How to use DFF value in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION Fast formula

Question

Hi All,
I would like to know how can we use DFF values in BG_ABSENCE_DURATION fast formula.
Can we pass them as input values?
Also, when we use them as DATABASE ITEMS how does Fast Formula identifies them.
For example I have created a DFF value HALF_DAY that can take either "YES" nor "NO".
I tried to use that as input value but that didnt work, not sure if it is possible at all or not.
I also tried to use that as Data Base ITEM, as follows:-
IF (ABSENCES_HALF_DAY WAS DEFAULTED ) then
duration = 'FAILED'
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working'
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Avinash
but i am getting following error when i access SSHR
Formula BG_ABSENCE_DURATION: ORA-01403: no data found ORA-01403: no data found Cause: During the PL/SQL execution part, an Oracle error was detected. Action: Please refer to your system administrator.

Thanks Vigneswar  and Avaneesh for your helpful comments,
Actually I want to retrive the DFF value that I pass while applying the Leave Request and not that already stored in the data base. I checked and found that the query you have mentioned is retriving the data from base tables.
select target.ATTRIBUTE6 -- Attrinute6 is database item ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
from    per_absence_attendances                target,+
per_all_assignments_f                  ASSIGN+
WHERE   sysdate BETWEEN ASSIGN.effective_start_date+
AND ASSIGN.effective_end_date+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_id                  = 647--&B2+
AND    ASSIGN.assignment_type                = 'E'+
AND    target.person_id                      = ASSIGN.person_id+
AND    target.absence_attendance_id  =+
*(select max (absence_attendance_id)*
from   per_absence_attendances+
where  person_id   =  ASSIGN.person_id+
and    date_start <=  sysdate+
I have only added folloing lines In my BG_ABSENCE_DURATION FF
DEFAULT FOR ABSENCES_HALF_DAY is 'XX'+
if (1 = 1) then+
duration = 'FAILED'+
invalid_msg = 'DFF not working: '+ABSENCES_HALF_DAY+
But evry time output is *"DFF not working : Yes"* no matter what the value I am passing while applying leave. This value "Yes" is stored in DFF attribute 6 for the test employee and I guess FF is retriving this value from DATABSE not from current transaction.
Could you please help how to retrive run time data.
Thanks,
Avinash
