Calling forms from sub-directories

Greetings,
I have 19 different apps that are on a Solaris Application server in separate directories. I do have the FORMS_PATH set to the "root" but I was wondering if it is possible to call forms in one of the sub-directories without having to add that sub-directory to the FORMS_PATH.
So far have tried CALL_FORM('ats/ats_ro_2') and CALL_FORM('/ats/ats_ro_2')
Regards,
Bill Chadbourne

It may be possible, but i would not recommend to do so. What happens if you at some point decide to restructure your applicarion? You would have to adjust all your calls.
if you really want to go that way and you have only one path in your FORMS_PATH, you could read the FORMS_PATH using TOOLENV.GETVAR and then use the full qualified path to call your forms.

Call Form from Form

Hi All:
Any one can tell me the basic steps for how to call Form from form through push button.
I am using forms& reports6i

You can use open_form/call_from but when one form invokes another form by executing open_form the first form remains displayed, and operators can navigate between the forms as desired. when one form invokes another form by executing call_form, the called form is modal with respect to the calling form. That is, any windows that belong to the calling form are disabled, and operators cannot navigate to them until they first exit the called form.

Calling Forms from Reports

Hi...
We can call Reports from Forms using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT or RUN_PRODUCT. Can we call Forms or any other product from Reports? If so, how can we do it? If anyone can help me in this...

Hi Gayathri
As such there is no product integration for calling Forms from Report. You can call 6i graphics from Reports 9i if you are running a 6i rdf file with OGD object in it and if you have a 6i home set in the same machine where Report s9i is running. For Form, if you wish to run it as an independent request, in Reports 9i, you can always import a java class in Reports and then call that class method in any of the triggers which in turn send out a Forms request to Forms servlet.
Thanks

Calling form from web application

i use the below url for calling form from web application.
http://host51.yan.com/forms/frmservlet?form=test&width=700
i would like to know about "frmservlet"
if it's a servlet file then
where its located in application server10g

The servlet is part of the forms-installation on the application-server, on the local OC4J this is located in $ORACLE_HOME/forms/j2ee/formsapp.ear
What exactly do you want to know about the servlet?

Hi Francesco,
Are you talking about that ??? )) It will explain you about to get the name of the web page when you are executing an abap function for determining the values of variables...

How can I store a form name with path and then call form from a table

Is it possible that any form that I built I store that form in some table in DB and then call that form from table, if yes, then how can i get this functionality. I am not very experience in form and do not know if it can be done because i think if it is possible then this can be a good security for application and easy to handle as well.
Thanks in advance
Maz

If you have a Forms block based on this table:
declare
module varchar2(100);
begin
module := :block.column;
call_form ( module ) ;
end;If you don't have any blok based on that table
declare
module varchar2(100);
begin
select module_name
into module
from ...
where ...
call_form ( module ) ;
end;Francois

Calling Form from Another program

All.
I have program A and program B. While executing Program A i need to call a perform (form) from Program B and result out this needs to flow into program A
Like Program B having a form f_select_data
form f_select_data.
select * from mara into table it_mara
     where matnr in s_matnr
endform.
I need to call this from program A and results back to A
a®

Try this:.
In Z_PROGRAM use function
..PERFORM get_data_from_z_program in Y_PROGRAM.
In Y_PROGRAM write:
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <qals>. (example for qals table)
* inspection lot data
DATA: t_qals LIKE qals OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: wa_qals LIKE LINE OF t_qals.
   ASSIGN ('(Z_PROGRAM)QALS[]') TO <qals>.
   IF NOT ( <qals> IS INITIAL ) .
     t_qals[] = <qals>.
     READ TABLE t_qals INTO wa_qals INDEX 1.

Calling forms from OAS10g on Linux

We are deploying all forms and reports10g from Windows to Redhat Linux based OAS10g Server.
Since directory structure / definition is changed in Linux environment and we use "/" in place of "\" <back slash), we have to change path of the call forms according to linux directory structure.
Because this change need to apply in more than 2000 forms, Is there any way
to change the directory path in one shot. Is there any utility available in OAS10g or Forms/reports10g builder or in RHEL 4.0-AS ?
Please help.

If oyu use CALL_FORM, all called forms-modules are "stacked" above each other, so you can only return to a previous instance using EXIT_FORM.
You can either use NEW_FORM or OPEN_FORM, both have pro's and con's.

Sapscript calling forms from program

Hi experts
I need to write a form in a program to get values.
Here is my code. But i cant seem to succesfully compile it. Need help. I want to take
ernam from sapscript and send name and lastname back. Can u please fill the function.
Also i have an error says itcyy is not a structure ?
thanks.

*READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'ERNAM'.

endform.

You can use the PERFORM command to call an ABAP subroutine
(form) from
any program, subject to the normal ABAP runtime
authorization
checking. You can use such calls to subroutines for
carrying out
calculations, for obtaining data from the database that is
needed at
display or print time, for formatting data, and so on.
PERFORM commands, like all control commands, are executed
when a
document is formatted for display or printing.
Communication between a
subroutine that you call and the document is by way of
symbols whose
values are set in the subroutine.
The system does not execute the PERFORM command within
SAPscript
replace modules, such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE or
TEXT_INCLUDE_REPLACE.
The replace modules can only replace symbol values or
resolve include
texts, but not interpret SAPscript control commands.
Syntax in a form window:
/: PERFORM <form> IN PROGRAM <prog>
/: USING &INVAR1&
/: USING &INVAR2&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR1&
/: CHANGING &OUTVAR2&
/: ENDPERFORM
INVAR1 and INVAR2 are variable symbols and may be of any of
the four
SAPscript symbol types.
OUTVAR1 and OUTVAR2 are local text symbols and must
therefore be
character strings.
The ABAP subroutine called via the command line stated
above must be
defined in the ABAP report prog as follows:
FORM <form> TABLES IN_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_TAB STRUCTURE ITCSY.
ENDFORM.
The values of the SAPscript symbols passed with /: USING...
are now
stored in the internal table IN_TAB . Note that the system
passes the
values as character string to the subroutine, since the
field Feld
VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR
80). See the
example below on how to access the variables.
The internal table OUT_TAB contains names and values of the
CHANGING
parameters in the PERFORM statement. These parameters are
local text
symbols, that is, character fields. See the example below
on how to
return the variables within the subroutine.
From within a SAPscript form, a subroutine GET_BARCODE in
the ABAP
program QCJPERFO is called. Then the simple barcode
contained there
('First page', 'Next page', 'Last page') is printed as
local variable
symbol.
Definition in the SAPscript form:
/: PERFORM GET_BARCODE IN PROGRAM QCJPERFO
/: USING &PAGE&
/: USING &NEXTPAGE&
/: CHANGING &BARCODE&
/: ENDPERFORM
/ &BARCODE&
Coding of the calling ABAP program:
REPORT QCJPERFO.
FORM GET_BARCODE TABLES IN_PAR STUCTURE ITCSY
OUT_PAR STRUCTURE ITCSY.
DATA: PAGNUM LIKE SY-TABIX, "page number
NEXTPAGE LIKE SY-TABIX. "number of next page
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'PAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
PAGNUM = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE IN_PAR WITH KEY 'NEXTPAGE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
NEXTPAGE = IN_PAR-VALUE.
READ TABLE OUT_PAR WITH KEY 'BARCODE'.
CHECK SY-SUBRC = 0.
IF PAGNUM = 1.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '|'. "First page
ELSE.
OUT_PAR-VALUE = '||'. "Next page
ENDIF.
IF NEXTPAGE = 0.
OUT_PAR-VALUE+2 = 'L'. "Flag: last page
ENDIF.
MODIFY OUT_PAR INDEX SY-TABIX.

Calling Form from Report

Hi all,
Please help me out, I need to call Form6i form Report6i.
Thanks in advance

Hi all,
the below mentioned documents will help u.
Under Developer 2000 (Release 1.2) on Windows, there exists a pl/sql library
which can be used to invoke excutables residing on the PC. The library
(D2KWEXEC.PLL, located in the FORMS45/DEMO/REUSE directory) is attached to
the Report in the following manner:
1) Modify the D2KWEXEC.PLL to change any references to the Forms built-in
MESSAGE to the Reports built-in SRW.MESSAGE.
2) Choose the 'Attached Libraries' section for your report and select the
'Navigator/Create' menu option - this will cause the 'Attached Library'
dialog to be displayed.
3) Use the 'Find' button to locate the library file (D2KWEXEC.PLL) and then
attached it to the report using the 'Attach' button. A warning is
displayed you that a hard coded path name is being used and gives the
option of removing it. If the full path is removed, then the
FORMS45_PATH variable will be used subsequently to locate the library.
The directory in which the library is located must be part of
FORMS45_PATH.
Then select the appropriate trigger from where Oracle Forms should be invoked
from. In that trigger reproduce the following code:
function return boolean is
command_string VARCHAR2 (100);
BEGIN
command_string := 'c:\orawin\bin\f45run.exe';
RETURN d2k_winexec.execute (command_string);
END;
Note: 'command_string' contains the full path of the Oracle Forms
Runtime executable.
When the trigger fires, the Forms Runtime Executable is invoked
automatically.

Calling form from layout.

In a layout, I have the following perform statement :

USING &ZKWERT&

USING &VBDKR-WAERK&

ENDPERFORM.
But form statement is as follows:
FORM convert_currency TABLES input_tab STRUCTURE itcsy
                                         output_tab STRUCTURE itcsy.
ENDFORM.
      - Plz explain how the parameter is matched between form & perform?

Hi
The program Name in the PERFORM is Z_SCRIPT_INVOICE
So in SE38 You will create this program and in that you will write the FORM..ENDFORM.
So when the PERFORM is executed it calls the PROGRAM in SE38 and the form is called.
In form you write READ Table IN_PAR with key 'ZRATE'.
See the sample code

Problem call forms from a form in 'create' mode of a new records

Hello,
I'll try to explain myself well, i have one form and now i am in 'create' mode , no value exist meanwhile in the primary key of the table behind, the problem is that in the same form i have some buttons that calls another form in wich i must provide the value of the primary key, let's think of an example of cities & streets tables.
If i'll be in the form of cities in 'create a new record' mode, i can't let the end-user click on the button for the streets of that 'new' city becouse of the non-existing yet for the primary key of cities. I know how to 'dissapear' the button of streets in this create new record mode but i am not convinced that this is the best way to do it.
I'll be glad to hear about some sollutions for that kind of problem, i am sure that i am not the only one who must think of this kind of problem.
Best regards,
Victor

Hiding the button is straightforward. You simply need to add a condition on to the button to ensure that the primary key value is not null.
The way how I've acheived master/detail data entry pages before has been a bit hacky, so I'll wait for someone else to come along with the 'right' way to do it!

Calling JSP from Forms and going back from JSP to Forms

Hi,
We are calling JSP from Forms 6i using show_document
I'd like to go back to tha calling Form from the JSP.
How can I construct the URL that would lead me back to the same Form and Forms session where the JSP was called from?
Thanks,
Arpad

Thanks Shay,
works for me too...
Now:
when I use the "Back" button of my IE to go back from JSP to the Forms session, it works for Jinitiator 1.1.8.19, but if I use Jinitiator 1.3 I got hung...
Any ideas how could I make it work from Jinit 1.3?
Thanks again/
