Hi Prashanth,
I dont think so OPEN_FORM will work out here.
If we want to call new form/open form insted of using call_form / open_form/ New _form
we need to use FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE which allows you to open forms without bypassing Oracle Applications security, and takes care of finding the
correct directory path for the form.
here FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE is similar to APP_NAVIGATE.EXECUTE,
except that APP_NAVIGATE.EXECUTE allows a form to be restarted if
it is invoked a second time.
So in the parameters of FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE,
open_flag indiacates Y/N.
’Y’ indicates that OPEN_FORM should be used;
’N’ indicates that NEW_FORM should be used.
You should always pass ’Y’ for open_flag, which
means to execute the function using the Oracle
Forms OPEN_FORM built–in rather than the
NEW_FORM built–in
i think sudharshan is using the right method FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE.
