[Solved] Problem with LOV and 'enter query' mode

Hi all,
I'm kind of new to Forms and I'm having some problems that I'm not being able to resolve. I already search it on the net, but nothing relevant came up. If anyone could help me I appreciated it.
In my form I have some fields, and in one of them I have a LOV, and almost everything works fine. I inserted data, changed it, deleted it and all it's ok.
But when I change to 'enter query' mode, when I try to search for data on the LOV field it ignores what I write.
That is, for it, it's the same if I make F11 -> write 'aaaa' -> ctrl + F11 or if I make F11 -> '%' -> ctrl + F11.
It behaves the same way, shows me all the records.
Probably I'm missing something basic, but I'm not getting it...
Thanks,
Ana

when you create a lov by wizard the lov and record group have always the same name..
the problem is that the item is NOT based in the tabe.
what kind of query do you execute if you choose something from a love which is not based on the db?
i mean, this item has no influence on the query of the table, so whatever you choose it's like a "select * from table"
i hope i was clear

How can I filter a table from Data Control without enter query

I have a table from a web service data control based on WSDL.
I want to filter the table without input query at filter text box. Without filter text box, each would filter the table with a hardcoded query internally.
For example, when user click A menu button then it filters the table where type = '1' and B menu button filters the table by type='2' and C menu button filters the table by type=' ' .
How can I filter the table without enter query?
Could anyone point me to a solution please.
Thanks.

Hi,
when you created the table, did you try selecting the "filter" option. Select the table and go to the Property Inspctor. In the tool bar of the Property Inspector there is an icon to change the configuration. Its adding filter filter fields for the user to search in.
Option 2: The data of the Web Service actually is held in the iterators. If you wanted to filter the WebService query, I would not use the WS DC but a JAX-WS proxy in a POJO to fetch the WS Data. Then have the Data Control created from the POJO. You could have a method exposed on the POJO that allows you to filter the internally held data

When new record instance trigger at Fire Enter Query event is throwing erro

HI
I have the following code on when new record instance which is set to fire at Enter Query Mode
IF :SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS <> 'QUERY' THEN
rec_num:=Get_Block_Property( 'MASTER', CURRENT_RECORD);
GO_ITEM('DETAIL.ITEM_NAME');
CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
GO_BLOCK('MASTER');
GO_RECORD(rec_num);
END IF;
But this is throwing error when I am querying record on master block.
It says 'Function not allowed.Please see a list of keys or functions'
Thanks in advance.

hi,
GO_ITEM( ) procedure is resctricted procedure.It can not be used in Enter Query mode to navigate to an item in a different block.
You can check wheter rest of the procedures are Enter Query Mode -Yes/No thourgh forms help window.

FRM-41361 Cannot navigate out of current form in Enter-Query Mode

Hi All,
I am getting the FRM-41361 error in the bottom message area when opening a form from the function navigator. The issue does not exist when opening the form from the application homepage. The form is loaded in enter-query mode, and the enter_query command is in the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger. I have checked all triggers that fire after this point for any type of navigation but do not see any. The interesting thing is, if I put a fnd_message.set_string and fnd_message.show just before the enter_query call to debug, the issue goes away entirely.
Is it possible there are security triggers firing after the form is loaded into enter-query mode that could be causing this and that the fnd_message calls are indeed buying time for those triggers to complete before the enter_query call?
Any help/advice is appreciated. Thanks!
Dan

Yes, when I looked through the triggers I made sure to look for go_block and go_item calls as well as any calls to leave the form.

Pre-parsing user-entered query strings

I'm looking for a robust PL/SQL (or other) script for pre-parsing user-entered query strings, so I can make intermedia work like familiar search engines. (Think Yahoo/Alta Vista.) It has to deal gracefully and intuitively with embedded special characters, boolean constructs, quoted literals, etc.
Has Oracle released anything like this?

There's example code in "The Button" download from http://technet.oracle.com/products/intermedia in the file "avquery.java".
Putting the query directly into ABOUT() also works if you don't need to clean up end-user input.

Change background color in enter-query mode

Hi everyone,
I am trying to Change background color in enter-query mode in forms10g. I am using this
Set_Item_property('org.branch_code', BACKGROUND_COLOR, 'Green' );
Thanks

This is the code that allows to colorise items in enter_query mode, then de-colorize them after execute_query.
Assume that you have created a VA_QUERY visual atribute in your module.
-- Colorise in enter-query mode --
PROCEDURE Start_query IS
LC$Block      Varchar2(30) := Name_in('system.trigger_block') ;
LC$item       varchar2(60);
LC$itemdeb    varchar2(60);
LN$len        pls_integer ;
BEGIN
lc$itemdeb := get_block_property(LC$BLOCK, FIRST_ITEM) ;
lc$item := LC$BLOCK || '.' || lc$itemdeb ;
while lc$itemdeb is not null Loop
    IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , ITEM_TYPE) NOT IN ('BUTTON','RADIO GROUP','DISPLAY ITEM') Then
      IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , QUERYABLE ) = 'TRUE' Then
        set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_QUERY');
      End if ;
    End if ;
    lc$itemdeb := get_item_property( lc$item, NEXT_NAVIGATION_ITEM );
    lc$item := LC$BLOCK || '.' || lc$itemdeb ;
end loop ;
END;
-- Unclororize after execute_query --
PROCEDURE End_query IS
LC$Block     Varchar2(30) := Name_in('system.trigger_block') ;
LC$item     varchar2(60);
LC$itemdeb     varchar2(60);
LN$len          pls_integer ;
LN$Multi pls_integer ;
BEGIN
lc$itemdeb := get_block_property(LC$BLOCK, FIRST_ITEM) ;
lc$item := LC$BLOCK || '.' || lc$itemdeb ;
LN$Multi := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(LC$Block , RECORDS_DISPLAYED ) ;
while lc$itemdeb is not null Loop
    IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , ITEM_TYPE) NOT IN ('BUTTON','RADIO GROUP','DISPLAY ITEM') Then
      IF GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(LC$Item , QUERYABLE ) = 'TRUE' Then
         If LN$Multi > 1 Then
            set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, 'VA_CURRENT_RECORD');
         Else
            set_item_property(LC$item, CURRENT_RECORD_ATTRIBUTE, '');
         End if ;
      End if ;

    lc$itemdeb := get_item_property( lc$item, NEXT_NAVIGATION_ITEM );

Cursor remaining in the current item even after pressing Enter-Query

We have an application running in 10g.
We are getting similar problems in three forms of the application.
In the form there are 2 datablocks which has a master-detail relationship.
After the data for the first datablock is retreived, when I click on any of the items and give enter-query, the cursor remains in the same item.
Ideally the cursor should move to the first item in the datablock after entering the enter-query mode. But it is not happening.
This is working fine in the other forms. When i give enter-query, the cursor is going back to the first item.
Only in these three forms, it is behaving differently.
Expecting a quick reply...

did you check if the items in object navigator have the same order as on canvas?
in normal case the cursor goes to the first enterable item in block when entering in query mode.
as workaround you can write your own KEY-ENTQRY trigger:
ENTER_QUERY;
GO_ITEM('YOUR_BLOCK.YOUR_ITEM');

How to display LOV on web in ENTER-QUERY mode with form or block query only.

Hello all
How can I display lov automatic on the web in from enter-query
mode in form or block query only mode.
thankx

If I understand correctly your explanation, your called form
fails to activate the LOV in enter-query mode when it is deployed
and test on the browser.
So lets proceeed like this, to make it work in all environments,
let us programetically activate the LOV.
HOW?
In the called form, write in the WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE TRIGGER
at block level (if have more than one LOV)
IF :SYSTEM.MODE = 'ENTER-QUERY' THEN
IF get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name) IN ('YOUR
LOV1', 'LOV2' etc) THEN
IF SHOW_LOV(get_item_property(:system.cursor_item,lov_name))
THEN
NULL;
END IF;
END IF;
END IF;
The above code maybe tweak to suite your need and condition.
This way, we explicitly make the LOV appear in ENTER-QUERY mode
whenever the user clicks on an item with an attached LOV.
Hope this helps.

Problem in enter-query and execute-query in TEMPLATE.fmb in Oracle Apps R11

I have created the form using TEMPLATE.fmb in Oracle Apps R11i. There is 2 problems listed below when it queries the records:-
1) Cannot query the record by the specific value e.g. Cannot retrieve the PO records by entering the specific PO number.
2) Always display the message 'Do you want to save the record?' whenever the <ENTER-QUERY> key (i.e. F11) is pressed.
HOWEVER, it works fine for ALL records without entering any specific values.
Does anybody help to solve these two problems? Any hints? Thanks for any helps.

try setting the block status to query or record
status to new prior to getting in the enter-query
mode.
Thanks

How to implement enter-query , execute-query in Apex Forms

Hi,
I am new to Oracle Application Express. I want to know what is the equivalent of ENTER-QUERY and EXECUTE-QUERY features of Oracle Forms in Oracle APEX? I saw a lot of documentation, but everywhere I found that APEX forms only have 3 database actions, (1) INSERT (2) UPDATE & (3) DELETE.
Does anybody know how we can do QUERY in APEX Forms? (like we do in Oracle Developer Forms).
Thanks in advance.

Oracle APEX is a web/ stateless environment. So you do not have the same functionality/ features as in a Oracle Forms environment which is session/state oriented.
You can however achieve functionality similar to Enter Query / Execute Query through other means.
The easiest is to use the Forms with Report wizard. It creates 2 pages, the first one is a report and the other a Form. Clicking on the Report rows takes you to the Form page in Edit mode where as the the Create button takes you to the Form in Insert mode.
If you want to have the enter-query / execute query on a single page it will require significant effort and skills. Try it when you have acquired some more skills in Apex.
In APEX , like any other web application, you have to think in the web paradigm and not client-server. Even Forms 11g is essentially client-server like and is session oriented through the forms applet.

Prevent interpretation of special characters in enter-query mode

My problem goes as follows:
- forms version: Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.10.3 (Production)
- non-database item block.X, char
- block.X is filled in post-query trigger. The post-query logic cannot be integrated in a view because it uses procedures, and usage of a pipelined function + view is currently not allowed due to "internal restrictions". Put simply: all logic to fill the field must remain in the post-query trigger
- user wants the field to be queryable. This is achieved by storing the entered criterium in a variable in the pre-query trigger, and using it in the post-query trigger to exclude records. E.g.
pre-query ==> help_block.query_X := block.X;
post-query ==> if help_block.query_X is not null and block.X is null or not block.X like help_block.query then raise form_trigger_failure; end if;
- this works fine for "regular" search strings. However:
- whenever the search string starts with <, <=, >, >=, !, forms seems to interpret the leading characters before doing anything else. During pre-query, block.X is null, and as soon as I use it in pl/sql, I get FRM-40831: Truncation Occured: value too long for field. E.g.
user puts the following in block.X ==> '<X', so he wants to search for records with value '<X' (text; not 'smaller than ...')
pre-query => msg.show(block.X) ==> appears to be empty/null, but right after the message, I get FRM-40831 Truncation Occured: value too long for field ...
This only happens if < is the first non-space character in the search string.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent oracle from interpreting the <, <=, ... characters entered in enter-query mode?

I'm sorry for not making myself clear; I'll give it another go:
The problem is that, if I enter '<abc' in a form field in enter-query mode (so during creation of the "example record"), forms immediately interprets the < as 'smaller than' and does some obscure things with it (my guess: converting to a where clause, but since I'm using a non db field, this actually does nothing), and finishes by erasing the field contents (in the example record). In the pre-query trigger, I can no longer get the '<abc' and store it. I want one of the following:
- prevent forms from interpreting the '<' in front (same thing happens for !=, <=, >=, =, ...)
or
- capture the entered string ('<abc') before forms reacts to the '<' in front

Initial Value in Enter Query Mode

Hi Everyone,
If you ever need to set a "visual" default (or initial) value for an item in Enter-Query mode, here is one solution to accomplish this:
Create a WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE trigger at the block level where the item is located. Make sure it can fire in Enter-Query mode.
WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE
If :system.mode = 'ENTER-QUERY' AND :system.cursor_item = <YourItemName> AND <YourItemName> IS NULL Then
<YourItemName> := <TheInitialValue>;
End If;You may wish to play with the "Keep Cursor Position" property of the item should you want the cursor to go back to the item position it was when the item was left.

It seems that your solution described solves my problem expressed 2 months ago....
I'll try it out....
Thanks......

Hotkey "Create Record" while the form is in enter-query-mode

pressing the hotkey F6 for create-record while the block is in enter-query-mode results in the error - message:
Function key not allowed. Press Ctrl+F1 for list of valid keys.
The error-occurs although I created a trigger KEY-CREREC. The trigger isn't executed
In older Forms versions the behaviour was different. Is there a way to let the form work like in the old versions?

thnx for reply.Problem not solved.
i m trying to assign the value of text item to a variable in pre-query trigger. i m able to get the value into variable when the string in the text item does not startwith <,>,=. but when the string starts with any one of the operator (<,>,=) it gives error.
lenth of variable is 1000 charaters, and text item's max leanth is just 4 charactres.

Changing visual attribute in Enter Query mode

Hello, I want to change visual attribute of all items in the first record when the user presses button for Enter_Query. I want that the user sees that the form is in enter query mode and it "waits" for the input of criteria. My code (copied from Help and modified) in trigger WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED:
DECLARE
cur_itm VARCHAR2(80);
cur_block VARCHAR2(80);
BEGIN
ENTER_QUERY;
cur_block := :System.Cursor_Block;
cur_itm := Get_Block_Property( cur_block, FIRST_ITEM );
WHILE ( cur_itm IS NOT NULL ) LOOP
cur_itm := cur_block||'.'||cur_itm;
Set_Item_Instance_Property( cur_itm, CURRENT_RECORD, VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'yellow');
cur_itm := Get_Item_Property( cur_itm, NEXTITEM );
END LOOP;
END;
where yellow is the name of my visual attribute.
The problem is that I need to press the button TWICE to color the record.
Can anybody help me with this problem?
Natasa

(Wrong forum).
The problem is that enter_query stops executing your procedure until
another action ist started by the user.
You must create a short-time timer before issuing enter_query and set
your colour scheme in the when-timer-expired-trigger.

Blocking some fields from entering in summary block in enter query mode

Hi ,
I have a data block where in some fileds have to be dynamically allowed to enter and some are not based on
a particular condition. The problem is whenever the forms enters enter query mode, all the fileds in the block are updateble. Even maually I tried to set/unset the property in forms using set_item_property, but the enter query mode was trying to overiride it and making updateble.
Please suggest a solution for this.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Lohith

Try the below code
IF :SYSTEM.MODE='ENTER-QUERY' THEN
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCKNAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCKNAME',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCKNAME',DELETE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
you can set the item here too by using the below code
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM_NAME',INSERT_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('BLOCK.ITEM_NAME',UPDATE_ALLOWED,PROPERTY_TRUE);Regards
Moazam
