How to auto-generate a "empno" field at run time in oracle forms 6i

Hello!
I have connected to a SCOTT schema. And i am using emp table. At run time mode when i press F8 then the data is displayed in the fields.
My task is to generate auto "empno" as soon as i run the form. Kindly do the needful.
Thanks in advance

Hi Francios,
I think with your solution our user only able to see the current information in the form.I donot think it will auto generate the empno.
Dear user,
I suggest what you can do is to create one sequence in your database and use it to generate automatic
empno.
In post query trigger try to implement the idea.
Suppose in the name of the sequence is empno_seq.
if emp.empno is null then
:emp.empno := empno_seq+1;
end if;
Try i hope it will work
Regards

How to generate database text items at run time in oracle forms 6i?

i have a text item with NUMBER OF ITEMS DISPLAYED=3. My requirement is, i need to generate text items at run time under each TEXT ITEM(3 text items will be there since number of items displayed is 3) and the values will be stored in the database based on the primary key combination. pls help me to solve this pblm

Hi,
You cannot generate items dynamically at runtime. The only thing you can do is show and hide item on time. Thay seems that they are generated at run time. Second thing you can do is that you can put items on stack canvas and set visible property of stack canvas to no and at run time set it to visible according to ur condition. Otherwise there is no way. If you find any other way, plz do inform here also.

How to get updated value at run time in oracle forms

How to get updated value form oracle database on a field in oracle forms 6.0 at run time if the same form is opened by multiple users and both have get the same maximum value if one commit the record then how other would get that maximum value with out exiting that form...

This issue is fairly common and Forms handles the situation by displaying the error, "Record has been updated by another user. Requery to see changes." if a user tries to update a record that was updated by another user.
If your data is in a base table block, you can check before you save by checking the value in the form against the database using the Get_Item_Property('<BLOCK.ITEM>',DATABASE_VALUE). You can compare the value returned by the built-in against the value in the field to see if they have changed. This could be a lot of work and a lot of network traffic if you are checking numerous items in your data block. Forms has a standard locking mechanism that will lock the queried record as soon as a user makes any changes. If another user queries and attempts to change the record locked by another user - they will receive a "Record Locked" message.
Francois brings up a valid point. Perhaps you should review the link Francios provided as well as this one: How to ask questions the smart way
It is always a good idea to review your thread before you post it and ask yourself, "Could I answer this question given the information I've provided and the way I've asked the question?"

Auto fill redundant text fields at run-time

I have a master page with several text fields in the header. My first page of the pdf allows user to enter this info (in other fields, with javascript to copy to the header fields like this):
----- F.pgCover.editSiteNumber::exit - (JavaScript, client) ----------------------------------------
F.pageSet.mpgHeader.hdrSiteNumber.rawValue = this.rawValue
Pages 2-6 use the mpgHeader. Page 2 shows the correct header info, but pages 3-6 do not show it. If I dynamically change a header page how do I force all pages that use that header page to update... or do I need to set properties on my body pages or content areas differently?

Hello,
You could use the current record number in a When-Create-Record trigger:
If :block.sequence IS NULL Then
:block.sequence := Get_Block_Property( 'block', CURRENT_RECORD ) ;
End if ;Francois

How to Hide the Parameter field at run time....

Hi,
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
It has the LOV coming from following SQL.
SELECT customer_name FROM Cust_mast;
If the user = 'INTERNAL' then the Where clause will be
WHERE cust_id in('DELL', 'SBC', 'BANK')
Else there will be no WHERE clause or the parameter field
should be hidden in the parameter form.
So my questions are:
1) How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
OR OR OR
2) How to change the LOV select statement during Run time?
Thanks.
Ram.

Hi Ram,
Is there any way to play with the sql query SELECT using DECODE ?I'm not sure of this part, maybe someone else can suggest a way.
However, what you want can be done in 2 other ways:
1. Build 2 reports. Both reports will just be duplicates of each other, only difference being that the 'LoV where clause' will be different. Now you can fire the appropriate report in many ways. For example, if the customer is alreay logged inside your custom application, and therefore you already know whether the user is internal of external, you can design your button or link which launches the report to contain logic such that one of the 2 reports is fired depending on who the user is.
1. Use a JSP parameter form, not a paper parameter form In this case, just build an HTML parameter form in the web source of your report. Use Java logic to populate the LoV drop-down list. When you have to launch the final report, just launch the paper-layout of the report. For example (you will have to modify this):
<form action="http://machine:port/reports/rwservlet?report=ParamForm.jsp+..." name="First" method="post">
<select name="selected_customer" onChange="First.submit()" >
<option value="">Choose a Customer Name
<rw:foreach id="G_cust_id" src="G_cust_id">
<rw:getValue id="myCustId" src="CUSTOMER_ID"/>
<rw:getValue id="myCustName" src="CUSTOMER_NAME"/>
<option value="<%=myCustId%>"><%=myCustName%>
</rw:foreach>
</select>
</form>
In the code above, you will have to make sure that your report's data model defines 2 CUSTOMER_ID's (like CUSTOMER_ID_INT and CUSTOMER_ID_EXT). These 2 will be internal and external Cust ID's. Use Java logic to show one of them.

How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?

Hi,
How to hide the Parameter field during Run time?
I have a parameter field which behaves differently depending on the User logged in.
I am using reports 10G
For ex: I have 3 field created in JSP
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user = 'SUPER show all the parameter
CUSTOMER
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
If the user is 'GATEKEEPER" Just show
PROVIDER
FROM DATE
END DATE
Can I do that?
Please help
Thanks.
KK

hi, i'm not familiar much with JSP. but i think workaround is to create two window one which have 4 fields and the other which have 3. if user is SUPER then call the first screen otherwise if user is GATEKEEPER then call the second screen.

i have tried doing that, but still the field except numbersthere was an error in that code. it should have been

message('The entry cannot be numeric');
raise form_trigger_failure
exception
when value_error then

updated whenever a new object is entered into vector..You don't update the Vector directly. You should be creating a method in your TableModel, called "addRow(...)". This method will do two things:
a) add the Student object to the Vector
b) invoke the fireTableRowsInserted(..) method of AbstractTableModel. This will cause the table to be repainted.

How can multiple check boxes be added at one time to a form?

Thanks for your response, but copying and pasting creates a link. If the user places a check mark in one of the boxes, all the rest of the boxes will have a check mark also. I will research this some more.

How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?

Hi Gurus,
How can i see Log information of Report Run Time?, till now i am counted report run time manually. Is there any way i can see the workbook running time in log information?.
Thanks & Regards
Vikram

There could be a few things -
At one time, you needed to run a separate script to create the tables. I'm not sure that is still the case. If you check the Administrators guide, look into the chapter that deals with the EUL Status Workbooks.
If you are not logged on as the eul owner, you may not have select privileges, or you may need to qualify the table with the schema (if there is no synonym) - select * from <eul_owner>.EUL5_QPP_STATS;
If you are on 4i, the table is EUL4_QPP_STATS

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

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.
