Creating a new line in forms

Question

Hi all,
I designed a form which displays employee information like empno,ename,job,sal.
I created a control item as "create newline" and lov is attached to this item,lov contains values as YES,No. If I select create newline value as YES then a new line is inserted immediately next to the first line and the data corresponding to that empno is automatically populated into the fields. i.e empno,ename,job fields.But "sal" field is displayed as empty and it is able to insert new sal by user.After entering data into sal field the entire row is stored into emp table.I created a when-create-record trigger in
"create newline" item,but it is not working.
Could anyone please give me an idea to do this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Francois,
I have developed one form which contains emp block.which is a database block.I have taken Empno,Ename,Job and sal as database items and i have created one control item[Create Line] under this block.And Created Lov for that control item(that lov contains YES or No Values).All these fields displayed on the Canvas.
when I press CTRL+F11 it will display emp details,now my requirement is Suppose For the first record i have selected Create Line as YES from LOV Under this record new line has to be created and Empno,Ename,Job values to be populated in the new line from the above line but sal field is displayed as blank and then we enter the salary and update the record in the database.
Note:Here I am displaying the fields in the tabular format.
I have written code in when-create-record trigger in block level as:
declare
     cursor c1 is select empno,ename,job,sal from emp where empno=:emp.empno;
begin
     if :emp.CREATE_LINE='YES' then
for i in c1
          loop     
                    create_record;
               fnd_message.debug('new line');
               :EMP.EMPNO:=i.empno;
               :EMP.ENAME:=i.ename;
               :EMP.JOB:=i.job;
          end loop;
          end if;
     end;
Could u please help me.
Thanks in advance.
