hi
plz check out the following threads.
Dynamic creation of record group
and
Dynamic Record Group
LOV (List of Values)
LOV is nothing but a form item which is used to provide list of values to a text field.
Each LOV contains a Record Group which provides the data to the LOV
Record Group
A record groups contains the query which is used to populate the values to the LOV.
To alter a list of values(LOV) of a text field, we should change the query of the
record group which is attached to the corresponding LOV or we should create a
new record group and attach it to the existing LOV.
Note : We cant create a new LOV. But we can attach a exsiting LOV to a form field.Method 1: Changing the query of the existing Record group
declare
rg_id RECORDGROUP ;
err number;
lv_id lov;
begin
rg_id:=find_group('LOV4'); -- LOV4 is the name of the existing LOV
if not id_null(rg_id) then
err:=populate_group_with_query(rg_id,
         'select deptno from dept where dname=''SALES''');
end if;
lv_id:=find_lov('LOV4');
set_lov_property(lv_id,group_name,rg_id);Method 2: Creating a new Record Group if doesn't exists
declare
rg_id recordgroup;
pg_num number;
lv_id lov;
begin
rg_id:=find_group('MYGROUP');  -- MYGROUP is the Group Name
if id_null(rg_id) then
rg_id:=create_group_from_query('MYGROUP','SELECT 100 deptno FROM dual');
end if;
pg_num:=populate_group(rg_id);
lv_id:=find_lov('LOV4');sarah
