Hi,
Simple, using current values you can create new id , 'old' and name so oracle will create record, now refresh block, next using next_record in loop you can find record,erase one and refresh block.

How can I code this in Oracle Forms?

I have a master-detail form. In the detail block, I have several records. Here is my name table.
ID Name_Type Name
1 old Mike
2 Current John
3 old Peter
4 old Andrew
I would like to create a button trigger which shall perform the following:
1) insert a record into database with a copy of current value. In the above case it will insert create a record for John as name_type = 'OLD'. So we have total of 5 records. Commit the transaction.
2) Scroll through my detail records (5) and go to one specific record and erase the values from it. In the above case, it should find John's record with name_type = 'Current' and erase John from it.

How can I make a catalog request form?

We have a catalog that we mail out to our customers. How can I make a form in BC that I can include on my site that will take the customers information and put it somewhere that will let me export that information once a month or so for mailings? Any ideas? Thanks.
Josh

Hi Josh,
You sure can!
Couple options I can see...
1) Have customer fill out a subscription form that will add them automatically to a mailing list after submitting.
2) Update the purchase form to subscribe customers to a mailing list after purchase.
In either case you just need to select the list you want the custom to be subscribed into within the web form. You can export the list or set-up a newsletter campaign to these specific customers.
Another option is to run a customer/order report based on your filters. Then use the subscribe option to add the group of customers into an existing mailing list.
Hope this helps!

How to insert special character from Oracle form builder 10g

Dear all,
I need help. how to insert special character like 'Superscript or Subscript ' from oracle form builder 10g. I had try in Oracle form builder 6i with press ALT+ASCII code in the text item and it work, but in the oracle form builder 10g this method doesn't work... would you like to help me...somebody please...
Best Regard,
Dedy P.T.

What do you mean by insert ... from Forms Builder? Do you mean you want to add it as text in a string of pl/sql code or as part of boiler plate text (label) or a value on the Property Palette?
For special characters you would need set NLS_LANG to something that would support the characters you want to use. For the Builder to see the change, you would need to set NLS_LANG to something like:
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
This can be done in the Windows Registry or system. As I mentioned, this will only apply to the Builder and will have nothing to do with a running form. For running forms you would need to set this in default.env. As for things like super and sub scripts, these are font formats and not necessarily characters. For the most part, I don't believe these are supported in Forms.

Shay Shmeltzer thank you very much for your so quickly response. I have modified the file and my form can run now!

How can I make a drawing with forms in a column, so that it is fixed to that cell and it will be printed on that cell?

If I have made drawings with forms in a column, how can I tie it up on that cell, so it wil be printed on the right place in that column.

If I have made drawings with forms in a column,
Not sure what you mean by "drawings with forms in a column" but if you mean you have a graphical object (photo, drawing, etc.) then you can select that image, command-c to copy to the clipboard, click once in a cell, and command-v to copy. That pastes it into the background of the cell. You can then adjust the width/height of the column/row as desired to display the image. The image will then follow the cell wherever it goes.

How can implement running total in oracle forms

I want to implement a running total in oracle form
like
100 100
300 400
200 600
500 1100
200 1300
100 1400
PROCEDURE calculate_srno IS
current_rownum     integer:=:System.Cursor_Record;
starting_srno integer:=:rs_1;
last_rownum integer;
BEGIN
     last_record;
     last_rownum:=:system.cursor_record;
     go_record(1);
     FOR counter IN 1..last_rownum LOOP
          :sum_1:=:rs_1;
          :rs_1:=:sum_1+:rs_1;
     --     :offered_srno_to:=starting_srno;
          if last_rownum=:System.Cursor_Record then exit;
          end if;
     END LOOP;
END;
it is not working after want to insert between in the table

Why write code for this? Oracle Forms 10g has Calculated/Summary fields that will do this for you without the need of writing any PL/SQL.
Simply add a non-table item to the data block with the item you want to keep the running total for. Then change the following properties of the item:
Data Type: Number
Calculation Mode: Summary
Summary Function: Sum
Summarized Block: <Your Data Block>
Summarized Item: <Your Block Item>
Number of Items Displayed: 1 (if your item is in a Multi-Record (Tabular) layout else you don't need to change this property.
You will also need to change the following property of the block: Query All Records: Yes
If changing the Block's "Query All Records" property causes your form to be too slow because of the number of records in your block, then you could keep a running total manually by using a combination of the Post-Query and When-Validate-Item (WVI) triggers. If your block does not allow data entry, then you could do this with just the Post-Query trigger. For example:
BEGIN
/* This code sample assumes you have added a non-table item */
/* to your block called SUMMARY. */
:YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END;If your block allows data entry, then you would add the following to your existing WVI trigger.
BEGIN
/* Perform your data entry validation logic first... */
IF ....
ELSE
    ...Validation is successful...
    :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY := :YOUR_BLOCK.SUMMARY + NVL(:RS_1,0);
END IF;
END;Hope this helps.

How can I make an existing pdf form mobile friendly

I have a mobile notary business and need to make Invoices for on the go.
What Ive done:
Ive created an image in Photoshop with basic text, table structure and company logo and save it as a pdf (saved file is 1.24mb)
I imported the saved pdf into Acrobat Pro X, added fields, and saved (saved file is 4.29mb)
The invoice is exactly how I want it, and runs great on the computer, but when I try to view it on my Droid Bionic or Galaxy Tab 10.1 using any pdf reader (including acrobat reader) it can't seem to open completely. It nearly freezes the devices.
What Id like to do:
Take the file Ive already made, and make it mobile device friendly so I can create and email invoices on the spot.
What are my best options to do this?

Well, I was running into problems saving a filled form on my galaxy tab and droid bionic, so thats why I was asking about the option... But I figured out the reader-enabled function and tested it (I had hoped to edit my post before you read it lol) but, it only gives me the option to "share" not to save. I tested it and sent emailed it to my computer, opened it and it was a filled form. One problem I foreseee though, is that the file (the filled invoice sent from my tab) is still editable. In other word, I could fill a form, email it to someone, and they could refill it to whatever they want. I need to be able to fill out a form on my tab/phone, save and email it to someone, and make it so they can't change anything... any suggestions?
Apparently "reader" for the droid system doesn't have a "Save/Save As/export" option at all...
But apparently if I open the Invoice PDF in Reader, fill it, then open the file in an office type app (I use quick office pro) Itll open the pdf WITH the fields fille, and then I can save as a *.docx file. But, it won't let me just opne/edit field in quick office. I've getting frustrated.
Found a solution XD an app that allows one to open a pdf, fill the fields, "flatten" (so its no longer editible), and save. qPDF Problem solved
It looks bad in InDesign, before exporting to PDF

How can I make Edit/Default Customization form with Java ?

In previous portal relise developers have simple way to rendering Edit/Default Customization form:
<% PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormHeader(portletRequest, out, null, "services_action", null, null); %>
<TABLE BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="2">
<TR>
<TD>Days</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="services_days" VALUE="<%= days %>" SIZE="10"/></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>Rows</TD>
<TD><INPUT TYPE="text" NAME="services_rows" VALUE="<%= rows %>" SIZE="10"/></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<% PortletRendererUtil.renderCustomizeFormFooter(portletRequest, out); %>
In current portal version I can not find these methods, these methods not exists in JavaDoc and in jar's. And all old code do not works!!! Why?
I must hide portlet borders and use <renderContainer>false</renderContainer> in provider.xml. Then portal do not render Edit/Default Customization form in Edit/Default mode. In previous relise I can make this form with Java code.
My question: how I can get Edit/Default Customization form in Edit/Default mode with Java code?
Thanks in advance

Hi George, the trick is to figure out which browser is your default now, and remove that designation using the Android settings for Apps. It might be Chrome or it might be something Samsung provides.
This article has more information: [[Make Firefox the default browser on Android]].
Does it work?

How to make a .exe from form builder?

Hi,there:
How can i make a .exe from form builder which can run without form builder?

Hi,
You can try to create a batch-file. For instance on WinNT create a CMD file. On Win95/98 create a batch file.
In that you can use (depending on where you've installed forms/ reports)
D:\orant\binf50run32.exe <user>/<password>@<database> <startform>.fmx
Hope this helps

Oracle Forms Builder 10g Questions

Good day everyone,
I want to start off by saying that I'm very new to Oracle Forms Builder (it was dumped on my table about a month ago) and I'm having some issues I need resolved in order to complete a project for a client.
I'm looking mainly for documentation or resources that will show me how to do the following in Oracle Forms Builder 10g:
* Use either the ENTER button or mouse click to navigate between mandatory fields in a form (currently only TAB works)
* Populate a field[s] after pressing a search button based on a SQL query
* Populate a field[s] on launch based on a SQL query
* Throw a warning message if an SQL query returns with a specific result
* Populate a drop down menu based on a SQL query (ie only show valid options to user)
* Remove static highlighting (fields should only be highlighted if necessary, which is never on this particular form)

I've been able to reduce my problem down to the fact that Oracle Forms Builder 10g is not configured correctly on my machine for my environment. I can seem to get Oracle Forms Builder to see my libraries. When I load the form I'm working on I get the following error:
FRM-18108: Failed to load the following objects.
Source Module:utlf_gui
Source Object: TOOLBAR_MDI
+... (many more of the one above)+
I press ok and get the following error:
FRM-10102: Cannot attach PL/SQL library sdsl. This library attachment will be lost if the module is saved.
+... (many more of the one above)+
From my various searches on the internet I've learned that this is because Oracle Forms Developer can not find the listed PL/SQL libraries and I should check my Environmental variables. I've set up two Environmental variables with the following:
Forms_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\ (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
Forms90_Path = C:\<project path>\Lib\ (This is the folder in the project folder where all the PL/SQL libraries are stored)
I created both Environmental variables because there wasn't any consistency on the sites I was checking to which was needed.
Also if I try to attack a PL/SQL library I get the following error:
Attached library name <name> contains a non-portable directory specification. Remove path?
I press yes or no and get the following error:
PDE-PLI038 Cannot open file for use as a PL/SQL library.
Any help is much appreciated.

How can we make disable a Field of a FORM at run-time?

Hi to everybody,
I want to know that how can we make a filed DISABLE at runtime <whenever we run a FORM>.
I know about SET-ITEM-INSTANCE-PROPERTY but don't know how to use it,
please make it clear.
I will be gratefull to all of you
Thanking you in advance.

There's no property values for enabled or disabled in SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY.
Instead what you can do is set INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and NAVIGABLE to FALSE which basically what a disabled item behaves like.
Regards,
Tony

How can I make a form show complex composite data?

How can I make a form show complex composite data?
We would like a form to display the following information:
Employee Names as the columns, 1 row for each calendar day, and each item in the block containing the total sales amount (and other information) for that employee for that day.
This would require the block to function as a (composite) crosstab report.
Here is an example:
We have employees: Jane, John, Jim, and Janice
We would like to see their total sales for the following days: 5/1 .. 5/5
Jane John Jim Janice
5/1 50 8 10 3 30 5 20 7
5/2 40 7 60 8 10 2 30 4
5/3 20 3 50 8 70 9 50 9
5/4 51 8 40 7 40 8 50 8
5/5 10 1 20 2 90 10 10 2
We have a table with records of each day, for each employee, and their sales for that day.
There is a possibility our list of employees can change as well as the number of days.
Anyone tried doing anything like this with a form? We don't want to just embed a report because we would like to include other data as well besides what is mentioned above and we would like them to be able to change some of that data. Thanks in advance for any help.

I have a VERY similar problem where I want to have this matrix on the form with six days worth of data (three columns for each day) for my data table. I have done as Momen has suggested and created a view (using SQLPLUS):
create table weekdays (weekday varchar2(3), date_x date);
drop view employee_absences_v;
create view employee_absences_v as
select weekday,
absence_date,
hours,
absence_code_lvid,
adjustment_status_lvid
from employee_absences ea, weekdays wd;
that hopefully provides a row for each day of the week for my data table. The view is created OK but I'm not sure how to get it into the form properly. Also, I am using the form to CREATE rows in the data table not just SELECT and DISPLAY and there may or may not be a row of data for a corresponding day which is going to be a problem for me using this view method, I think. Let me know how this goes and if you get your form to work and how? Momen, your method appeals to me but it's not 100% clear how to get it to work in a form?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.
