Error : FRM-40738

I am getting following error while first time running the form.
FRM-40738 : Argument 1 to built-in find_form can not be null.
But interesting thing is if I close this form without saving and again open it and run it then it does not give this error.
Any solution ?
I am using Oracle 8i and Forms 6i.

Do you mean you get this error at build-time or runtime? If it's at build-time, try forcing a compile all.

Export error :- FRM-40738

Hi All:
I've created a custom form based on PO Summary form. When try to export, system gives me following error (while export works fine for PO Summary):
"FRM-40738: Argument 1 to builtin FND_VIEW cannot be null."
Any idea what am I missing?
Thanks,

Are referring to Oracle Applications? If so, then you should ask this question on one of the Oracle Applications forums.

Forms 9i FRM-40738 Hyperlink Bean problem

Hello,
I've this error coming please help me.
I needed to see, how a bean is integerated in Forms 9i. I was
searching through the example at metalink and it gave me a
paper
"How to Integerate HyplerLink Bean in forms 9i", what steps
i followed are given in that paper.
Now when i run the form, it gaves me the error
FRM-40738 Argument to Built in SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY CANNOT BE NULL.
the steps i followed are
1- I created a form called hyperlink.fmb
2- Then i created a ON LOGON trigger at this form
3- I opened the canvas and draw a Bean Area on it
4- Then i renamed that Item to Hyperlink by Property Plattelete
5- I named the canvas CONTROL
6- Then at module level i created a TRIGGER WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE and put following PL.SQL code in it
DECLARE
hHyperlink ITEM := FIND_ITEM('CONTROL.HYPERLINK');
BEGIN
FBEAN.Register_Bean( hHyperlink, 1, 'oracle.forms.demos.beans.Hyperlink');
FBean.Invoke( hHyperlink, 1, 'setURL', 'http://otn.oracle.com/products/forms');
FBean.Invoke( hHyperlink, 1, 'setLabel', 'Forms on OTN');
FBean.Enable_Event( hHyperlink, 1, 'actionListener', true );
END;
7-Then i created a Trigger at CONTROL.HYPERLINK, that was
WHEN_CUSTOM_ITEM_EVENT and put the following code in it
DECLARE
vcEventData varchar2(256);
BEGIN
vcEventData := Fbean.Invoke_Char('CONTROL.HYPERLINK', 1, 'getURL');
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(vcEventData, '_blank');
END;
Then did the following steps of the locating the bean by the
JAR method.
Method 1 - The JAR Method:
a. Locate the hyperlink.jar file located in D:\9iDS\forms90\demos\hyperlink\classes.
b. Move the hyperlink.jar file to 9iDS_HOME\forms90\java.
c. Find the formsweb.cfg file in 9iDS_HOME\forms90\server.
d. Add the following configuration section to the file:
[hyperlink]
archive_jini=f90all_jinit.jar,hyperlink.jar
width=675
height=480
separateFrame=false
splashScreen=no
lookAndFeel=oracle
colorScheme=blue
The archive_jini parameter pointing to hyperlink.jar is the most important part
of this configuration.
e. Now go into Form Builder and accomplish the following:
Edit->Preferences->Runtime Tab
Add the config parameter to your "Application Server URL". It should look
something like this:
http://machine.domain:port/forms90/f90servlet?config=hyperlink
Then i compiled it and ran it, Now it gives this error
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to built in SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY cannot
be null.
P.S I have set the implementation class property but, still i don't know
whats the problem, and where i am making mistake, please help me.
Please any help will be appreaciated.
Sincerely
Tensed Beginner

FRM-40738 issue on AIX servers

Hi All,
I have an issue with populating the LOV of a particular field. The form works fine on linux server but throws error FRM-40738 on unix server.
Compiled all libraries in both the servers but still this issue persists. Can anyone throw some light on this?

Hi,
Thank you for the responses. After thorough checking we understood that the program code was not initializing the variables properly, so we had to modify few lines of the script to make it work on the new server. Somehow on original server(AIX5.2) it was not showing error with the script, but had issue with the OS upgrade to AIX 5.3. Apart from this one-off incident we have not faced any other issues till now. Will update if anything else crops up.
Thank you again !

Empty Error box raising FRM-40738

Hi all
While migrating to HSD6i/Dev6i, encountered following situation
- Open any form (e.g. HSD0022F)
- Query any record
- Use F6 and F4 to force duplicate value for an UK
- Press X in windowtitle-bar to close window
- Message QMS-00158('Do you want to save your changes')
- Pressing No, all is ok
- Pressing Yes, causes alert with message for UK-violation to popup (is OK) (e.g. HSD-00016)
- Press OK-button and an empty 'error and warning box in this transaction'-window apears
- Press OK-button and alert with FRM-40738 appears
- Pressing OK-button returns you to named window
Only way to close this window is via the menu-option 'File->Close Form' or 'File-Close all)
Has anyone encountered this behaviour and a fix or WA ??
rgrds
Jan

This is a new one. I have recorded a bug against Headstart for this.
I did discover one thing.
After the empty Errors and Warnings in this Transaction window opens, you can click back on the original window instead of pressing OK.
If you do that, you can close the window by pressing the 'X' in the upper right hand corner.
You will again see the message 'Do you want to save your changes?'. This time, select 'No'.
Now that one form will close and you won't have to exit your whole application.

1) FRM-40738: Argument 1 to builtin FIND_VIEW cannot be null.
2) FRM-41053: Cannot find canvas: invalid ID.

FRM-40738 cant identify the problem

Hi Guys i am getting this error again and again :
FRM-40738 Argument 1 to builtin Report_Object_Status cannot be null.
I have check the code and to my understanding it is ok, this is the code:
DECLARE
     report_id Report_Object;
     report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
     v_rep VARCHAR2(200);
     rep_status VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REPORT1');
     set_report_object_property(report_id,REPORT_FILENAME,'EMP_ALLOW_DET.RDF');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'html');

     rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP

END LOOP;
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN

substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=mas1','_blank');
ELSE
message('Error when running report');
END IF;
END;
Please help me out with this problem.
Regards, Imran

Hi,
print out the value of "v_rep" to see if this has a valid Reports ID. In cases where a Reports crashes (see queuemanager for details about the Reports run) it happens that a null value is returned instead of a job ID. This is a bug and should be fixed soon.
Also, since you are using REPORT_COMM_MODE being SYNCHRONOUS you don't need the LOOP in the while statement. Forms waits for the Reports call to return.
I know that the while loop is in the example code in the Forms / Reports integration Whitepaper too, but this is not needed. I'll remove it from this paper for its next release.
WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED')
LOOP
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
END LOOP;
Just use
rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);

FRM 40738 - Argument 2 to builtin CREATE_TIMER

Recently I migrated from forms 4.5 to forms6i (6.0.8.17.1). Everything worked fine until a few weeks ago. Every new fmx-file I create, gives a very strange error when the user moves his mouse over the icons in the toolbar: 'FRM 40738 - Argument 2 to builtin CREATE_TIMER'. The developers cannot reproduce this bug because it only occurs on the PC's of the users.
Can somebody help me?

ERROR FRM-40735 while migrating from 6i to 9i using FMA

Hi,
We have migrated a sample form which is in 6i to 9i using Oracle Forms Migration Assistant. It is compiling without errors and while running hitting the error
FRM-40735:PRE-FORM trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-06508.
and not opening up the form...Please post any suggestions on this.
madhu.

Thank you very much for the help...I could resolve it by just adding the appropriate pll's in forms90 folder.
Now, we are trying to implement the calender in forms 9i. As we are moving from Forms 6i C/S to Forms 9i, as a first step I've implemented calender in web forms 6i (using demo's in oracle doc's--using CalenderWidget Bean)
I tried doing the same for Oracle 9i too but it didn't work..I mean it is deleting the code for the trigger
WHEN_CUSTOM_ITEM_EVENT which is written for Bean.
Please suggest me regarding how to proceed with this...
thank you
madhu.

Error frm-41211

hello friends when i am using the following code
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
report_id:= find_report_object(‘MyReport1’);
ReportServerJob:=run_report_object(report_id);
END;
i am getting the following error
frm-41211 integration errror

This could be caused by:
-- Calling Graphics runtime a second time when the first runtime is still open (see Note 15219.1)
-- Failure to set environment variables TK2_PRINT_STATUS
PRINTER, or DISPLAY (see Note 1031534.6)
-- Calling OG_QUIT from Forms6i running on the Web (see Note 222334.1)
-- Memory Problems: Your PC must have an adequate amount of available RAM to run Forms, as well as the runtime of
the product you are integrating. Even though your PC may have a large amount of total RAM available, there still may not be enough real memory available to start another
Windows task. See Note 164945.1
I also suggest that you upgrade to the latest patch because there are various bugs filed where this error is produced that are fixed in later patches. For example, see bug 1872955.

i m using developer 2000 for frontend
when i try inserting data in the forms developed i encounter an error frm-40508 which says "unable to insert record" the corresponding ora error is ora-02291 which says "integrity constraint violated - parent key not found"
i have a primary key in my master table which is used to connect it to details table through foreign key.feilds for the primary key in master and foreign key in details are same
i dont have any such problem if i input data through sql command insert
plz suggest me some solution to this problem
thnx
nipun

Hi,
Just try watching is therer ar no unique indexes on that table where u are doing an insert. another reason might be the composite primary key or the combination that might be confusing you.
U can try out adding an exception block to the trigger and try raise when-dup-val-on-index exception
Thanks,
Vishal

Instead it displays error
