Do you want save the changes

Hi,
I have an item in a block with when_new_item_instance trigger, which is to clear the entire form.
but when i make changes in other block and coming back to this item it forces to save the changes.
but i dont want to save the changes , so how could i avoid this message, tried with message_level
and some other options did'nt work out, could you pleae suggest the way to avoid this message. Thanks.

Simply,
you could write this statement in required trigger
Clear_Form( No_Validate, No_Commit );
I hop this would resolve your problem,

  • How to avoid the message "Do you want to save the changes you have made?"

    i have 3 forms
    master block
    detail1 block of master
    detail2 block of detail1
    when i go out of detail1 and detail2 blocks after doing some modifications it asks me "Do you want to save the changes you have made"?
    i want to avoid this message as well as my changes should be posted in the database. what is the solution for this big pblm?

    hi
    may be you are trying to modify the database item or reassigning the database item value which is not actually needed.
    try to comment the reassigning database values
    and give clear_form(do_commit);
    most probably u will not get the message again

  • Dialog Box as "Do you want to save the changes?" in Forms.

    Hi,
    I have 4 datablocks in my forms that corresponds View.
    In the form design, I have a canvas(multiple inserting design) with two buttons that calls the other two blocks.
    Am inserting the records in the following way,
    In first record,
    am entering the value in one block, then a button-press event and so it opens another canvas where I enter some values then return to my main canvas. This is one row.
    But while I try to insert in the second row, there arises the dialog box as "Do you want to save the changes"?
    I should not get that dialog box.
    Please suggest me with the solution.
    Regards,
    Mini

    Thanks for the response,
    Let me clearly explain.
    I have 3 blocks created from view not table.
    I have a canvas in the multiple display layout i.e Number of items displayed is 10.
    In that canvas, I have set the two buttons. the button event is calling another canvas.
    Am inserting a record in the first row in the following sequence.
    Inserting the values for some fields in the main canvas, then entering the button, it opens another canvas that responds to another block, there am entering some values and closing the button event canvas, then returning to my main canvas, then entering the remaining fields with the values, thus my first row ends.
    Now I want to enter the values in the second row, while I navigate from the first Row to the Second row, there arises the dialog box as to save the changes or not?
    I should not get the dialog box.
    Am inserting the values in the database using Insert statements in all the blocks.
    Hope U understand the issue.
    Suggest me with the solution.
    Regards,
    Mini.

  • Forms6i question - Do you want to save the changes you have made !!

    Hi,
    I'm developing a custom master-detail form for 11i e-Business Suite. The requirement is to programmatically default values for some of the base table items when entering the master record.. Both the master and the detail blocks are base table blocks and defined the relation between these 2 as well..
    So i have coded my defaulting logic in the "when-new-record-instance " trigger only when the "(:system.record_status IN ('NEW','INSERT' ) AND :system.mode <> 'ENTER-QUERY')"..
    This is working but the problem is even when i do not change any values in the master block and i try to exit out of the form, getting a message "Do you want to save the changes you have made ".. I want to get that message only when some thing else is changed/entered in the master block or when any new detail records has been entered for that master block.
    Thanks in advance
    Shree

    Shree,
    It sounds like you have a Post-Query (PQ) trigger that is populating items in your Form. This is the typical reason why you would see this message when you close your form and no User changes have been made. The best solution would be to move your non-base table items from your data blocks to a control block so the PQ trigger won't mark the block or record as "Changed".
    Hope this helps.

  • Gettins "Do you want to save the changes you have made" promt without any

    Hi all,
    Problem : I have a master detail relation between two blocks which are on different window ( say block 1 on window 1 is master and block 2 on window 2 is detail) ,
    when i open my window 2 and close it without any changes, then when i try to do any change in window 1 i get this popup message "Do you want to save the changes you have made".
    I have various non database items as well which are used to hold intemediate values like sum of a column and all.
    for the close button on window 2 logic :
         go_block('BLOCK1');
         hide_window('WINNDOW1');
    I dont want to change the message level. as if there are really changes made then we need this message.
    In another thread i saw this might be due to copy "value from property" created by master detail relation on the joined columns.
    Please suggest any solutions.
    Thanks in advance.

    HI I found the solution to this Problem:
    when we queried the data block then few items values were assigned . this changes the block_status to CHANGED as well as the form_status variable to CHANGED.
    so in EXIT logic of that window i cleared each block explicitly . this discards all the changes made to those blocks ( This logic was implemented for CANCEL button on my screen as so we need not save the data) while the SAVE logic already has the COMMIT so will not set the popup for that.
    Not a beautiful logic...... but works ...... :)

  • Show the alert 'Do you want to save the changes? after entering each record

    Hi,
    Is there a way to show the alert 'Do you want to save the changes you have made?', after entering each record.
    i.e. as soon as a record is entered, user should be prompted to 'Do you want to save the changes?' the record when they move to the next record.
    I used the below code in Post-Record rigger. Prompt was diplaying fine as per the requirement,but record was not being saved.
    DECLARE
    n_button_selection INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    if :System.Record_Status='INSERT' then
    fnd_message.set_string('Do you want to save the changes?');
    n_button_selection := fnd_message.question('Yes', 'No','Cancel', 1, 2,'question');
    IF n_button_selection = 1 THEN
    forms_ddl('commit_FORM');
    ELSIF n_button_selection = 2 THEN
    RAISE form_trigger_failure;
    ELSE
    NULL;
    END IF;
    end if;
    END;
    I used forms_ddl('commit_FORM') to commit the record. Because we can't us Do-key('commit_form') in post-record trigger. But forms_ddl('commit_FORM') is not working. So can anybody please give some idea regarding this.
    --

    Forms_ddl issues dynamic sql - you cannot call another builtin (like commit_form) within forms_ddl. Check form_status after the call and you will see that it failed.
    Moreover, forms is not able to execute the post and commit process if you issue "forms_ddl('commit');", so this will not be a solution either.
    You could use the When-New-Record-Instance - Trigger, which allows restricted built-ins to be executed, and issue do_key('commit_form');". However, you would have to check the :system.block_status or :system.form_status, because :system.record_status will already hold the new record number.

  • Unnecessary question "Do you want to save the changes..."

    Hello again,
    I have a multi-record block on which only update is allowed and two buttons: accept and reject. There are three possible ways of changing records:
    1. change values in some fields and commit - which works fine;
    2. change values in some fields and press accept button;
    3. change values in some fields and press reject button.
    Buttons have implemented delete, update, insert in some tables using a pl/sql stored package. At the end of the processing, for both buttons, record "accepted" or "rejected" dissapears from the block - using execute_query. Problem is that if some values have been changed before pressing the button, warning window appears: "Do you want to save the changes you have made?" which in this case is unnecessary and annoying. How can i get rid of this message?
    Thank you in advance.

    If you don't want commit changes on base table items you can use clear_block(NO_VALIDATE) built-in before execute_query

  • How to suppress 'Do u want to save the changes?'  When there are no changes

    Hi All,
    I have developed one form,which contains 3 blocks in that 2 are database blocks and one is control block.It's working fine.When I close the form without doing any change also it is showing an alert as 'Do you want to save the changes you have made?'. How can I suppress that alert when I haven't made any change to the form.
    I am displaying one filed in the database block as 'null' until check box is checked.For that I have written code in when-new-block-instance trigger of that block.
    There I wrote SET_RECORD_PROPERTY (GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (:SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK, CURRENT_RECORD), :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK, STATUS, QUERY_STATUS); also to change the block status as query.
    But it is not working, still I am getting the alert,How can I solve this could anyone please give me a suggestion..
    Thanks in advance.

    So, this functionality can be done through CHECK BOX itself. Why you are making null by WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE. You can just set the update and insert property for that fields and rest things you can control from chexbox. And WHEN-BLOCK-INSTANCE-TRIGGER will fire once when you will access that block. If you want to set the same functionality for each record. Then you must use WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE. for ex.
    Trigger = WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE (BLOCK-LEVEL)
    Here i will assume that if check box is checked then he can update that fields.
    IF :CHECKBOX='Y' THEN
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',UPDATEABLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
    ELSE
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',UPDATEABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
    END IF;In the above code no need for set value to NULL.
    And on CHECK BOX you can write like this...
    Trigger WHEN-CHECKBOX-CHANGED (ITEM-LEVEL)
    IF :CHECKBOX='Y' THEN
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',UPDATEABLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
    ELSE
      :FIELD_NAME:=NULL;  -- here if check box is unchecked then it will set value to NULL
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
      SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME.ITEM_NAME',UPDATEABLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
    END IF;-Ammad

  • Messagen asking for save the changes when open a workbook in BW

    Hi
    I create a lot of workbooks in BW system.
    If I run those workbooks it run's without any error.
    If I ask my collegues to run, ii apperars imediatly when the Excel is open, if they want to save the changes.
    If they say no the excel closes.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks
    Dora

    Yes. This prompt is from Excel and not from BEx. It just prompts you to save the workbook locally in your system.
    I think this can be suppressed using Excel options. If you save, then you are saving as an Excel (.xls) spreadsheet - it's not going to change the actual BEx query or workbook. Other related threads : http://goo.gl/bwNsV

  • Edit the field in an alv report, also save the changes.

    Hi Everyone,

    Hi Atrec,
    If you don't need your old custom template, save your changes with the same template name. It will tell you that this template exists and will ask you Replace? Say yes (if you do want to replace the old with the new!)
    To delete unwanted templates, go to Finder > Menu > Go and press the option key. Your Library will show in the Go Menu. Navigate to Library > Application Support > iWork > Numbers > Templates > My Templates.
    Delete any unwanted template by dragging it to the Trash or click on it then command-delete.
    Having gone to all that trouble to find My Templates folder, right click (or control click) on it and Make Alias. Drag the Alias to any convenient place for a quick way to get back to that folder.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

  • In Pages I used to be able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file".

    In Pages, In the past, I was able to edit a template and "save a version" to update the template. Now i have to rename the template to save the changes. Why is this happening? what happen to "save a version"? its no longer an option under "file". And I can no longer open the actual template, when template is clicked, it automaticaly opens an "untitled" version???

    In your description you say the first document opens as the Title you gave it.
    Templates always open as Untitled so it sounds like you have saved a regular document, perhaps into your templates folder which is possible.
    Since you have already worked on it and it has been previously saved, Lion will now Save for you and Save a Version is available
    The other document does open as Untitled so sounds like a real template and as Peggy has pointed out will not have either Revert nor Save a Version until you Save it and have changed something in it.
    This is a classic example of just how Apple's supposedly "simplification" of the process, is leading to confusion of what has happened. That the conditions and resulting actions from those conditions is so convoluted says it all.
    It all reminds me of the Monty Python Life of Brian sketch with the "simplified" John Cleese instructions to the class, as to if you have a brother in an older dorm whether to hang your hat and bag on the hooks provided. The trouble is Apple does not get the joke, that it is transforming itself into a frequently self contradictory bumbling bureacracy. The price of unchallenged self appointed geniushood.
    The incoherent half baked stumbling juggernaut has reached new triumphs with its edict on enforced Sandboxing on developers when it is unable to follow even its own instructions.
