LOV in multirecord block

Hi all,
I have a multi record which has a text item. A LOV is attached to this text item. The LOV fetches values from a table. eg., emp table.
Assume that the emp table has the following values,
smith
jack
allen
james.
Now when i call the LOV in the first record the LOV should display all the 4 names.
And I select the first name ie., smith.
Next time when I call the LOV in the second record, the LOV should display only the remaining 3 names.
In the third record, the LOV should display only 2 names....and so on...
How do I achieve this.
Please give some suggestions.
Thanks & Regards,
Vijay

do you want to shrink your data-set, because you only want to see those employees, which weren't associated ?
If so, then add to your select-statement a where-clause, which selects only those records, which you need. Normally you do this with a subselect
... WHERE EMP_NO NOT IN (SELECT EMP_NO FROM table WHERE ...)
You have to post your data after each record, else the db hasn't the actual data from your form in the database
try it

Disable button when no records in multirecord block.

Hello,
In a tabular multirecord block we have a button that will open another window for the selected row. The problem is that when there are no records in the multirecord-block, the first line is still selected, and the pushbutton is enabled. This will cause an error when the user press the button when there are no records. Adding code to the button will of course take care of the error, but it is still enabled. How do we disable the entire line when there are no records?

how about - directly after querying the master record...
go_block(<block>)
if :blk.key (or :blk.rowid) is null then
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('<buttonname>',enabled, property_false);

Multirecord block on a tab page leaves empty space

Hi,
When I generate a tabpage with a multirecord block from Designer10G there is always a 'big' gap of space on the right side of the multirecord block.
Is there a preference which i overlooked to make this space smaller, because i have changed all possible layout preferences without any result.
regards, richard

You can change stacked canvas margins and block margins to zero, but I still have big space on the right side of the form, this space can hold 3 or 4 character if it is used.

Problem with multirecord block

Hi every one
I have multirecord block in form conten 2 textitem A & B
and i have checkbox .
i need when i check the checkbox set instance item A Enable and item B Disable
and vice versa
the problem is when i check the checkbox all instance of item enable or disable
but i want that instance what I foucs on .

You can't disable/enable an individual instance of a multi-record item.
What you CAN do is use SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY to set INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE. To disable, set up a visual attribute that mimics a disabled field, and set INSERT_ALLOWED and UPDATE_ALLOWED to false. If you don't want them to be able to click or tab the cursor into the field create a pre-text-item trigger on the items that checks the value of the checkbox and raises form_trigger_failure if this field should be disabled.

Showing 10 records at a time in a multirecord block

Hello,
I have a requirement to show 10 records at a time,consider a table in which
there are 100 records which is associated to a multirecord block,in order to have a web look and feel I need to show first 10(1 to 10) record on load,when the user presses the button "Next 10 records", I need to replace the first 10 records with new set of 10 records(11 - 20),
Please note that no of records to be displayed at a time will be 10 and our requirement is avoid scroll bar.
Any suggestions as to how I need to accomplish the task above.
Thanks and Regards
Mohan

You don't need a special button for this because the user can already navigate using the cursor keys and page up/down keys.
For cursor keys use the key-up, key-down, key-nxtrec and key-prvrec triggers.
For page up/down use the key-scrup and key-scrdown triggers.
I suppose the menu option "Query > Fetch Next Set" (key-nxtset) should operate the same as page down.
An example of the key-scrdown trigger is thisdeclare
     numrecs integer := get_block_property('EMP',records_displayed);
     toprec integer := get_block_property('EMP',top_record);
     thisrec integer := :system.trigger_record;
begin
     go_record(toprec + (2 * numrecs) - 1);
     go_record(thisrec + numrecs);
end;This will advance by as many records are in the block and leave the cursor positioned on the same record relative to the top of the block. Eg if there are 10 rows in the block and you're on the first set then the top record will be 1 and you want to make the new top record 11. So you need to call go_record(20), which makes that the bottom record and 11 the top one.
You'll need to work out how the form should behave when the number of records in the block is not exactly divisible by the number of records in the data because forms won't allow blank records to pad out the bottom of the block and records_displayed isn't a settable property at runtime. So if there are 10 rows in the block and 103 rows of data then the penultimate page will show records 91-100 and the last page will show records 94-103. Should scrolling back up show record 91 at the top, or 84?
For the key-down/key-nxtrec trigger you'll probably want something like thisdeclare
     numrecs integer := get_block_property('EMP',records_displayed);
begin
     if :system.last_record != 'TRUE' then
          if mod(:system.cursor_record,numrecs) = 0 then
               -- last record in this set
               go_record(:system.cursor_record + numrecs);
               go_record(:system.cursor_record - (numrecs - 1));
          else
               next_record;
          end if;
     end if;
end;If you're at the bottom of one set it will show the next set and go to the top record, otherwise it will just go to the next record. But again, this breaks down when the number of rows in the block and in the data don't divide up evenly.
I hope this is enough to get you started.

Tooltip for Multirecord Block, Please help

Hi All,
I am using Formbuilder 6.0.5.32.0
I am facing two problems with Tooltips, on a multirecord block.
First of all, the tooltip is displayed only for the topmost
record in the multirecord block.
Secondly i want to change the tooltip of the item,based on the
data displayed .
Here i tried to use "SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY" in When new
record instance trigger.But i am getting an error message "
Unhandled exception ORA 06502"
Can anybody give me a help.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Jiji Nair.

Hi Asbj0rn,
Thanks for the solution. But iam still facing a problem. If i
use a stacked canvas, the maximum width of the stackcanvas is
limited to the maximum width of the widow, to which the canvas
belongs to. But in the case of a tooltip, there is no such
restrictions .
Any suggestions. Thanks
Jiji

Multirecord block & when-button pressed

Forms10g
In a multirecord block there's a button displayed for each row.
Problem is:
Focus doesn't change to the row where button is pressed before executing the "w-b-p" trigger logic and therefore correct context information is not passed !
I've tried to get form to synchronize:
synchronize;
go_record(:system.trigger_record); and also
go_record(:system.cursor_record);
but system variables are not being set before executing "w-b-p trigger" ?
HAs anyone got a workaround for this ?
Thanks
Pete

Set the Mouse Navigate property to TRUE/YES on the button

Some needs in multirecord block

Hi,
I need to do some modifications in a multirecord block and need some help
--i need to loop each record to compare if end date field in the previous record is not greater than the start date field in current record
--i need also for records which already exist, to disable update on the start date field
do you have any idea on how to do that? thank you very much and any help will be appreciated.
Thx

Hi,
and thanks
I did the modification but getting a FRM-40102 Records must be inserted or deleted first,
do you have any idea on the root cause?
Also, how to compare values in previous row with values in current row?
Thanks

Jump to one defined record in multirecord block

Hello.
I have a multirecord block.
ex:
rec, day, text
rec1, day1, text1
rec2, day1, text2
rec3, day2, text1
rec4, day2, text2
rec5, day2, text3
rec6, day3, text1
User can select any record in that block. But when he presses one button, form should first jump to first record of that day, then execute everything else in that trigger.
If the user is in record:
rec5, day2, text3
form should jump to record:
rec3, day2, text1
If the user is in record:
rec2, day1, text2
form should jump to record:
rec1, day1, text1.
And so on.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks.

Another technique ...
Declare
     v_Day Table.Field%Type;
Begin
     v_Day := :Rec.Day;
     Previous_Record;
     Loop
          if :Rec.Day <> v_Day then
               Next_Record;
               Exit;
          else
               Previous_Record;

Validation of item in a multirecord block(Forms 6i,EBS 11.5.10.2)

Hi all,
I developed a form in which some of the blocks are multirecord blocks.One of the multirecord block have 3 items in it.
The user may enter data like this
FROM TO RATE
0 1000 10
1000 2000 9
2000 3000 8.5
My requirement is the FROM field value of the 2nd record should not be less than the TO field value of 1st record. The FROM field value of the 3rd record should not be less than TO field value of the 2nd record and so on...
i.e the form should not allow the user to enter data like this
FROM TO RATE
0 1000 10
900 2000 9
800 3000 8.5
Can anyone suggest me how to do this?
Thanks & Regards

Have a multirecord block with several unbound items, filled by calling just

In oracle forms I have a form with a multi-record block, with several unbound items.
One of these unbound items is a formula based item.
The formula for this item fills the others unbound items.
A procedure with several out parameters is called.
E.g.
:cmr.id (holding the unique id of a database record)
:cmr.unbound_dummy, with formula f_fill_blk_unbound_items(:blk.id)
:cmr.unbound_adres
:cmr.unbound_contactperson
function f_fill_blk_unbound_items(p_id in customers.id%type)
return number
is
l_rc number;
begin
customer_pck.get_adres_and_contactperson
(p_id => p_id --IN
,p_adres => :cmr.unbound_adres --OUT
,p_contactperson => :cmr.unbound_contactperson --OUT
return(0);
end;
QUESTION: how can I do something similar in APEX; have a multirecord block with several unbound items, filled by calling just one procedure with several out parameters ?

Thank you for your reply.
I can write database functions as wrappers, one for each out parameter, and use these in a select.
But:
- having one procedure with several out parameters was done for performance reasons.
- I want to leave my database as is, and just replace the client.
Easy as this is using Oracle developer forms, I cannot find out how to do this in any of the APEX examples/documentation.

Push Button in Multirecord block and Record Number

Hi All,
I have a push button in Multirecord block.
for eg. there are 5 records in that block and cursor is on 1st record. if users pressess the push button on 3rd record (or other than 1st record) i want to get that 3rd record number. i am not able to get this. i checked :system.trigger_record, cursor_record, mouse_record values but it is not working correctly.
what code should i write in when-button-pressed trigger to work it the way i want.
can anybody help.
regds

Yes i got it
Re: multi-record push button
set mouse navigable property to true for push button and you get the :system.trigger_record value.

Enable/disable an item in a multirecord block

hello to all
How is possible Enable/disable an item in a multirecord block?
set_item_property change all instances of an item in a multi-record block
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY only affects the display
thanks

Hi,
You cannot set the Enabled property in a multi-record block, instead you can change the INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED properties. So that the user can't change the value in the item.

Manu.

Selected value in LOV does not update the right item in multirecord block

Hello,
I am working on a form which is a multi-record form => 3 records. Each record has several items. The last item in these records is a LOV button which is part of the lov_item.
Let me draw this situation:
record 1 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
record 2 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
record 3 || item1 || item2 || item3 || lov_item || lov button
This is the problem: my cursor is located on the third record. Right now, I am pressing the lov button on the first record. After selecting a value in the lov, Forms returns this value in the lov_item on the third record. This is not what I want. I would like to see the returned value in the lov_item on the first record.
How can I establish this?
We are using Oracle Designer 2.1 with Oracle Forms 5.0.6.16.0
Best regards,
Ronny

Kevin,
I tried your solution but this seems not workable. The cursor is still located in the record where it was.
I also tried to use a message in the W-B-P trigger:
message('record '||:system.mouse_record); to return the record number. It is always returning 0 as value. No mather what I try.

How to check the previous item value in a multirecord block

Oracle Version:10g
Forms Version:10g
Hi all,
Good morning to all,I have a multi-record block in a form where one of the items values is been selected from LOV.user can only select the value from LOV.
If once user selects the value from LOV and moves to the next record of multi-record and again selects the value from LOV,i should not allow users to select the previous value from the user so that duplication of records is avoided.
and important note is that i should achieve this before saving it into the database because once saved in the database i can compare the values and hide the previous value.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks and Regards

This is a common question in the forum! There are several different solutions. Take a look at the following articles. Both will perform the needed duplicate check.
Forms - Record Group Processing (Duplicate Value Checking...
or
Avoid duplicated records in a block
If neither of these solutions work for you, search the forum for other options.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)
