     row_number() over (partition by uuid order by timesheet_acct) rn
but form did not compile this while when i run the same analytic function in SQL prompt it runs fine. is forms support Analytical functions?? if not then what can i do for performing this task at form??

Ok, so look at this stored function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Return_Cursor
  PC$Select IN VARCHAR2
) RETURN SYS_REFCURSOR
IS
  cc  SYS_REFCURSOR ;
BEGIN
  OPEN cc FOR PC$Select ;
  RETURN cc ;
END ;
/Then imagine you can call it with ANY query like the following:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL> DECLARE
  2     cur SYS_REFCURSOR ;
  3     CURSOR c IS SELECT deptno, ename, sal FROM EMP ;
  4     rec c%ROWTYPE ;
  5     LC$Req  VARCHAR2(2000) ;  
  6    BEGIN
  7      LC$Req := 'SELECT deptno, ename, sal FROM ' ;
  8      LC$Req := LC$Req || '(SELECT deptno, ename, sal, row_number() over ' ;
  9      LC$Req := LC$Req || '(PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal DESC) FROM EMP ORDER BY deptno, sal)' ;
10      cur := Return_Cursor( LC$Req ) ;
11      LOOP
12        FETCH cur INTO rec ;
13        EXIT WHEN cur%NOTFOUND ;
14        dbms_output.put_line( rec.DEPTNO || '  ' || rec.ENAME || ' -> ' || rec.SAL ) ;
15      END LOOP ;
16      CLOSE cur ;
17  END;
