hi
create a functions something like this.i hope it helps u.
function call_calender ( f_dtm_set in date default sysdate ) return date is
l_dtm  date;
l_list paramlist := get_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
begin
if
  not id_null ( l_list )
then
  destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
  trunc ( f_dtm_set ) != trunc ( sysdate ) --> if you call the calendar function with a date, the calendar will change to that date
then
  l_list := create_parameter_list ( 'CALL_CALENDER' );
  add_parameter ( l_list, 'DTM_SET', text_parameter, to_char ( f_dtm_set, 'dd/mm/yyyy' ) );
end if;
copy ( null, 'global.calender_date' ); --> create a null global
call_form ( 'form_name', no_hide, no_replace, no_query_only, l_list );
if
  not id_null ( l_list )
then
  destroy_parameter_list ( l_list );
end if;
if
  name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ) is not null  --> if the global is not null, give the choosen item back
then
  l_dtm := to_date ( name_in ( 'global.calender_date' ), 'dd/mm/yyyy' );
end if;
erase ( 'global.calender_date' );
return ( l_dtm );
end;sarah
