FRM-41050

Question

I have a form where a field (Tax payer id) is synchronized to a database column say column1. The form gets data using a view.
The tax payer id field is in the VNDR block. Update allowed is set to 'Yes', and locking mode is set to 'immedidate' for the block. The tax payer id field itself is a non-database text field with update allowed is 'Yes' and lock record is 'No'.
There are 'pre-insert','on-insert','pre-update','on-lock','pre-query','post-query' etc triggers on the vndr block. I modified the 'post-query' to get the tax payer id from a column2 if column1 is null.
When I run the form and query for a vendor (that has data in column2 and column1 is null) using the vendor# or the vendor name, I get all the information back except the taxpayer id. I also get the FRM-41050 :You cannot update this record message.
Any suggestions on what is causing it and how to solve?
Thanks,

Answer 1

The tax payer id text field is a non-db field synchronized to a db column. So, does any one know if there is a way to
set the text field to the column2 value with out assigning the column2 value to the tax payer id field?
Currently my code looks like this(this procedure gets called from the post_query trigger on the 'vndr' block):
procedure Resolve_num_1099 is
begin
  if :vndr.num_1099_mir is null and :vndr.individual_1099 is not null then
    :vndr.num_1099_mir := :vndr.individual_1099;
  end if;
--SET_RECORD_PROPERTY(:system.trigger_block,:system.trigger_record,STATUS,QUERY_STATUS);
end Resolve_num_1099;I am trying to get the value from the 'individual_1099' field and assign it to the tax payer id text field 'num_1099_mir' if the 'num_1099_mir' (which is synchronized with num_1099 db column) is null.
Instead of using the assignment statement
  :vndr.num_1099_mir := :vndr.individual_1099;Is there a way to set the value at run time?
