List of records in one field

Question

Hi All,
I have a requirement which I am not sure if can be done. To simply the stuff, assume I have a field which gives me the PO number. I have a VO which has some query in the results table based on that PO. Now I need that PO field to be such that if I give PO number 100,200,300.. the results will consider all of these PO numbers.
Say my VO query should be like: select created_by from po-tbl
where po-num in (100,200,300)
Any help will be highly appreciated.

Hi
You can use a List Box Bean for that purpose means for selecting multiple values for a field.You can use below code to create a list box bean programmatically
public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
// Always call first
super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);
// Create the list bean (be sure to give it a name).
OADefaultListBean list =
(OADefaultListBean)createWebBean(pageContext,
OAWebBeanConstants.DEFAULT_LIST_BEAN,
null, "positionsList");
// Specify the view object that you will use to populate the list bean values.
list.setListViewObjectDefinitionName("xx.oracle.apps.fnd.framework.toolbox.poplist.server.PositionsVO");
// Specify the display and internal value attributes in the associated view object.
list.setListValueAttribute("LookupCode");
list.setListDisplayAttribute("Meaning");
// Configure the list box to allow selection of multiple values.
list.setMultiple(true);
// Even though you created the component with an ID, you must explicitly
// make this call to setName().
list.setName("posList");
// In this example, we're adding the list box to a messageComponentLayout region, so we
// get the declaratively defined messageLayout region that will contain this
// component. Note that we declaratively set a prompt for the list box on the
// messageLayout region.
OAMessageLayoutBean listBoxLayout =
(OAMessageLayoutBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("ListBoxLayout");
listBoxLayout.addIndexedChild(list);You can write below code in pfr to retrieve selected values
processFormRequest() method:
OADefaultListBean list =
(OADefaultListBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("positionsList");
String name = list.getName();
String[] selectedValues = pageContext.getParameterValues(name);Hope it helps!!!
