Form A calling Form B, can I prompt the user for parameters?

I'm in the learning curve for Oracle Forms. I have one form that is little more than a menu of buttons that each call other forms. Let's say for the sake of argument that I have a button marked "Quarterly Report". I believe I have to put a call_form('quarterly_rpt_parms.fmx') on that button. The quarterly_rpt_parms form would just be plain with a single field the user fills in (quarterly ending date) and another button that issues a call_form('quarterly_rpt_view.fmx').
Is there a built in method of prompting the user for that date, rather than create a separate form just for that purpose?
Thanks in advance,
Darren

You can very easily put a prompt for the date on the top line of your Quarterly Report form, or you could put it in the form, but on a separate canvas, which would show only when the form starts. Once the user enters the date and clicks the report button, you could show the report canvas and hide the input canvas.
...and you don't need the '.fmx' in the call_form.

Can Signal Express prompt the user for the next ascii file name?

I am using the following to collect data from Thermocouples and Strain Guages in our plant. It allows me to plt data every second, while recording only every 3 seconds to cut down the file size.

Save to ASCII/LVM
The problem is that I have to configure the save step as "overwrite once, then append" so I get a single file each time the project runs. How can I get Signal Express to either prompt the user for a new file name with each run or have the ascii file saved into the log directory for that run. As it stands now, the file gets overwritten with each new project run.
Thank you.

Hi crawlejg,
You can set signal express to increment the file being created each time. But if you are looking for 1 new file each time the project runs you will have to use LabVIEW as this advanced functionality is not available in Signal Express. If you need help getting this to work in LabVIEW or have any other questions please feel free to ask!

Need help with re-prompting the user for input .

I am trying to wright a code the re prompts the user for input if they enter anything but an integer but I keep getting a "char cannot be dereferenced" error when I try to compile.
Here's what I have got:
import java.util.Scanner; // imports Scanner methods
public class SandBox
public static void main(String[] args)
      // re-prompting test
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Please enter an integer: ");
      String i = in.nextLine();
      for(int a=0; a<i.length(); a++)
          if( (i.charAt(a).isDigit()) ) {
              System.out.println("Thank you!");
              break;
            } else {
                System.out.println("Please try again");
                continue;
      int b = Interger.parseInt(i);
}// end of class
}//end of main method

Sorry for double posting but it won't let edit my last post.
I would prefer to go through it without using try catch because it takes longer though I will use it if I cannot get the other way working. I currently have two versions of the code both using try catch and the other way but both say that they "cannot find symbol" when I try to parse. here are both versions of the code:
import java.util.Scanner; // imports Scanner methods
public class SandBox
public static void main(String[] args)
      // try catch test
      boolean inputIsFaulty = true;
      int inputInt = 0;
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      do {
         System.out.println("Please enter an integer: ");
         String i = in.nextLine();
         for(int a=0; a<i.length(); a++)
            if (Character.isDigit(i.charAt(a))) {
              System.out.println("Thank you!");
              inputIsFaulty = false;
            } else {
                System.out.println("Please try again");
        while (inputIsFaulty);
      inputInt = Integer.parseInt(i);
}//end of class
}//end of main method
import java.util.Scanner; // imports Scanner methods
public class SandBox2
public static void main(String[] args)
      // try catch test
      boolean inputNotOK = true;
      int inputInt = 0;
      Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
      do {
         System.out.print("Please enter an integer: ");
         String inputStr = in.nextLine();
         try {
            inputInt = Integer.parseInt(inputStr);
            // this line is only reached if the parse works
            inputNotOK = false;
         catch (NumberFormatException e) {
            System.out.println("You didn't enter a proper number. Please Try again.");
      while (inputNotOK);
      inputInt = Integer.parseInt(imputStr);
}//end of class
}//end of main method

All of the sudden my music will not play nor will sound play on games or texts. It will work when people call but I can not push the buttons for volume control either. Anyone help???

Prompting the user to enter Parmeters

I am trying to create a parameter code that prompts the user to ask for input dates between Date1 and Date2 my code is below. How can I correct this ?
WHERE
( OI_ADJUSTMENT_DTL_PAYMENT.RESP_GUAR_NBR=OI_ADJUSTMENT_HDR_PAYMENT.RESP_GUAR_NBR
and OI_ADJUSTMENT_DTL_PAYMENT.SUPP_PAT_NBR=OI_ADJUSTMENT_HDR_PAYMENT.SUPP_PAT_NBR
and OI_ADJUSTMENT_DTL_PAYMENT.ADJ_HDR_ID=OI_ADJUSTMENT_HDR_PAYMENT.ADJ_HDR_ID
and OI_ADJUSTMENT_DTL_PAYMENT.AR_PROC_SET=OI_ADJUSTMENT_HDR_PAYMENT.AR_PROC_SET)
AND OI_REVERSAL_PAY_ADJUSTMENT.REVERSAL_DT BETWEEN @variable('Enter Begin Date MM/DD/CCYY')
AND @variable('Enter End Date MM/DD/CCYY')
AND OI_ADJUSTMENT_DTL_PAYMENT.TABLE_TYPE = 'C'
Thanks!

If you are simply running SQL statements in the worksheet (ie F9), you can use either substitution variables or binds as follows:
Substitution variables:
REVERSAL_DT BETWEEN to_date('&begin_date', 'MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date('&end_date', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
Binds:
REVERSAL_DT BETWEEN to_date(:begin_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date(:end_date, 'MM/DD/YYYY')
If you are running your statements as a script (ie F5), you can use substitution variables as follows:
accept begin_date char prompt 'Enter Begin Date [MM/DD/YYYY]:'
accept end_date char prompt 'Enter End Date [MM/DD/YYYY]:'
select ...
from ...
where ...
and REVERSAL_DT BETWEEN to_date('&begin_date', 'MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date('&end_date', 'MM/DD/YYYY')
You can use bind variables when running as a script (F5), but you need to use substitution variables to prompt the user for values, so for your case, there wouldn't be a benefit for using bind variables with F5.
Note that substitution variables are not character values, but rather part of the statement, which is you you need to put the quotes around them when simply using them for character values. Binds on the other hand are treated as character values and we don't need the quotes when using binds.

On the web how can I check the user role to display the form suitable for this role i

Hello
How can I check on the web the use role to display the a form for each role
Example
If the admin login I display admin_form.fmb and if user login I display
user_form.fmb
Thankx
Tamer

In my forms I hide tab pages according the role using something like the following script in the WHEN_NEW_FORM_INSTANCE trigger.
So the user can not navigate to tabs which are vorbiden by his role.
CURSOR users_roles_cur IS SELECT granted_role FROM user_role_privs
WHERE username=(SELECT user FROM dual);
user_roles_rec users_roles_cur%ROWTYPE;
IF users_roles_cur%ISOPEN
THEN
CLOSE users_roles_cur;
END IF;
OPEN users_roles_cur;
LOOP
FETCH users_roles_cur INTO user_roles_rec;
EXIT WHEN users_roles_cur%NOTFOUND;
MESSAGE (user_roles_rec.granted_role);
PAUSE;
IF RTRIM(user_roles_rec.granted_role,' ') = 'BLA-BLA'
THEN
tb_pg_id := FIND_TAB_PAGE('activity');
IF GET_TAB_PAGE_PROPERTY(tb_pg_id, visible) = 'FALSE' THEN
SET_TAB_PAGE_PROPERTY(tb_pg_id, visible, property_true);
END IF;
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE users_roles_cur;
Other solution may be is to use an initial form which only will detect the user role and run the appropriate form.
Other solutions are also possible.

Formscentral doesn't support direct delivery of filled forms via email at this time. You can however use Acrobat to add an email link to a form instead of a submit button. In this way the PDF will be returned to the email of your choice.

I downloaded an app off the store which said it was free and part of the 5 year promotion. I've been charged for the app by the store. I don't want the app and there's no one to speak to about it. Who can I call and how can I get the app off my phone?

You cannot call anyone. You contact them as everyone else does: http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
You delete the app as you do any other app. Hold an icon until they wiggle. Tap the "x". This is covered in the manual.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All the storage in "Backups" is taken up by local snapshots, which are made automatically in all MacBooks, MacBooks Pro and MacBooks Air with OS X Lion or newer and Time Machine turned on.
See > http://pondini.org/TM/30.html I recommend you to leave them there, because they will be removed automatically. However, if you want, you can disable or remove them manually if you want, even if there's no reason to do this. Have a look at the link above for more information

How do I put shortcuts to web sites in a (?) tool bar/browser bar...don't know what it is called. With IE, I can just drag the tab for the site to the area I want.

Near the right-end of the address bar is a white star which can be difficult to see, but look closely. When you wish to bookmark a shortcut to the toolbar, double click the star. A window will open with the name of the webpage. Under that is the folder box which will probably read 'Unsorted Bookmarks'. Click the drop down arrow and change it to 'Bookmarks Toolbar' then click done.
I have several folders on my toolbar such as Music, Mail, etc. in which I add multiple websites. If you wish to add a folder, click the second drop down arrow next to 'Bookmark Toolbar' and click 'New Folder' and give it a name.
To add a bookmark to a folder, again double click the star, make sure you are in Bookmark Toolbar and click one of the two drop down arrows to find the name of the folder.
For other bookmarks use Bookmark Menu. Whatever is added here can be accessed by Bookmarks on the Menu Bar. If your Menu Bar with Bookmark, File, View, etc. is not visible, click the Alt key and they will become visible. To keep the Menu Bar, click View, Toolbars and check Menu Bar.

If there's an Apple store nearby make an appointment with the genius bar to have it checked. Be sure to sync it and back it up, as well as import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts separately (such as by sync them with iCloud) in case it needs to be replaced.
