Call a form by name

We have a Portal form on multiple servers. The form name is identical however the module id numbers are different. When calling the form from a page, it is necessary to hard code the module id into the button or link requiring three sets of code; one for each server instance.
Is there a method or API available whereby I can obtain the module ID of a form? This will make the code more portable and not require hardcoding of module values. Thanks.

HI,
There is an api called wwv_utlmod.get_module_id. This takes two parameters, module name and owner.
owner is optional.
Usage
wwv_utlmod.get_module_id (p_module_name => 'TEST_FORM',
p_owner => 'PORTAL30_DEMO');
If the dbuser does not have privileges to run wwv_utlmod then grant it to that user.
Thanks,
Sharmila

How to call a form from one form to another form with parameter..

i'm having a from that will shows the info about the orders that the client has. and i want to show the information of the client. for that i have created one form and i want to call the form from my current form with the given client name as a parameter. then the client_info form has to query with the given parameter. so im passing the :client_order_info.client_name as parameter to the call_form('client_info.fmx',:client_order_info.client_name); but my question is how to access that parameter in the client_info form.. plz help me.. i tried a lot ..

Create a parameter (object navigator -> parameters) with the name client_name and you can access that value in your client info form using :PARAMETER.client_name.
P.S. while calling you can pass parameter using 'cilent_name =>' to make sure that the correct parameter is getting assigned to the value.

Urgent:Error While calling one form from another form

Hi,
i am using a form in which zoom functionality is enabled.From this form if i am clicking view->zoom it should open another form which should accept two parameters from the first form.But whenever i am clicking on zoom its giving the following error.
FRM-47023:No such parameter named G_QUERY_FIND exists in form
XX_EMPLOYEE_CONVERSION(Name of the form which i am calling from first form)
When i am clicking 'ok' then it shows the error
FRM-40105:Unable to resolve reference to item PARAMETER.G_QUERY_FIND
Eventhough i have developed my form using template.fmb which uses the parameter G_QUERY_FIND why this error is coming?
Can anyone suggest a solution for this.
Thanks in advance

PARAMETER.G_QUERY_FIND is one of he objects in the APPSTAND.fmb. You will need to Subclass all of the objects in APPSTAND.fmb in your custom form. If you do not have a copy of this file in your FORMS60_PATH, I suggest you put a copy there. If you don't have a FORMS60_PATH specified then I would highly suggest adding this entry to your Forms Home in the Registry. Also, you will want all of the libraries in the AU_TOP/Resources folder as well.
I also suggest looking at the Oracle Applications Developer's Guide (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25284_01/current/acrobat/115devg.pdf) as it outlines all of the required objects you must have in your form and reports.
Hope this helps.

How to call another form ,if option is entered in a text item object ???

hi ,
I am created an application ,where in i press a button which call another form having a menu .
I select any one of the option from the menu ....i enter a number in the text item object of this form ....depending upon what option i have typed .....i would like to call another form ...
My questions are
1) Which trigger of this text item should be enabled,and what code to i write in this trigger ?
2) Since this form is not having any database insert,delete ,update or query (select)
it should directly go to the new form,whose option i provide in the text item .
Sunny

hey bro, i am assuming that ur text item contains the form name, any relevant trigger can be used for user action, like key-enter, post-change or key-next-item.
to run a form u can use functions call_form or open_form with proper paramters.
if u want to forward the entered text in the item, use global variable for the session.
it doesnt matter if the form contains database items or blocks, all u have to do is run the form.
e.g,
declare
VAR VARCHAR2-------;
begin
/* u can use the variable to concatinate or modify too, also can use global variable
var:=:urblock.uritem;
/* use ur own relevant parameters */
open_form(VAR,ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION);
exception
when---------
end;

How to call a form by JfPreamble

Hello,
can i call a form with JfPreamble without call through files.dat
I had inserted ^form module name.mdf in the jfPreamble but when i launch the test for presentment appear an error : Error '-14' from print module. Make sure the 'Output to' or 'Print to' location is valid - Print job aborted.
Can you help me???
Thanks
Mat.

I don't think that the above error was caused by the ^form in the jfpreamble.
However, putting a ^form in the jfpreamble does cause an error: "Recursive file open request. File 'JFPREAMBLE' in 'JFPREAMBLE'.".

How to call the form bean value on jsp withthe help of jstl tag

i am working in struts & i use jstl tag in jsp. i have one problem rise is how to call the form bean value in jsp page by using jstl tag.
i now how to retrive the value through jsp:logic
eg. <logic:empty name="userListForm" property="users">
NO USER FOUND
</logic:empty>
see * userListForm mean formbaen name.
* users means collection object.
so how can i write above e.g in jstl

You use the jstl core:if or core:choose combined with the EL:
<c:if test="${empty users.userListForm}">

Call Oracle Forms 6i from UNIX

Hi,
I am new to Oracle forms and I have some querries -
I have a form created on windows environment (.fmb/.fmx). This form accepts a parameter in a text field and calls another Oracle Report. Now my questions are:
1. If windows forms are not compatible with UNIX environment, then how these are converted to be compatible with UNIX/Linux (without re-creating them on different platform)?
2. Can I call the same form from UNIX shell with input as a shell script input?
3. And if answer to the second query is no, then can I invoke Web deplyed froms (on application server) using shell? and how..
I w'd appreciate your help!
Regards.

hello
please provide forms6i (on web?,client server?),OS version.
im Assumed your using character mode.

yes you can call it forms use : f60run forms.fmx username/password@tns
report : rwrun60c yourreportname.rdf username/password@tns destype=file desname=a.lis
but always use HOST command inside the forms, also to send to the printer name that is configured to your server.
host ('rwrun60c /dsk8/ciame/rcption/wagih/reportname xxx/xxxn@xxx batch=yes destype=file desname=$user_output/'||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||'.lis tty_office_no='||to_char(:blk1.office_no)||' tty_emp_no='||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||' tty_rcpt_no='||to_char(:blk2.rcpt_mst_receipt_no)||' tty_rpt_type=0;
lp -d $lp01 -c $user_output/'||to_char(:blk1.office_emp_no)||'.lis',NO_PROMPT);
and if you call another form then you can use open_form,call_form,,... inside the form. Be sure you add in the library your wroking folder.
edit your user profile .
Study this as a case : this is the profile of our mis user in our old character based system.

Type conflict when calling a FORM

Hi,
when we have callled function module "PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT" in out HR-ABAP program then shows the short dump as:
procedure "PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by
RAISING clause.
Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
Call to FORM "IMPORT_RESULT" is incorrect:
The actual parameter no. 2 has a different data type in the
PERFORM than requested for the FORM "IMPORT_RESULT" in program "%_T02E40".
Please provide the solution any one.
regards,

In the function module PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT the call to this form is dynamic:
PERFORM import_result IN PROGRAM (subroutine_pool-name)
                                   USING key
                                          payroll_result
                                          import_subrc
                                          pcl2_version_number
                                          typepool_version_number
                             IF FOUND.
As you can see second parameter is payroll_result which is also a changing parameter of the function module PYXX_READ_PAYROLL_RESULT, however it is untyped in the interface of the function module. Therefore, you probably do not supply the function module with the variable of the correct type. My suggestion is to place a break point on the SUBMIT statement, check the content of the subroutine_pool-name, find the program that is called, read its source and determine the right type from there.

Debug dynpro + call script form

Hello ,
I have a req, I need to debug the few dynpro, and one of the dynpro is calling a form and I have to figure it out, which form is this ( and from where it is called ). I have never worked with script form before, can any one let me know how I can figure it out that ( how to call a form, I mean it should be statemnt like, call form .... or ) ?
One another thing, I went into the coding, and there I see the screen ( in execution mode, the screen shows some button, ( e.g show , and after pressing this button show ,the form appers ), but when I went in flowlogic of the screen, I cant see those button ?
Any idea....
Regards,

Shah,
Do like this.You might be pressing some push button after which the smart form or script is appearing.
do screen debugging.
enter /h in the command field and press enter.
now press the push button.
this will take you to the logic in the driver program where the smartform or script is getting invoked.
if it is a smartform you will see a function module SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME.
smartform name will be stored in LF_FORMNAME
put a watch point here to get the smartform name.
if it is a script you will come across the following functional modules.
open_form,write_form,close_form.
Script name will be given in the open form functional module.
If any doubt revert it.

Syntax for calling a form & passing a query condition

I have a stored PL/SQL procedure where I am attempting to link to a master detail form from a button created in the procedure. The procedure is called from a form based on a table.
I want to pass an id from the first form to the second when the user clicks the button and have that id bring up the master record in the calling form (query condition to be automatically executed).
I am using the Portal technical FAQ 10.10 as a reference. However, I must be off in the syntax. Here's what I have:
objectId - contains id from calling form
OBJECT_ID - column name in called MD form
elsif (button = 'Subject Matters') then
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.link(
p_arg_names =>
PORTAL30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2('_moduleid:_show_header:OBJECT_ID:_OBJECT_ID_cond'),
p_arg_values =>
PORTAL30.wwv_standard_util.string_to_table2('2215270925:YES:'| |to_char(objectID)| |':%3D'));
The best I get is the id passed and the called form opened in INSERT mode.
I have been playing with this for days!
If anyone spots the error in my code and could point it out, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Regards,
Judy

try this
String b = (String)am.invokeMethod("getValue", params);

Compiled and trying to deploy a form - an error when calling the form

Hi!
I used to deal with Forms 6i and I'm quite new to 10g.
Is it enough to just replace an .fmx file on the server?
We have a software product written on Forms 10g which is running on our server.
I found where working .fmx files are located on the server.
I also found which seems to be the source files.
My actions:
1) Selected one of the forms and compiled it in Bulder 10g successfully.
2) Replaced an .fmx file with one which I had comiled.
3) In user interface, press the button which calls my form, but nothing happens. The form is not created. No error messages.
4) Put the original .fmx back - and everyting works: after pressing the button the form starts.
What's wrong? Improper way of compilation or deployment?
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanking in advance,
Roman

Thank you, Christian!
You are right!
According to my last test, when I try to call the form directly from the url (via parameter form=myform.fmx), I get the following:
1) With the orginal myform.fmx, the form starts
2) With the form compiled by me, I get error: "Cannot read form myform.fmx"
Though the file names are identical, the file compiled on windows doesn't go.
P. S.
Nevertheless, that's weird for me: I supposed that since Forms 10g is based on Java, the compilation must be platform-independent.
Edited by: Roman Churakov on 20.01.2012 1:58I think you have just a problem with upper/lowercase.
.) ensure your fmx is exactly myform.fmx
I am not sure but I think you get this message also if there is a wrong attached-library-name in the source.
So if its still not working convert the fmb to text (file->convert...), check if the libraries are attached correctly (case sensitive on UX/LX) the libs are visible in the first lines, check if some libs are attached multiple times, correct that stuff, and convert back from text to fmb.
Hope that helps!

Get current FORM-Routine Name

Hi,
during runtime i want to know the current form-routine-name to write it in a variable and put it in an itab. The background-idea is to print out all procedures that have been executed after running the program.
Any hints, suggestions how to get this done?
Thanks in advance

Hi, Gunther,
The only way to do this is to read the ABAP Call Stack in an internal table.
Code:
TYPES: BEGIN OF t_s_abap_callstack,
         mainprogram LIKE sy-repid,
         include LIKE sy-repid,
         line TYPE i,
         eventtype LIKE abdbg-leventtype,
         event LIKE abdbg-levent,
         flag_system,
       END OF t_s_abap_callstack.
variable for ABAP callstack
DATA: g_callstack TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF t_s_abap_callstack,
      g_callstack_wa TYPE t_s_abap_callstack.
call 'ABAP_CALLSTACK' id 'DEPTH' field 99
                        id 'CALLSTACK' field g_callstack.
g_callstack now contains the program and routine names called, in sequence.
Pls be careful in using this C Call; in particular, usage in a Productive environment should only be envisaged with the utmost caution.
