Exit / Clear Form & raise form_trigger_failure

I hope someone has encountered a similar situation and can help me out here.
I need to provide the functionality of allowing the user to Exit or Clear a form in case there are errors due to item validations.
The problem I am encountering is that since the item validations have triggered form_trigger_failure, the Exit / Clear buttons that I coded with Exit_form / Clear_form do not work.
I can have the user use the Exit key to exit, but it would be great if there is some way of providing this functionality using a button.
Thanks in advance.

Thileepan,
Thanks for your suggestions.
I am already using Clear_Form(No_Validate) and the fields are set to Required = No, validation being done in a when-validate-item trigger.
I tried suggestion #3, but that results in the validation that takes place as the user leaves a field being lost, which they want(won't accept form level validation).
Suggestion 4 works for the clear form, but if I don't raise form_trigger_failure in the when-validate-item trigger the validation error message is displayed and focus moves to the next field in case of user input error. What I want is to have the focus stay in the field containing the error and still give the user the ability to Exit/Clear the form in case they get tired of trying to come up with a value that satisfies the validation criteria.
Thanks.

  • Avoiding Raise Form_Trigger_Failure built-in to Close a Form

    I am attempting to exit a form USING ONLY THE KEYBOARD without
    validating an item that was user inputted. However, the form
    will not allow it due to the fact that the validation trigger
    fires every time and raises a form_trigger_failure is occurring.
    I used exit_form(no_validate) and that does not seem to work.
    How can overcome this problem? Any help would be great. Thanx.

    Hello Daniel,
    try the following :
    1. Write a KEY-EXIT trigger at the form_level with the following
    code :
    EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
    2. How arde you attempting to exit the form using the key-board ?
    By pressing KEY-EXIT hot key suppose ?
    3. Are you navigating out of the item before exiting ? If so, the
    validation for the item will fire. This is because, the item
    validation event will fire before the exit form event.
    4. If you are not navigating out of the item and press EXIT key,
    the above code will work.
    5. Otherwise you have to turn off the Default validation by using
    SET_FORM_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.CURRENT_FORM, VALIDATION,
    PROPERTY_FALSE); and then exit the form, but you have to do this
    before EXITING THE ITEM AND BEFORE YOU PRESS THE EXIT KEY.
    Hope this works ,

    I actually want to achieve somewhat like this. When ever the charge account field start with 'X' or in other words if segment1 is 'X' and if changes are made to that line like note to supplier is changed and saved then the user should not be allowed to approve/reapprove the order and it shall pop up the message and ONLY restrict from going further if the user hits the APPROVE button. Highlighted in bold should have actually taken care of the requirement from proceeding to the next level of approval but it is not. I have had several debug messages and I am pretty sure that it is satisfying the condition of going to the PO_APPROVE block and still not raising form trigger failure. Could you please help me handle this scenario?

    Your Raise works -- it will terminate your procedure, Change_Detail_Block_Status.
    But, how are you calling the procedure? It is in THAT place that you should look for your problem.
    If you call the procedure, and then have coded EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN.... or something similar, you might be ignoring the "Raise FTF".
    In addition, you probably need to add these lines in your form where navigation or a commit or similar code causes a trigger to call your procedure:
    If not Form_Success then
    Raise Form_Trigger_Failure;
    End if;

    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.

  • What is diffrerence between return builtin and raise form_trigger_failure

    what is diffrerence between return builtin and raise form_trigger_failure

    I believe you mean using the keyword RETURN; in a forms trigger versus raise form_trigger_error
    Mostly Depends on what trigger it is used in
    Generally
    Return: Stops the execution of the trigger and exits when it encounters the return keyword, however, no additional checks or form status settings are made. Acts like trigger fired successfully.
    Raise form_trigger_failure: Sets forms/block/record status (at appropriate level) depends on trigger may rollback etc.. see trigger defintions.

  • Raise form_trigger_failure ???

    i have a code on save button click as:

    end if;
    if issue_qty is greater than requisition_qty then will record save in database due to commit_form statement.
    in which case records do save in db.
    and what changes will rollback if form_trigger_failure raised as we issue commit_form statement in above code?
    as i know no changes should save in db but i am not sure.
    please clear my doubt .

  • Clear-form(no_validate)

    I am using Forms 6i. In my form, I have one button called 'Clear'. In when-button-pressed trigger I have written the code as Clear-form(no_validate). Also I have one more field in which i have written some code in the 'when validate item' trigger(I am validating the number entered if it is wrong i am raising raise form_trigger_failure). Now the text field is having some invalid number, I want to clear the form instead of retyping the number. When I press the 'clear button', still the validation code is executed for that field and I am unable to clear the form. Is there any way to solve this problem.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi prasad thanks

  • Whats raise form_trigger_failure do??

    what does a raise form_trigger_failure do??
    is it like if the form fails the activate then raise this error ??

    It is important to understand that raising the error prevents the triggering event from being completed. For example, failure in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM results in the item remaining marked as requiring validation and prevents navigation out of the item (assuming validation unit is set to item). Failure in any commit time trigger will prevent the commit, etc.

    Hi
    In a very basic and generic to explain 'Raise Form_Trigger_Failure' is , when you want to tell the end user that their input is not correct, use this statement. By using this statement oracle will not allow user further action.
    Hope you understood. If not the read the Forms 6I document which will be very help full - you can get it from below link simply

  • RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE is not working

    I am customizing a medical form with two blocks: cov_med_prem_header and cov_med_prem_lines. When user select emp_group from header, the list of medical program with end_date = '31-DEC-4712' will show at the detail block. Once a year at the open enrollment, HR will end date the previous year's program and enter the same programs but with different premium, also set the end_date = '31-DEC-4712'. In order to prevent user from enter to the wrong record, I added when-validate-record trigger for the detail block:
    declare
    max_effective_end_date DATE;
    begin
    select effective_end_date
    into max_effective_end_date
    from cov.cov_medical_premiums
    where emp_group = :cov_med_prem_header.emp_group
    and coverage_type = :cov_med_prem_lines.coverage_type
    and part_time = :cov_med_prem_lines.part_time
    and med_provider = :cov_med_prem_lines.med_provider
    and sysdate between effective_start_date and effective_end_date;
    if (:system.record_status = 'INSERT') and (max_effective_end_date = '31-DEC-4712') then
    MESSAGE ('YOU HAVE ENDTERED THE WRONG RECORD. PLEASE CHECK AND TRY AGAIN!');
    RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
    end if;
    exception
    when others then null;
    end;
    But the RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE is not working because the exception, but if I take out the exception part, I am not able to insert into the form, message like unhandled exception.
    Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

    Hi,
    There should not be an Exception part if you are using Form_Trigger_failure. So first find out what exception you are getting with the code, commenting out the raise form_trigger_failure. And first handle that, and then remove the exception part and use form_trigger _failure                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

  • Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE don't work well.

    Dear All,
    I'm facing a problem that I can't understand well.
    I have a screen that contain two fields: Field1 and Field2.
    The control I had to add: is to avoid saving duplicate records, and also do not save a record if one of these fields is empty.
    I wrote the trigger KEY_COMMIT, where I did:
    Line: -----
    declare
         x number;
         ret number;
    begin
    if ( (:Field1 is null ) and (:Field2 is null ) ) then
         ret:=msgbox('Please choos a Field1 and Field2');
                   RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;      
    else if ( (:Field1 is null ) or (:Field2 is null ) ) then
         ret:=msgbox('Please Enter Field1 and Field2');
                   RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
                   else
                        begin
                        select count(*) into x from TABLE1 where xxxxxxxx=:Field1;
                        exception when others then
                             x:=0;
                        end;
                        if x>0 then
                             ret:=msgbox('Field1 Already Registred');
                             :Field2:='';
                                                 RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
                        else
                             commit;
                        end if;
    end if;
    end if;
    end;
    Line: -----
    The problem in that is when I click on EXIT button, I get this message: " Do you want to save all modifications you made? "
    If I click YES => I find in te table TABLE1 that, also the records having one of the above fields empty, are saved.
    How Come?
    As I know, Raise FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE must stop the trigger and then, no commit. It's not the case !
    Can someone help me in that? Did I wrote the wrong trigger ?
    Many Thanks for your help.
    Imad QANDOUCI

    you wrote an KEY-COMMIT Trigger. But you press KEY-EXIT. Why should KEY-COMMIT Trigger fire on KEY-EXIT?
    Put your checks to PRE-INSERT and PRE-UPDATE triggers (to both!). Best, avoid duplicate code by writing a procedure consisting the checks and coll the procedure in the triggers.

  • Raise form_trigger_failure do not work

    Hi,
    I catch an error in on-error trigger and raise form_trigger_failure, this should be triggered when user clic <ok> button, that works, but in this screen user can go to menu and use another option that opens another screen, when user do that, the error message is displayed but form_trigger_failure do not raise and this another screen can be opened, does someone has any idea on how to fix it? Thanks.

    RAISED_FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE will trigger only for the form whish has that command. So it will not failed when user navigate to anotyher form.
    What you want to do is if you get this message then poup a modal window and show the error. So at that time user unable to goto any other form because they can not navigate to any other window other than the modal window with the error
    Thanks

  • Raise form_trigger_failure not wokring on validate records

    hi,
    I wrotea block level trigger WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD, which do some screen level validation and
    in case of failure i use RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE. working fine if i move records
    another trigger is KEY-COMMIT on form level.
    which calling a program unit where a command is FIRST_RECORD
    now when i save the records using the save button
    its call FIRST_RECORD, because of this command its executing WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM
    and execute RAISE FORM-TRIGGER-FAILURE
    but system continue the executaion and jump back to key-commit triiger
    why WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORDS 's raise is not working...
    thanks

    set key-commit-trigger at block level.
