Display items don't seem to synchronize with block values.

Question

I have the following simple code in a command button of a form:
DECLARE
CURSOR PS_CURSOR IS SELECT * FROM PS_TITLE_SNS ORDER BY TITLE_SN;
PS_CURS PS_CURSOR%ROWTYPE;
ALERT_BUTTON NUMBER;
BEGIN
OPEN PS_CURSOR;
LOOP
FETCH PS_CURSOR INTO PS_CURS;
:MAIN.TITLE_SN := PS_CURS.TITLE_SN;
:MAIN.OLD_2004 := PS_CURS.ORIGINAL_2004;
:MAIN.NEW_2004 := PS_CURS.AMOUNT_2004;
:MAIN.OLD_2005 := PS_CURS.ORIGINAL_2005;
:MAIN.NEW_2005 := PS_CURS.AMOUNT_2005;
ALERT_BUTTON := SHOW_ALERT('WAIT');
IF ALERT_BUTTON = ALERT_BUTTON1 THEN
MESSAGE('SAVING ...');
insert code to save the change here
ELSE
MESSAGE('NOT SAVING ...');
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
The problem is that in the first iteration of the loop, even though the values in the MAIN block are initialized before the SHOW_ALERT call, those values are not there when the alert pops up. I run the debugger and I see that the block items do have the values assigned. How can I ensure that the items are displayed in the first iteration of the loop?

Answer 1

I didn't when I asked the question but figured it out afterwards. But thanks very much for your NO_ACKNOWLEDGE as I was already getting frustrated with why the message didn't seem to sync either. NO_ACKNOWLEDGE fixed it.
Thanks again!
