Global variable to capture username with Form 6i

Question

Hi everyone,
I have a menu created with Forms 6i and the shortcut that I use to call the menu has in its target the following: C:\orant\BIN\ifrun60.EXE userid=username/password MYFORM.FMX
When I remove the username and password from the shortcut target it asks me for the username and password so when I typed, I am allowed to go into the application, but I want to be able to store the username on a global variable and put the value on a item when the user chooses the program that he or her wants to use, so they don't go to see other users information.
Can anyone please help me to do this step by step?
Thanks in advance!!

Can anyone please help me to do this step by step?You can developed a form named Login_form
Create On-Logon trigger at form level and provide the connection string like
declare
         uname varchar2(10);
         pass  varchar2(10);
     begin
         uname := 'user_name';
         pass  :='password';
         logon(uname, pass||'@orcl');
     end;now call only this form at your target... like C:\orant\BIN\ifrun60.EXE login_form
Hope this will help
