Check box in a multi record block

I have a multi record block that has a check box. I need to be able to go to the first record on the block, go through each row and check to see if it's selected. I will then get all the rows that were selected and passed it as a parameter in a package.I have already declared a global variable in the package to get all the rows selected.
Can anyone please help.

Hi
This is my solution for your problem. If I understand correctly as you have to post the selected records from form to journal entry (a server operation). What you need to do is in your Oracle Forms multi record block construct a loop which goes from first record to last record of your data block, capture the selected records (wherever the check box is CHECKED ON) into a PL/SQL table structure (PL/SQL table is quite simillar to Oracle Forms RECORD GROUP structure, but more versatile as it can be recognized on the back end too).
Once you populate the PL/SQL table with the selected record, pass the PL/SQL table itself as parameter to your package.
Open the PL/SQL table in your destination code and do further processing with those selected records !!
Hope this will work !!

HOW TO MAKE CHECK BOXES EXCLUSIVE IN MULTI ROW BLOCK

Hi,
I have a multi row block with one item as check box.It is
required that at a time only one record can be marked as
selected through this item. If user marks a record as selected
the previous selected record should be marked as deselected.
How i can make these check boxes mutually exclusive ?
can anybody help me?

Hi
The check box can not be mutually exclusive.
This is a basic functionality.
You convert this item type into radio button.
It will satisfy your requirements.

Check duplicate data entry in multi record block,which is a mandatory field

Dear all,
I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
As for reference I have used a logic,such as
1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
then
2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem is that,if user enter the value in that field,and then goes to next field,enter value to that field and then press 'Enter Query 'icon,the bolth Validate trigger fires.As result first when-validate record fires,which stores that value,and then when-validate-item fires,as a result it shows duplicate record message
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

@Ammad Ahmed
first of all thanks .your logic worked,but still i have some little bit of problem,
now the requirement is a master detail form where both master and detail is multirecord ,where detail cannot have duplicate record,
such as..........
MASTER:--
A code
A1
A2
DETAIL:--
D code
d1
d2 <-valid as for master A1 , detail d1 ,d2 are not duplicate
d2 <--invalid as as for master A1 , detail d2 ,d2 are duplicate
validation rule: A Code –D Code combination is unique. The system will stop users from entering duplicate D Code for a A Code. Appropriate error message will be displayed.*
actually i am facing a typical problem,the same logic i have been applied in detail section ,its working fine when i am inserting new records.problem starts when i query,after query in ' a ' field say 2 records (i.e. which has been earlier saved) has been pasted,now if i insert a new record with the value exactly same with the already present value in the screen(i.e. value populated after query) its not showing duplicate.................could u tell me the reason?and help me out...............its urgent plzzzzzzzzz

Re-sequencing records in a multi record block

I have a multirecord block with sequence No field which is unique no and other fiels which is showing from the values which I have stored in a table say sequence No from 1 to 10 along with other fields.If I change the record which has the sequence No say 6 to become seq no 2 ,then the record with seq no 2 should become seq no 3 and the rec with seq no 3 should become seq no 4 and rec with seq no 4 should become seq no 5 and rec ord with seq no 5 should become seq no 6.This should automatically happen when the user changes say
seq no 6 to seq no 2 .User may change any seqq no like this.
We will provide 2 text box serialNo from and Serial No 2 and a button click should swap the records in between this two seq no and show it on the screen in the multi record block.Please help me to code this.

Jayshree Suresh

User455091,
1- You can add a non based checkbox item to your block. To resequence a record, you may have to check the record you want to change and then, check the position you want to change it for. Example: if you want to change the 6th to seq 2, you check the record 6 and check the record 2 right after (you can choose any logic to implement your sequence change. this is only an example).
2- When you check the first record, set a global variable "seq_from" with the value of the sequence field (or :system.cursor_record if the block is ordered by this sequence)
3- When you check the 2nd record, set a global variable "seq_to" and proceed to the resequence.
4- Manage the change down and change up (if "seq_from">"seq_to" or "seq_from"<"seq_to")
5- You have to change the values of all the record fields for all the records between seq_from and seq_to. by doing a loop between seq_from and seq_to. You may have to use previous_record or next_record depending on if it is a change_qown or a change_up.
6- When the resequence is done, reset all the variables to blank, and don't forget your checkbox!
This seems difficult, but only think about it. It is easier than what you expect. This method is more user-freindly but, just think about it....

Validate a Multi Record Block.

Hello every body-
Would appreciate your inputs as to how to go about doing this.
I have a multi record block like below.
SEQ # THEMES PICK
1 THEME 1
2 THEME 2
3 THEME 3
4 THEME 4
5 THEME 5
6 THEME 6
The 'PICK' field is a check box, that the user will click on if he needs to select a particular 'THEME'.
I need to do the following validations ( I will be having a button something like INSERT BUTTON) at the bottom of the multi column block.
.. Only 3 THEMES are to selected.
.. If more than 3 THEMES are selected, need to show an alert stating that only 3 THEMES can be selected, allow the user to change selections.
.. If only 3 THEMES are selected, need to insert the selected THEMES into a table.
For example, in the above sitation, if the user picks 'THEMES' with SEQ# 2,4,5; then I need to insert the SEQ #, along with the other primary key (which is STUDENT ID) into the table.
Would really appreciate if any one could let me know how to do this.
Thanks for your time..

1) Make a hidden summarized number field called mycounter in the same block. Set the summarized function to sum, block to 'myblock', field to 'mycheckbox', calculation mode to "summary"
2) Make the checked and unchecked values of the check box 1 = checked and 0 = unchecked. Set the datatype of the checkbox to a number.
3) In the when-checkbox-changed of the checkbox put this code..
if :my.mycounter >= 4 then
message('Error: May only check 3 or less.');
:myblock.mycheckbox := 0;
end if;With this code they wont be able to check more than three rows. This is one piece of your puzzle anyway.

Enabling the current record only in a multi record block..how?

Hi,
I'am trying to enable a single record in a multi record block.
If i use SET_ITEM_PROPERTY it enables all records, SET_ITEM_INSTANCE PROPERTY does not have ENABLED Property.., so how to go about this?
I have a check box beside each record, if i check the check box only that record should get enabled..is there any way?

How to do validation on multi record block at run time...

Dear Friends,
I have to do validation at run time on multi record block.
If user tries to enter and save two or more records in same multi record block with same data at run time, it should not allow it and display a message like, " error : Records are having same(duplicate) values. "
I already did validation with the data coming from database table using cursor. But confused about how to do at run time(on one screen only) ??
Please, give details about how to check duplicate records on form block before saving it to the table ????
Regarding details would be greatly helpful.
thanks,

Hi...Pankaj
thanx for your reply..
I already did validation for the data coming from table....
but I need to do it on form only...at run time...
exa...
In one multi record block
record no : column 1 : column 2 : column 3
1 abc 123 hi
2 abc 123 hi
so it should check on the form itself, here I m not getting data from table...I am just
navigating from first record to second using down arrow.
so, may be 2 possibilities.
1) when user navigates using tab to third record, it should say like two duplicate records.(may be like when validate record or item)
2) or when user tries to save, it should say two duplicate records.
so, everyting should take place on form screen only.....
waiting for your reply,
thanx...

Query about multi record block

Abdetu
Please clarify this
I have a multi record group on the canvas, which displays 5 records at a time. The block is based on a table. All the items, except 3 items are displayed items.Now in the block I have a list item, in which I have two values "PO" and "TSF".. If user selects PO, associated text items will get enabled and user will be entering the values .. Same is the case with TSF .. And at the end user selects Ok button to save the record to the database
Now while fetching the records (based on query) ..once the records are fetched, control will be on PO/TSF list box, now the user can either change PO to TSF or TSF to PO ..or he/she may opt not to change also.. If user changes PO to TSF, only that particular record's TSF fields should get enabled .. The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled
In the sense, if control is in the 1st record of multi record block, only those fields should get enabled, once the user navigates to the text item which is the last of that particular record, then 2nd record should get enabled....
Can I know the solution

Hello Seshu
ur case explanation should be in points 1,2,etc as possible leaving extra lines and spaces in between .. and the case should be more clear and summarized like:
1- I have multi-records data block.
2- I have a static list item with 2 values eg. (a and b).
3- Depending on selecting from the list some items r enabled.etc.
Kindly note that, this will facilitate ur problem to be more readable,recognizable and save time and effort of someone who wants to help u.
Here comes the confusion:
Now while fetching the records (based on query)
The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. >since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled i think with the piece of code i have just posted to u this can't be happened since it disable all the record's PO/TSF.
if this didn't solve ur problem i suggest either u post ur code to help u or u try to put some validations with :
if statment inside the loop depending on the list item's values which will enable or disable related items to the list.
Hope this help u,
If any Questions pls let me know..

Another multi-record block question

I have always struggled with this. I have a muti-record block(10 records displayed). Eventhough my block is a db block, I have not assigned it a table. Hence, it is a non-db block. If I set enabled on a txt box, it
is enabling the entire column. I need to enable only the text box on which the cursor is/user navigated to.
How to do it?
Thanks,
Chiru
Edited by: Megastar_Chiru on Sep 21, 2010 2:03 PM

ok..here is the explanation of the issue
in my multi-record block, there is a drop down list column with 2 values "Monthly %" and "Half-Rent". So, for example, in record 1, the drop-down could be chosen as "Monthly %" while in rec2, it could be "Half-rent". Right next to this list column, I have a text box. When the user chooses "Monthly %", the text box need to be enabled to allow keying a % value (say 5%). While in rec2, since the user chooses "Half-rent", the text box needs to be disabled for this record. How to accomplish this?
Thanks,

Cursor Jumping to last record when query mode for Multi-record block.

I have a multi-record block. the seq field has this validation to check that there should not be a gap
in sequence for S_type and cer_dl field.The program unit is as below.
PROCEDURE seq_validation IS
--Validation to check that there is no gaps in sequence for S_TYPE and cer_dl fields
l_value_to_check varchar2(100);
l_seq_found number;
l_curr_sequence number;
l_new_value varchar2(100);
l_found boolean:=FALSE;
l_new_set boolean := FALSE; --s_type and cer_dl are different from previous set.
begin
if trim(:b1.s_type) is not null
or trim(:b1.cer_dl) is not null
then
-- Program continues here only if all the items are not null
-- Get information from record that needs to be validated
l_value_to_check := trim(:b1.s_type) || ':'|| trim(:b1.cer_dl) ;
l_curr_sequence := :sequence;
if :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD = '1' then
---to check sequence is entered as 1 in the first record
message('Error:Sequence should start with 1');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
go_item('b1.XYZ');
else
FIRST_RECORD;
while :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD != 'TRUE'
loop
l_found := FALSE;
l_new_value := trim(:b1.S_type) || ':'|| trim(:cer_dl) ;
if l_new_value = l_value_to_check then --
l_new_set:= FALSE;
l_seq_found := :seq;
if l_seq_found >= l_curr_sequence then
go_item('b1.seq');
l_new_set := FALSE;
elsif l_seq_found < l_curr_sequence - 1 then
go_item('b1.sequence');
l_found := FALSE;
elsif l_seq_found = l_curr_sequence - 1 then
l_found:= TRUE;
go_item('b1.xyz); --go to next item
end if;
else
l_new_set := TRUE;
end if;
NEXT_RECORD;
end loop;
if l_new_set then
go_item('b1.xyz'); -- go to next item
else
if not l_found then

go_item('b1.seq');
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
end if;
go_item('b1.xyz'); ---go to next item
end if;
end if;
end;
In the insert mode its working fine(unless you gurus feel to change to make it more perfect.
When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field and then do a execute query it brings all the records of 'IAS'.
Now as I want to update the records, and when I navigate across field(s_type,cer_dl,Seq,xyz) using tab and move the cursor down on second
record(IAS N 2 N), what happens is when I navigate to sequence field the cursor jumps to LAST RECORD( IAS Y 3 N ) of LAST field XYZ.
I am putting the sample record
s_type cer_dl seq xyz
IAS N 1 N
IAS N 2 N
IAS N 3 N
IAS N 4 N
IAS Y 1 N
IAS Y 2 N
IAS Y 3 N
The cursor moves to last record --IAS -Y -3-N when I tab across the second record.

When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field...For your validation to work you must not allow users to enter records in the middle of a block, clear records from the block or query specific records. If you allow the users to enter a query then you are allowing 2 of the rules to be broken.

Editing record items in a multi-record block - 1 record at a time.

Hello,
I have the following scenario: Currently in my multi-record block, to edit an item of a record, the user has to double click on the record to enable the 'save changes' button. However, I want to turn the navigation to all other records turned off. The only way the user should be able to edit other records is save changes first, then again double click on the desired record to re-enable the 'save changes' button (at this time navigation to all other records should be turned off). ie., the user should be able to edit 1 record at a time (At any given time, I won't be having many records in the block which the user may have to modify).
How can this be achieved?
Thanks,
Chiru

That is pretty odd requirement, but this might work:
When the user double-clicks the record, enable the Save button, and set a value in any column of the record to its current value. This will cause Forms to set the record status to CHANGED, and will not permit navigation away from the record until the When-validate-record trigger runs successfully.
In the Save button, start a non-repeating timer to run maybe 20 milliseconds, then issue a Validate(Record_Scope); command. Check form_success then commit_form.
In the when-validate-record trigger: Do any record validation that may be necessary, and Raise Form_Trigger_Failure if anything is wrong. Then check for the existence of your Save button's timer. If it does NOT exist, issue a message like: "You must Save the changes first" and Raise Form_Trigger_Failure; If the timer exists, do not raise the error.

Querying a multi-record block within my form

I have a form where I perform validations of items entered on my main block. I compare the item value entered to an expected value and if they are different then an exception record must be created in a separate, multi-record block within my application. One record on my main block may end up with multiple different exception records in the multi-record block. As a result, part of my validation must include determining whether the user has already created an exception record for the item that I'm validating in the multi-record block.
Is there a way for me to query and uncomitted, multi-record block in my form? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Andreas' method is good.
Only several changes:
LOOP... EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='NEW';
(Use NEW, not TRUE)
And just before the Raise Form_Trigger_Failure, I would Go_Item to either the item in error, or to a new line in the exceptions block. And also issue an error message.
....By the way...
If your exceptions block has more rows than will fit on the screen, then your search loop function will may cause the rows to jump up or down when the user tries to commit. There is a way to reset the view after the function completes its search -- you just need to store the value of the block's Top_Record property before the First_Record command, and then Go_Record(Top_Rec_value); after the function completes its loop.
Also, there is a way to prompt the user to enter the exception record when you first validate the item in a when-validate-item trigger. But the user might ignore the prompt, so you still need to re-check everything from the key-commit process. To use the WVI prompting, in the WVI trigger you check if an exception is required. If it is, store the item name in a package variable, then start a non-repeating timer. When the timer expires, save the :System.cursor_item value (so you can go_item back to it after calling the function), and then call the function to check for the exception for the item named in the package variable. If not found, prompt the user. If found, go_item back to the cursor_item_value.

How to convert a puch button disabled in a multi record block?

Hi!
I have a multi-record block and I need to set some specific item to disabled.
I tried using set_item_instance_property with the following sentence:
set_item_instance_property('INAF_ESC.EEAS_TIPO' ,CURRENT_RECORD, ENABLED , PROPERTY_FALSE);
but it didn´t work.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks
Vero

Hi,
ENABLED is not supported SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY built-in.
If you are env. has no mouse enabled, you can disable NAVIGABLE property using above builtin.
There is a way make the end-user to feel like it is disabled.
Create a visual attribute DISABLE_VA, with colors simillar to disabled buttion and set thie DISABLE_VA when the conditon is failed.
Inside the button-pressed trigger check whether the conditon is true or false. If the conditon is failed you simply do nothing.

Deleting selected record in a multi-record block

I am using Form 6i.
I have two multi-record block viz. BLK_A and BLK_B.
BLK_A has record displayed property set to 4
BLK_B has record displayed property set to 8
Each block has checkbox item.
BLK_A contains records retrieved from table after entering data in selection criteria.
When checked on anyone checkbox of BLK_A, then it displays related information in BLK_B.
But when I uncheck the checkbox of BLK_A, then how to delete records in BLK_B.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vikas

No, absolutely not.
I cannot use this method.
Because if two checkbox is check in BLK_A, then records related to both record in BLK_A will display in BLK_B. If I uncheck any one checkbox of BLK_A, then only records related to that checkbox should be deleted.
If I use your suggestion, then all data will be removed.
Thanks and regards,
Vikas
