Olivier,
Look in the Headstart Template Package users guide. In the
Runtime Behaviors chpt, under Inter-Form Navigation, Named Passed
Values and Argument Passed Values, you will find an explanation
of how to start a form in Enter-Query mode.

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.

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.

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 :) )

Starting a Search Form in "Enter Query" mode

JDev 11.1.1.3 Windows 7 x64
I have a page flow with 4 fragments - the first is a search form to look up the person.
I need to enter this form in the "Find Mode (enabled)".
I have tried using the method of dragging the "Find" from the iterator as the default item and linking it to the first fragment but this has no effect (it still retrieves the first record from the DB).
I created an invokeaction - (preparemodel) this works for the first time - but not any other (seems to block the execution of the find button).
I am not sure if this is a bug in 11g - but in my mind (find.execute) seems to indicate that it is doing what it should.
I am not inserting any data - just retrieving a record.
Anyone solve this before?

Hi,
maybe this will help you

Start form in ENTER-QUERY HST6i DES6i

Does any-one know this problem?
We want to start an generated form Called by the menu or by an other form in ENTER-QUERY. We have tried to use the named passes values but that didn't have any effect. What are we doing wrong?
null

Theo et al.
First, although you can enter NPV's and APV's against a module network link between a menu and form module, it will not be picked up by the generator. See the Headstart User Guide (and the example in the Headstart Demo application) for instructions on how to implement this very example (launching a form in ENTER QUERY mode from the menu).
Between forms, the NPV should be picked up correctly, as the Inter Form Navigation screen in the Headstart Demo application will demonstrate. In both cases it will therefore not be necessary to create the CG$STARTUP_MODE parameter manually.
A couple of general remarks concerning the use of NPV/APV: most values are case sensitive, and more often than you'ld think you are required to generate both the calling and the called form for the functionality to be implemented correctly.
Kind regards,
Peter Ebell

How to display LOV on web in ENTER-QUERY mode with form or block query only.

Hello all
How can I display lov automatic on the web in from enter-query
mode in form or block query only mode.
thankx

If I understand correctly your explanation, your called form
fails to activate the LOV in enter-query mode when it is deployed
and test on the browser.
So lets proceeed like this, to make it work in all environments,
let us programetically activate the LOV.
HOW?
In the called form, write in the WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE TRIGGER
at block level (if have more than one LOV)
IF :SYSTEM.MODE = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
IF get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name) IN ('YOUR
LOV1', 'LOV2' etc) THEN
IF SHOW_LOV(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name))
THEN
NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
The above code maybe tweak to suite your need and condition.
This way, we explicitly make the LOV appear in ENTER-QUERY mode
whenever the user clicks on an item with an attached LOV.
Hope this helps.

Forms that start in enter query mode freeze on exit

When a headstart form is called from
a menu and the first thing it does if go into
enter query mode the form will not exit properly, causing the orginal form to hang.
Is there any work around for this apart from taking enter_query out of the when_new_form_instance trigger ?

We have a similar problem with a Headstart generated application. We are unable to pinpoint it entirely to forms that start in enter query mode as:
a) forms that don't start in enter query mode also hang; and
b) not all forms that start in enter query mode do hang.
The problem doesn't seem to affect a form consistently, as one day it will hang on the first use, the next it will work for several hours.
When a new form is selected from the menu the toolbar is not shown, the 'start' form disappears and the application hangs. It is then necessary to close the application using Task Manager.
The good news is that this only seems to happen in our development environment (Windows NT 4) and not in our live environment (Hydra).
We are working with Headstart v2.1.2.0.1,
Designer v2.1.24.1.0 and Forms v5.0.6.11.0.

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.

Open multiple forms, few in Enter-Query mode

Hi All,
I want to open multiple forms from a form using open_form built-in. If user clicks on different items of the parent form different child forms are invoked.
But if one child form is opened in Enter-Query mode (I have 'enter_query;' in its when-new-form-instance) it does not allow to put focus back on parent form and invoke other forms until I execute_query in child form or close the child form.
Waiting for your replies. Thanks in advance.

Mona

Hi Friends,
Has anybody ever faced this problem. Please reply.

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.

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.

Do_Key in Enter-Query mode

Hello,
I have a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger that has do_key('list_values') that brings a calendar. I use calendar.pll library. It works, when the system is in normal mode. But when the system is in enter-query mode it does not work. It says "Function key not allowed". What is the alternate solution, other than calling the calendar functionality from a new form?
Thanks in advance.
Arun.

try this out,
go_item('item_name');
execute_trigger('key-listval');
specify the item name for go_item

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.
