I need to set the UPPERCASE for all the data entered in the application

Question

I created a trigger to do this but it compiles with errors. I don't know if has to do that I have another trigger that manages the PK and is also a before insert, update. Is as follows:
create or replace trigger "DJUR_REGISTRO_UPPER_TR"
BEFORE
insert or update or delete on "DJUR_REGISTRO"
for each row
begin
DECLARE
BEGIN
:P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE := UPPER(:P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE);
END;
end;
COMPILATION ERRORS:_
Compilation failed, line 4 (11:33:25) The line numbers associated with compilation errors are relative to the first BEGIN statement. This only affects the compilation of database triggers.
PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE'Compilation failed, line 4 (11:33:25) The line numbers associated with compilation errors are relative to the first BEGIN statement. This only affects the compilation of database triggers.
PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE'
Also I tried to do this by setting it in the "Edit Page Item", the source value or expression was as follows:
:P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE := UPPER(:P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE)
and it does'nt work. It displays the default value instead.

Answer 1

You can't use APEX variables in that way in a trigger..
Try this one: (Assuming the p5 variable is the same name for the column in the table)
create or replace trigger "DJUR_REGISTRO_UPPER_TR"
BEFORE
insert or update on "DJUR_REGISTRO"
for each row
begin
DECLARE
BEGIN
:new.NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE := UPPER(V('P5_NOMBRE_RECLAMANTE'));
END;
end;
Better idea is to do this:
set HTML Form Element Attributes of the item to : onblur="this.value=this.value.toUpperCase();"
