Displaying Multi - Record Form

Hi,
How can i build a based table form, that dysplays, at the same time, by example 5 lines of one table. The users, may continue to do insert, update, query and delete like they do on Normal Forms. This Form, cannot be Master Detail.
Is this Possible using the Oracle Portal wizards? If don't, it is possible somehow?
If now some kind of help, please tell me something.

Hi Suman
IF :CUST_BLOCK.CUST_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
GO_BLOCK('XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS');
first_record;
FOR C1 IN C
LOOP
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CUST_ID:=c1.site_use_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CAT_ID:=c1.ipc_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.MFG_ID:=c1.mfg_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID:=c1.inventory_item_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_BASIS:=c1.price_basis;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_FACTOR:=c1.price_factor;
next_record;
END LOOP;
Try this. you are trying to show all the records in same line. so its overlapping.
Thankyou

Updating current record using SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY in a multi-record form

Hi,
I have a multi record form and am using the SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY method in the when validate trigger of an item. The problem is that it updates all records in the form instead of updating just the current record.
Any inputs to resolve this would be helpful.
Thanks

I cannot reproduce the issue here.
I have modified the sample dialog shipped with th article to have a block that displays 2 records
<p>See the screenshot here</p>
Here is the code in the When-Button-Pressed trigger:
Set_Custom_Property( 'BLZ.BEAN', 1, 'READIMGFILE', 'd:/coyote.jpg' ) ;
Set_Custom_Property( 'BLZ.BEAN', 2, 'READIMGFILE', 'd:/oracle_community.gif' ) ;So everything is ok for me.

Creating Multi-record Form

In 9.02 how do you create a form that displays multi-records? I have seen some threads about possibly creating a master/detail form (with some trickery) as a work-around.

Hi
I couldn't get your point... With forms the user are able to save data periodically and still continue inserting data... For example, if your users have to insert 100 records, they can insert 10, save the data to the database, then insert more 10 and so on. Except if you just want to commit once when all the records have been inserted. If this is the case, you can use a non-displayed control item of default value $$dbdate$$ - this way, I think that when the user inserts a new record, forms have to query the database to get the date...
If I got you wrong, could you give more details?

Clear form not working in multi record form 10g.

I have a multi record block form, when sys_indicator is 'Y' in any of the records, user should not be able to delete this record. In Pre_delete trigger, I put this code
below.
IF :CST_REFERENCE_CODE.SYS_INDICATOR = 'Y'
     THEN
     MESSAGE('You cannot delete this record. Consult your Administrator');
     MESSAGE(' ');
     CLEAR_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);           EXECUTE_QUERY;
--     RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
     END IF;
I want to clear form an re_query, but the clear form is not working. Help

CLEAR_FORM is a restricted built-in and is not allowed on PRE-DELETE trigger.
the purpose of PRE-DELETE trigger is to do some validation before the actual delete happens and may be delete the child records before the master record can be sucessfully deleted.
it will be better if you could explain that why you need some different functionality on PRE-DELETE trigger, which looks strange. Like, user is trying to delete the record and you want to restrict user from deleting the record if some condition is met and want to re-query. what is the main purpose of doing query here again or why you want to clear the form.

Using sequence in multi record forms

i have a post insert tigger which insert into a table which has multi record layout on the form. i want to insert the same value from the sequence into the table for the multi record.

This seems too trivial to be the right answer to me. I am sure I am missing something but here goes:
select seq_name.nextval from dual into package_name.seq_name_global;
if this is a record in the block you want assign the common id to then
table_id:=package_name.seq_name_global;
end if;

Error in Multi Record Form. Record has been updated by another User?

Hi,
I ma developing Form with 3 blocks (Control Block, Database Block, Button Block). In the Button Block i am updating one Row by calling Program Units as shown below
Select Print Id into Flag From <Table Name> Where <Conditions> For Update of <Column Name>. after calling this , i created another Program Unit as
Update <Table Name>

I assume that the table in your update statement is the same table as the one you based your block on.
You are manually updating the table, and Forms see this as an update "by another user" (even though it's you). To see the changes you made in your update statement, you have to re-query.
So, don't update yourself, let Forms do it. If you base a block on a table, everything is done for you by Forms.

Multiple-record form

HI Everybody,
Could anyone be so kind to assist me in the following problem? I have built a master-detail form with several records displayed. Screen items are Read/Write, Read-only and text for domains in popup-lists (these will be populated at the beginning using a record group query). Now, when I have executed a query and there are some records fetched, I can click in any record below, thereby leaving empty records in between. This should not be allowed, because Forms--allegedly--always lets you have a single last record empty (for input), but only one!
Thank you in advance, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

Raj,
The multi-record forms on tables currently are not supported by Portal. However, there is a creative workaround of using MD forms with one hidden field has been described in this topic:

Saving the record in multi-record block while updating

Hi gurus
I have a table name PT . Its is master table where PT_TYPE IS unique
desc PT
PT_TYPE VARCHAR2(2) unique,
PT_CODE VARCHAR2(4),This is the detail table on which the form is being designed is meant for insert/update/delete.Insert and delete are working fine.
desc PST
PST_PT_type varchar2(2) unique,
PST_A_code Varchar2(3) unique,
PST_A_desc varchar2(10) The form layout is a multi-record form as below and based on PST table with PT_CODE as non-base table item & PST_PT_TYPE
not displayed but its there in the block.
FORM_LAYOUT
PT_CODE PST_A_CODE PST_A_DESC
ASD          AS          TESTAS
ASD          AD TESTAD
ASD DS TESTDS.
Now the problem is when I am querying record through enter-query mode (say by entering PT_CODE 'ASD') and
change one of the base table items(PST_A_CODE or PST_A_DESC) values and commit it. its says '1 records applied and save'
but when I change ONE OF THE PT_CODE(non-base table item) values it says 3 records applied and saved. as the 3 records
are currently displayed when querying

Hi Craig,
Both below program unit is in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM of NBT item PT_CODE
--this is to check that valid pt_code is entered
PROCEDURE val_pt_code IS
     cursor val_cur is
     select pt_code
     from pt
     where pt_code =:pst.pt_code;
v_dummy varchar2(12);
BEGIN
open val_cur;
fetch val_cur into v_dummy;
if val_cur%notfound then
close val_cur;
     warn_alert('Error:The Product Code entered does not exists');
     raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
close val_cur;
END;
--this is to check that particular pt_type value is for the pt_code is selected
PROCEDURE get_pt_type IS
     v_pt_type varchar2(2);
begin
     select pt_type into v_pt_type
     from      pt
     where pt_code = :pst.pt_code;
     :pst.pt_type := v_pt_type;
exception
     when no_data_found then
          warn_alert('Error:The Syllabus Type does not exists');

Return amount of records after query multi-record block

Hello,
I would like to have a restriction in my multi-record form that counts the amount of returning records (after execute_query). If the amount is >= 1000 then I have to raise an error.
How can I implement this?
Best regards,
Ronny.

It most cases forms doesn't return all rows to the user in a batch unless the block property Query-all is set to yes. But if you have sum items based on that block, you have to set it to Yes. If you can turn this flag off and change the Query Array Size (block property) to 0 or something small (like 20), you dont have to worry about how many rows the query is going to return.
In you case, sounds like you want the user to put more constraints if rows returning > 1000 and you probably dont want the user to ever look those rows. You can do a
select count(*) from your_table
where --your critera
and rownum < 1001
before execute the query. But this select might take
a while if you table is very big in oracle 9i.
The easiest thing is to turn off the Query-All switch, let the forms handle the query and let the user decide whether to refine the query.

Problem in displaying records in multi record block

Hi all,
I have a problem in displaying records in a multi record block in a form.
I have 1 control block and 1 data block(multi-record block).
Control block has one item CUSTOMER-ID. Data block has many other items related to customer.
when a value is entered in customer-id text item, all the relavant details should be displayed in the data block.
but, the records are overlapping in the same line in the data block, actually they have to be displayed one record per one line.
The code is,
IF :CUST_BLOCK.CUST_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
GO_BLOCK('XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS');
FOR C1 IN C
LOOP
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CUST_ID:=c1.site_use_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CAT_ID:=c1.ipc_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.MFG_ID:=c1.mfg_category_id;

:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_BASIS:=c1.price_basis;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_FACTOR:=c1.price_factor;
END LOOP;
Please help me out..

Populate multi record display item

Hellou gurus!
I have forms 10g and i need to populate display item in enter query mode. My problem is that I have table T1 with some static values. Table T2 is through ID connected (reference) to table T1 1:1 cardinality and T2 table also have reference to T3 table.
I have block B2 based on table T2 and in this block I have multirecord item for inserting and updating new values for T2, but in this block ii also have no DB, multi record display item (because i don't want to allow editting in T1 table records) for diplaying static values for table T1. I want to display all static values from T1 next to the editable values in T2 (T2 multi record field is not insert yet). I tried for loop, select into but it not work. T1 values need to be selected before I started to inserting values into T2 items, but off course they need to be referenced It is hard to explain but i belive you understand.
Can you help me how I can populate multi record item??

You have to write the code again for your second list item....
group_id RecordGroup;
list_id Item := Find_Item('button.tyear');
list_id1 Item := Find_Item('button.tperiod');
status NUMBER;
rg_name varchar2(40) := 'recgroup';
BEGIN
----------------------------- LIST
clear_list(list_id);
group_id := Find_Group(rg_name);
IF NOT id_null(group_id) then
Delete_Group(group_id);
End if;
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query(rg_name,
'select vm_year, vm_year from fwqgl.vouchermaster
group by vm_year');
status := Populate_Group(rg_name);
Populate_List(list_id, group_id);
/* --------------------SECOND LIST ITEM...BUT REC. GRP NAME CAN BE SAME,better to use another name if you need to retrieve list and store qry..other wise the fol. code is enuf-----------------------*/
clear_list(list_id1);
group_id := Find_Group(rg_name);
IF NOT id_null(group_id) then
Delete_Group(group_id);
End if;
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query(rg_name,
'select vm_period, vm_period from fwqgl.vouchermaster
group by vm_period');
status := Populate_Group(rg_name);
Populate_List(list_id1, group_id);

Set "current" or "active" record in multi-record Report or Form

Im trying to use HTML DB for the following:
Display a multi-record Report (or Form);
Mark one of the displayed records as "active" or "current", saving its PK/UK or rowid into a variable/field;
After that, select a function/process to be performed on or on the basis of this "active" record.
This is very similar to what is possible in 10g Grid Control, when, for example, you dislay (Administration/Tables) a list of tables (in a schema),
"select" one of the displayed tables, and then request, for example, to view the data in that table.
The question is, how do I define/attach the "Select" field (single-valued radio) to each of the displayed record in my multi-record Report or Form ??

Conditionally display an icon for each record in a multi record block

Hi,
I am using Forms 6i. Is there any way to conditionally display an icon for each record in a multi record block. The SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY builtin does not have many choices. Thanks for your help.

Henry,
I doubt that. You would have to replace the text item with an image item. This however can't be done for individual cells in a table but only for the whole column.
On the web chances are that these could be handled with a custom PJC, but this solution doesn't work in client/server

How to set default settings to display record count in multi record block

Hi All
Whenever I query my multi record block, I get 1/? as record count at the console in standard Oracle Applications. Is there any setting so that it displays 1/50 (in case total record queried is 50). I don't want to set query all property of block as I don't have any control in standard Apps forms.
Thanks in advance
Navdeep

Check out the next_navigation_item option for the get_item_property procedure. If you use this you can do the process without having to navigate from one item to the next.
You can do something like this (untested) to move and resize the items (other than the first in the block):
PROCEDURE move_and_resize(p_item IN ITEM, p_width IN PLS_INTEGER) IS
  prev_item ITEM := Get_Item_Property(p_item, PREVIOUS_NAVIGATION_ITEM);
BEGIN
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH, Get_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH) + p_width);
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, X_POS, Get_Item_Property(prev_item, WIDTH) +
                                   Get_Item_Property(prev_item, X_POS));
END move_and_resize;
move_and_resize(myitem, -30);

Multi-record / spread table...moveable fields in designer generated form

Good morning all;
I hope you are doing good...
Imagine a multi-record block layout with it's overflow property set to spread-table to accomodate 10 varchar2(25) fields. Now, of the hundreds of users working with this generated form, not one of them wants to see the fields in the same order on the screen.
What i would like to do is generate the form from designer so that a user could 'drag'n drop' let say, field #10 to the field #2 spot on the screen. Something like windows explorer where you can move the 'Size' column around so it is viewable without having to use the spread-table bar at the bottom of the screen...
Any idea on how to generate this form from designer?
Thank you and wish me luck!

I don't know a solution, but I think a solution could be easier found if it was a read-only block. You did not specify that. Then maybe you could dynamically change the query behind the block.
Good luck, Paul.
