Hi.
Anyone can help me, as I login from my application in Oracle Forms 11.1.2, BI Publisher 11.1.6
Thank you very much

I would not use the national characterset, but change the database characterset instead. Oracle is perfectly capable of suporting multibyte charactersets like UTF-16 or UTF-8.
Take a look how to verify if you can change the database characterset using csalter or if you'd need to create a new database:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/CharacterSetMigration.php
If you change the database characterset to e.g. AL32UTF8 your VARCHAR2 columns are multibyte enabled (and depending on your NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS the precision you specified are BYTEs or CHARs), and you won't need to change your sourcecode at all.
The national characterset is there to support multiple charactersets in one database; As you simply want to support multibyte it's by far more easy to change the database characterset. Change the database characterset to AL32UTF8 (4 byte variable-width characterset) and you won't have problems with charactersets at all in the future.
Also changing to NVARCHAR2 multibyte won't be a easy "alter table modify blabla", as the data itself also needs to be migrated. The whole migration plus the change of your entire code plus the bug that this doesn't even work in forms makes a reinstall of your database install and a characterset migration via exp/imp by far the easiest solution.

How to display a calendar from an Oracle Form?

When Microsoft Outlook is opened, is it possible to display the folder contining the user's calendar? What is the necessary code to do this? I want to be able to display the calendar and let the user enter information, delete information, view information, and update information. Can this be done from an Oracle Form? Could code be put in a When-Button Trigger to do this function?

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms 10g or 6i...

How to implement the spell check in oracle forms.
Is there any different method is there.
Please help me....
Praveen.K

Here is one different from Jspell..
In 6i client/server you can call MS Word spell checker using OLE. Below sample code for 6i.
For 10g you will need webutil to use same code. install webutil and just replace "OLE2." with "CLIENT_OLE2."
PROCEDURE spell_check (item_name IN VARCHAR2)
IS
   my_application   ole2.obj_type;
   my_documents     ole2.obj_type;
   my_document      ole2.obj_type;
   my_selection     ole2.obj_type;
   get_spell        ole2.obj_type;
   my_spell         ole2.obj_type;
   args             ole2.list_type;
   spell_checked    VARCHAR2 (4000);
   orig_text        VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   orig_text := NAME_IN (item_name);
   my_application := ole2.create_obj ('WORD.APPLICATION');
   ole2.set_property (my_application, 'VISIBLE', FALSE);
   my_documents := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'DOCUMENTS');
   my_document := ole2.invoke_obj (my_documents, 'ADD');
   my_selection := ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'SELECTION');
   ole2.set_property (my_selection, 'TEXT', orig_text);
   get_spell :=ole2.get_obj_property (my_application, 'ACTIVEDOCUMENT');
   ole2.invoke (get_spell, 'CHECKSPELLING');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'WholeStory');
   ole2.invoke (my_selection, 'Copy');
   spell_checked := ole2.get_char_property (my_selection, 'TEXT');
   spell_checked :=SUBSTR (REPLACE (spell_checked, CHR (13), CHR (10)),1,LENGTH (spell_checked));
   COPY (spell_checked, item_name);
   args := ole2.create_arglist;
   ole2.add_arg (args, 0);
   ole2.invoke (my_document, 'CLOSE', args);
   ole2.destroy_arglist (args);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_selection);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (get_spell);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_document);
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_documents);
   ole2.invoke (my_application, 'QUIT');
   ole2.RELEASE_OBJ (my_application);

Calling a Database Procedure from an Oracle Form

Hi,
I have a question we will be calling the procedure from an Oracle form and through that can we pass like 1000 input values to this procedure and we need to return certain values back to the Oracle Form also. Here the proceduere take two or more parameters. Please advice.
To receive the input values we have the input parameter of the procedure as type object, so that we can receive multiple parameter values.
Thanks and Regards

I need to make button which made a spool from my oracle forms 2.1

i need to make button which made a spool from my oracle forms 2.1
how can i do that
thanks alot

Wow, you just said the same thing. First, when you say "Forms 2.1" do you mean "Developer 2.1", which included Forms 5.0? Regardless, are you aware that these Forms versions are about 15 or more years old?
What you are trying to do is still unclear. Are you trying to output records to a text file formated to csv? If you need assistance, please provide some clarification as to what you are trying to accomplish.

Validate from list (Oracle Forms)

Hi all,
Does anybody know, how to simulate "Validate from List" functionality from the oracle forms with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
The case is for example (Empl, Dept), I want to create a table for the empl showing the empl info plus department name and allow the user assign the empl to a given department using only the name and not the department id.
Many thanks in advance.
Edited by: user5772728 on Feb 20, 2009 8:56 AM

Hi,
there is no list validator like this I am aware of.

Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but
in addition show the print dialog. My PL/SQL code is shown at the bottom of this post.
I have set the 'printjob' system parameter to 'YES' in the
report and I can bring up a print dialog using the reports runtime.
However, as soon as I run it from my form I lose this capability. Setting
'printjob' to 'YES' in the code has no apparent effect.
Many thanks,

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file.

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file. In the form on a button press I have:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('U:\ora_devl\pps\work\a.txt', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
-- :text_item5:=:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10);
Text_IO.New_Line;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
It gets an ORA-302000. I suspect the problem starts with the GET_FILE_NAME because when I comment out everything but that, It processes endlessly never ending.

What can you tell me? Thanks

GET_FILE_NAME will try to open an "Open File" dialog on the server, which obviously can't happen. If you want to use that type of behavior you need to use WebUtil and the function CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME. Example:
filename := CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME('C:\', File_Filter=> 'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|', dialog_type=> OPEN_FILE);Refer to the Builder Online help for more details. You can also refer to the demo which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
More information here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html
Also, it appears that you are attempting to use a mapped drive ("U"). Although this can be made to work, it is not recommended and in some cases will not be supported. If you need access to remote files, you should use some other mechanism to bring the file to the local machine before manipulating it.
