :Field

Newbie thread about global variables and result set

Hello everyone this is my first post, im from colombia and now im learning about this world !! the WCC !!
Now im doing a practice but im so noob that i cant get it so far... i wrote some of the oracle documentation.. and it was so usefull for starting.. but now im trying to do custom components builded in java + resources + services + template etcc .. all good stuff :D.
i want to retrieve a result set coming from a custom service ... and then i want to store this result set in some kind of global variable !! why ? because i want to use this data from the result set again and again without making more call to the service !!
ive tried to copy this resultset but i think it cant be done because i use a popUp window to display the rows from the RS.. and when i close the window .. it dies!!
i want to use this RS for 3 custom metadata field.. but i have no idea how to do this....
this is a part of my custom resource
<$if fieldName like "xElaborador"$>
<$executeService("SERVICE_ALLUSERS")$>
<$trace(" ### executing service ###","#log")$>

<$nuevoRS="usuarios_LDAP"$>
<$endif$>

<$if rsExists("usuarios_LDAP")$>
<$if rsFirst("usuarios_LDAP")$>
<$loop usuarios_LDAP$>
<$trace(" ### inside RS ###","#log")$>
<$include each_user_LDAP$>
<$endloop$>
<$else$>
<$include therearenotusers$>
<$endif$>
<$endif$>

<$if fieldName like "xRevisor"$>
<$if rsExists("nuevoRS")$>
<$if rsFirst("nuevoRS")$>
<$loop nuevoRS$>
<$trace(" ### inside rs for revisor ###","#log")$>
<$include each_user_LDAP$>
<$endloop$>
<$else$>
<$include therearenotusers$>
<$endif$>
<$endif$>
<$endif$>
pls tell me if im too lost im all ears to learn the good practices for this tool.

1: property: use of local variable :Y
Object Type:ITEM
Target Object:NEW_DOCUMENT.DOCUMENT_NUMBER
property : Value
Text: = ${var.XXNUM.value}

Question about global variable scope in mxml

Let's say I have two files, myApp.mxml and EntryClass.as, as
attached at the end of this post.
Why does mxmlc complain with this error message:
quote:
/path/to/EntryClass.as(4): col: 7 Error: Access of undefined
property myChart.
myChart.graphics.drawRect(100,100,100,100);
^
According to devguide_flex3.pdf,
quote:
The IDs for all tags in an MXML component, no matter how
deeply nested they are, generate public variables of the component
being defined. As a result, all id properties must be unique within
a document. This also means that if you specified an ID for a
component instance, you can access that component from anywhere in
the application: from functions, external class files, imported
ActionScript files, or inline scripts.
So how does one reference these public variables?

Forms personalization - passing a parameter to a concurrent request

I am using forms personalization to give the user the ability to submit a concurrent request from the 'Actions' menu of the form. I would like to be able to pass a field from the form to a parameter of the concurrent request. I know how to set a global variable using forms personalization. Does anyone know how I could use this variable as the default value for the parameter in the concurrent request? (e.g. The concurrent program uses PO number as a parameter - I'd like to be able to pass the PO number from the form to the concurrent request.)

Question about using constant variables in Forms

As I am still very new to Forms, please forgive my ignorance if the answer to my question is very simple. I am trying to figure out how to use constant variables within my Forms application. For example, if I want to setup return code constants for the application (mind me, these are examples):
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
Then in a module I created, if I wanted to check the return code against one of the constants I would do:
DECLARE
rc PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
GET_YEAR_DATA('2000', rc);
IF rc = RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
-- Do some error handling
END IF;
END;
I know that you can declare constants within individual procedures or packages but I can't see to find information on how to do this globally for the application. I've read about using global variables within Forms but the CHAR data type only and the fact the value can be changed doesn't really fit for this purpose. Am I missing something? Is there a config file or something for the webserver that can be used to set these up??
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

To declare constants create a Package-Specification in a pll and deifne all your constants there, something like:
PACKAGE PK_CONSTANTS IS
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
END;Then attach that pll to all your forms-modules, and use it like
IF rc = PK_CONSTANTS.RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
END IF;A word about exceptions or errors: In my eyes its clearer (and in case of exceptions even better) to raise an exception than to hide it behind return-codes.

Global Variable in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
How & where to define global variable in Oracle form 6i and also let me know how to access it.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Sanket

hi
Global variable are forms specifice variable.
it can store character value upto 255 for all usages.
We can initialize it when we declare otherwise give error if we did not assign it any value.
Oracle 10g it can take upto 4000 bytes
GLOBAL.ur_globalvar := TO_CHAR(15);
or
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= '15';
or
Remmber numeric values are implicitly converted by oracle 2 character
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar:= 15;
-- which can then subsequently be accessed using...
:GLOBAL.ur_globalvar;
-- To destroy a global variable and release its memory, use the ERASE built-in procedure:
Erase('GLOBAL.my_var'); Regards,
