Hi all,
I have a form which contain a multi row block.
I put data in that block. Suppose that in the second column of
that block data no changes.I want to fill only the first cell of
the column and all the cells below first cell ( header) inherits
that value.

Block1
ITEM1 ITEM2
rec1 1 1999
rec2 2
rec3 3

INSERT INTO(col1,col2) VALUES)(2,1999)!!!.

Mr. Vali,
I suppose you want to enter ITEM2 value only in first record and
duplicate that value in subsequent records automatically. There
are couple of methods to accomplish this and the following is one
of them:
Add this code in WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger for block1.
IF :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS ='NEW' AND :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD > 1
THEN
IF :ITEM2 IS NULL THEN
GO_ITEM('ITEM2');
DUPLICATE_ITEM;
GO_ITEM('ITEM1');
END IF;
END IF;
good luck
