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 accomplish this in Oracle forms using a button-pressed trigger?

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 to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

Copy and Paste from Oracle Forms to Excel

Hi to All,
I ran into this unusal problem with one user. She is trying to copy data in a cell from oracle form to excel. She does control+c and tries to control+v in excel. The data does not get pasted.
I tried logging into oracle on her pc and do the same method. I get the same results.
We tried copy from the menu bar in oracle and go into excel , menu and do paste. And it does not paste.
I did a test from copy from word document to excel...that worked.
We tried a different pc and everything worked.
Is there a setting in oracle when i do a copy that is not copyin the cell correctly. Any tips how to resolve this problem.
Thanks in advance for help in this matter.

If it only happens on one PC, then usually there is a problem with the PC showing the "yellow bars" when logging into Oracle Forms. Otherwise, there is a more global problem with unsigned JAR files on the server.

How to avoid Duplicate values in Oracle forms

Hello Everyone,
I am new to Oracle forms, working on Oracle Applications : 12.1.2,
Here I have a form Receiving Transactions,
in that I have Lot_Number and quantity columns.
The purchased items need to be stored in Lot number.
If 100 quantities purchased then 100 quantities can be stored in single lot number
i.e
Lot_Number         Qty
001                100or 100 quantities can be stored in different lot numbers.
i.e
Lot_Number         Qty
001                50
002                50(The qty may differ)but not like the following,
Lot_Number          Qty
001                 50
001                 50.For second line,If they selected same lot number as First lot number,
The error message has to be shown as "Lot number duplicated,Select Different Lot number or update the full qty in original line".
Can anyone help me to solve this.
Thank you.
Regards,
Gurujothi

Hi François Degrelle,
I added the following Plsql in the 'When-validate-Item' block,
declare
l_current_number varchar2(80);
begin
l_current_number := :lot_entry.lot_number;
first_record;
loop
if l_current_number = :lot_entry.lot_number then
     message ('Duplicate');
end if;
next_record;
end loop;Its started to check from First record itself and giving the message 'Duplicate',
How to check from second record?
when the first record is entered it should not check when the second record is entered it should compare with the First record value and if it is same then it should give message as 'Duplicate'.
Thank you.

How to use BEAN in an oracle forms at client side

Hello,
I am new in oracle forms.I am using
OS-Windows 7.
Forms [32 Bit] Version 11.1.2.1.0 (Production)
weblogic 10.3.5
Now I want know that how to use bean item in an oracle forms.
Thank You.

Hello,
You copy the corresponding JAR file that contains the Java BEan in your <DEVSUITE_HOME>/forms/java folder, then you add its name to the archive tags of the forsweb.cfg file.
This done, you add a Bean Area to your canvas, set its Implementation Class property with the full class name, then you can communicate with the bean via the GET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY() and SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY() built-in.
Google could also give you more information.

How to draw vertical lines in SMART FORMS

Hi Guys,
Can anyone please let me know how to draw vertical and horizontal lines in smart forms, i have to do this in the secondary window.
thanks,
Ramesh

Hi Ramesh,
In the window output options you have option of check box to get lines.
Then you need to give the spacing for vertical and horizontal.
Another option is putting a template on window and getting the boxes, but it is quite little bit complex.
Put the cursor on the WINDOW in which the lines you want.
Right click on it>create>complex section.
In that select the TEMPLATE radio button.
Goto TAB TEMPLATE.
Name: give some name of line.
From: From coloumn.
To: To coloumn
Height: specify the height of the line.
Next give the coloumn widths.
Like this you can draw the vertical and horzontal lines.
If the above option doesnot workout then u can try the below option also
any how you can draw vertical and horizontal lines using Template and Table.
for Template First define the Line and divide that into coloumns and goto select patterns and select the required pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
For table, you have to divide the total width of the table into required no.of columns and assign the select pattern to get the vertical and horizontal lines.
if this helps, reward with points.

Naveen

How to print BIP reports from Oracle Forms?

Hi all,
I have a question in regards to printing BIP reports from Oracle Forms... We are aiming for a server installation of BIP with integration to Oracle Forms using SSO to handle security. We use Forms built-in web.show_document to render and view the report in PDF/Excel etc... We would like to by pass the viewing and print some of these reports directly to the printer.
Any idea/suggestions how we can go about this?
Thanks in advance for your time.
Yahya

Yahya,
via HTTP it's not possible to send a report directly to the printer. You had to go via the Scheduler, which is able to do that. With the WebService API you can call a report with the Scheduler and Execute Immediate.

How to use BULK COLLECT in oracle forms

hi gurus,
I am using oracle forms
Forms [32 Bit] Version 10.1.2.0.2 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - ProductionI wanna use bulk collect from database table lets say <employees>
while working on database level with collections and records it's working very well for me, but when I try to use that technique on oracle forms it hits me error
error 591 this feature is not supported in client side programmingI know I can use cursors to loop through the records of oracle tables ,
but I'm convenient while using collections and arrays
for example
Set Serveroutput On
Declare
      Type Rec_T Is Record (
       Empid Number ,
       Empname Varchar2(100)
      Type V_R Is Table Of Rec_T Index By Binary_Integer;
      V_Array V_R;
Begin
   Select Employee_Id , First_Name
   Bulk Collect
   Into V_Array
      From Employees;
   For Indx In V_Array.First..V_Array.Last Loop
   Dbms_Output.Put_Line('employees id '||V_Array(Indx).Empid ||'and the name is '||V_Array(Indx).Empname);
   End Loop;
     End;I wanna use this same way on oracle forms , for certain purposes , please guide me how can I use ...
thanks...

For information, you can use and populate a collection within the Forms application without using the BULK COLLECT
Francoisactually I want to work with arrays , index tables ,
like
         record_type (variable , variable2);
         type type_name <record_type> index by binary_integer
        type_variable type_name;
        and in main body of program
        select something
        bulk collect into type_variable
        from any_table;
       loop
            type_variable(indx).variable , type_variable(indx).variable2;
       end loop;
       this is very useful for my logic on which I am working
          like
          type_variable(indx).variable || type_variable(indx-1);
         if it's possible with cursors then how can I use cursor that can fullfill my this logic@Francois
if it's possible then how can i populate without using bulk collect?
thanks
and for others replies: if I can use stored procedures please give me any example..
thanks

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.

How do you extract SQL from Oracle Forms and Reports files?

I am developing an "as is" data model for a government client for a 14 year old system that has three databases, 20 schemas, over 1500 tables, and over 23,000 columns. Needless to say, I do not plan to perform a manual mapping of data to screens and reports.
Most of the system has been developed in Oracle Forms and Reports. I am trying to map the live tables and columns to forms and reports.
The process here has been to save the forms and reports files as .fmb and .rdf files. The client does not have an available copy of Oracle Designer, which I understand could be used to extract the SQL.
Is there a utility somewhere that can parse the .fmb and .rdf files to extract the SQL?
Thanks,
Jim Gearing

Jim,
I don't know of any utility that will do this. You can convert and save each fmb as a fmt so you can view/search the contents , but I don't recommend that approach.
On the other hand, you download a copy of Oracle Designer:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/index.html
It usually is included with Oracle Forms and Reports.
