Go_block doesn't wait after execute query.

Question

Hi All,
I have an issue with go_block and execute query sequence. I have a code
snippet which is in a program unit called form key-exeqry trigger. As per
the expected behaviour the cursor should wait on the block for user input.
But it just shows the block with the details and moves to the next code
after execute-query. I added few debug messages in when-new-block-instance
and pre-query triggers for the block, but none of them get executed.
This block is being displayed through an another flow and there it waits .
Please help!!
Thanks in advance

if l_cnt >0 then
message('condition matched');pause;
     l_where := 'acct_no = 1114';
     go_block('sel_acct');
     clear_block(no_validate);
set_block_property('sel_acct',DEFAULT_WHERE,l_where);
execute_query;
     message('after sel_acct');pause;

You are confusing Enter_Query with Execute_Query.
If you change your Execute_Query to Enter_Query, the process will stop and allow the user to enter query values. However, your next line,
message('after sel_acct');pause;
will never execute.
But, you should NOT code the Enter_Query command in a process called by Key-Exeqry, since the user needs to press Key-Exeqry after he enters query values. Your process above should be initiated by a Key_EntQry trigger instead.
