How to reference layout object in the program unit?

Question

Hi Everyone
I am trying to change the outcome of the result for a field- F_Test_Result1, so i create a format trigger for it, the code is showed at below:
function F_Test_Result1FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if F_TEST_Result1 = '0'     then
     F_Test_Result1 := 'Pass';
end if;
return (TRUE);
end;
but the report builder return error said F_TEST_Result1 is not defined yet. so how do i refer these layout object and data object(from the data model) in trigger?
Thank you
Bryan

Hello,
I suggest to Create a Formula Column in the group containing the column PASS_FAIL_SUMMARY
and use a PL/SQL code like this for the Formula Column :
function CF_1Formula return Char is
begin
if :PASS_FAIL_SUMMARY = '0' then
return ('pass');
else
return('--');
end if;
end;
Then, set this Formula Column as Source for the field in the layout .
