Computation or Process ?

Question

Hi there,
I have the following values in my variable :P4_Linie
-9:TEST1:TEST2:TEST3
Now I know how to convert the ":" into "," and how to replace the -9. The -9 is the "all selector" of a checkbox pluging meaning if all checkboxes are checked the value -9 is given before the checkboxes data so sometimes it is there and sometimes not.
I know how to do this in a select statement:
SELECT *  FROM mv_auswertung WHERE INSTR (
          REPLACE (:P4_LINIE, '-9', '')
          ':'||Linie||':') > 0Now I get TEST1,TEST2,TEST3 and now I can use this in a select into query.
But I need apex to do this via PL/SQL process or computation so the item is given to the next page in my items to submit.
I need to submit TEST1,TEST2,TEST3 for my IR. Hoping you can help.
Thx in advance
Thorsten

Answer 1

Thorsten,
Hmm. I have a few ideas, as well.
Do you want the value of :P4_LINIE actually changed to the new value without the "-9:" on page 4 or do you just want the new/changed value available to the new page?
(Related question) Do you want the computation to happen before page 4 is displayed or just before transferring to the new page?
Do you have a Submit button to get to the next page; what's the mechanism for transferring to the new page?
There are two (or more) ways to do this.
-- 1) Merely reference/use :P4_LINIE on the new page? But I think we have to ensure :P4_LINIE is saved in the session state for this to work.
-- 2) Pass :P4_LINIE to :Px_LINIE on the transfer to page x.
But I need to know how you (want to) transfer to the new page.
