Multi-Line Display Item

I need to populate a multi-line display item in Forms 6i.
The problem that I am having is the actual assignment to the display item.
For example:
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '10';
:DISPLAY_ITEM := '11';
This makes the display item show the value '11' only.
I need '10' on the first line and '11' on the second line, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

well, you can write:
go_block('BL_BLK');
first_record;
:display_item:=10;
next_record;
:display_item:=11;
but for this- 1. block should have one navigable item. 2. display_item should not be the first item of the block.
Otherwise you will need to create a non-databse text_item with width 0 on the canvas for that block.
Hope this helps.

Master/Detail problem: Infinite loop with display items

Hi,
I have a strange problem in Oracle Forms 6.0.5.35.3. I create a master block and a detail block with correct relationship between them.
-> When the detail block contains at least one 'Text Item' everything works well.
-> When the detail block only contains 'Display Items', the form is looping
indefinitely calling ON-POPULATE_DETAILS and QUERY-MASTER-DETAILS...
Is it a known bug ?
Do you know a trick to avoid this behaviour ?
Is it corrected with latest versions of forms, I mean 6i ?
Thanks for answer
Laurent Ricci

I think a block should have at least one navigable item. Just disable the insert/update property, but enable the navigable property for an item in the detail block.
Hope that help

Display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item

Hey, anybody know if there was any java component or a way to display in "Oracle Forms 10g" a BLOB item, which contains no images, but files of type PDF, DOC, TXT ....
Thank you

The Enhanced HTML browser bean allows showing amost everything in its window. See this screen shot
So you could download your stored document onto the AS or the client with the Webutil FILE_TRANSFERT package, or you could envisage top develop
a nice PL/SQL procedure that would send the content via the UTL_HTTP package.

Display Item not showing Text when form is opened in Forms 6i

Hi,
I am using Oracle Forms 6i & I have taken DisplayItem control on a canvas and want to show some text over that e.g., "Your Name". For that I set 'Initial Value' property of that control in Property Palette to "Your Name". But I am not getting any such text message when I run the form nor it is coming at form design time. Can anyone please let me know where I am missing and how to display text in forms using DisplayItem control?
Can you also suggest from where to learn these basic things about Oracle Forms 6i?
Thanks in advance.

bootstrap escribió:
Can I initialize this object using Property Palette? If not why so?
can you please tell how to use go_block & where to call this method?
Yes, just as you did with the initial value property, but you have to "initialize" the record in that block. Navigating in runtime to the block is a way to achieve that, so you have to put the "focus" in the block with built-in GO_BLOCK . For example, in the W-N-F-I trigger.
Another way to put the focus there, as indrabudiantho sugested, is dragging the block to the topmost place in the list of block in design time. Thus, when you enter your form in runtime, the focus will go to the first navigable item in the first block as defined at design time.
About the resource docs, I think there was a "Oracle forms developer guide" bundled in paperback with a quite old version of the product which wasn't too bad. Not the "forms builder reference" , which is more or less the online forms help, but the guide. Also, there must be commercial books about forms & reports.

Forms Developer 4.5 - Bring display item to front at runtime

I have 10 square display items lined 2x5 to represent a rectangle shape on my form. The individual display items represent 10 positions on a pallet. Other display items are then used to represent an item that needs to placed onto a position on a pallet so affectivly your dragging a display item ontop of another display item.
My problem: It lets you drag the item onto it however it will not allow you to drag it back off. Even though it looks like your selecting the top item that is in focus, forms thinks your draggin the square behind it? How can I change the focus of display items at runtime?

Hi, unforunately the company I work for do not upgrade systems it would seem. The system is an old VAX running Oracle 7, the users interface to this is that old version of forms. I have successfully create one drag and drop interface for our users to make changes to the database however this one has different specification and in order for it to work I need to be able to place one display item on top of another. I have worked out how to do this and it works in a fashion however when dragged on top of the other display item it then disappears behind it. I need to bring it to the front at runtime... Any ideas?

Image is not displayed in APEX Form with APEX utility Function

Dear APEX experts,
As i am new to the oracle apex development. I have just created the basic employee information form in which i upload the photograph of the employee. The photograph gets uploaded but it does not display properly. I have already referred the sample database application to display the image. Moreover, i have followed the same steps as it is used to display the product image in that application. Still i am unable to get result. I am getting following output:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=35682&s=101496289174102&p=15&d=10639237623242912156&i=10639236703270912154&p_pk1=21&p_pk2=&p_ck=FCA12832591A1C706D76FDD589E551A2" />
Please help me seniors to solve this issue. How to display the image using this utility.

Hence , in my application the code is not rendered perfectly and syntax is not completed.
following characters are rendered like this.: &lt , &quot , &gt , &amp.
So, is this the reason of not displaying the image???Yes.
To get a Display Item to render as HTML, in the item definition Security section set Escape special characters to No.
For a report column, ensure the Display Text As report column attribute is Standard Report Column rather than the default Display as Text (escape special characters).
Use a Display Image item and declarative BLOB support instead of this clunky manual method.

Displaying items in a single line in ALV grid using ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE.

Hello Guys,
I am having a problem in displaying items in a single line in the ALV Grid using event ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE.
My requirement is to group items on a single line i.e. in the example below, Vendor code and posting date are on the same line. The next line the prints Vendor Name and Document no.
Vendor Code: 123123                               Posting Date : 01.01.2011
Vendor Name: ABCD                                 Document No: 152246598.
Here is my code in subroutine 'ALV_TOP_OF_PAGE',
wa_list_comments-typ = 'S'.
wa_list_comments-key = ''.
wa_list_comments-info = 'Vendor Code'.
APPEND wa_list_comments TO it_list_comments.
wa_list_comments-typ = 'S'.
wa_list_comments-key = ''.
wa_list_comments-info = 'Posting Date'.
APPEND wa_list_comments TO it_list_comments.
The above code prints in the following format i.e one below the other,
Vendor Code: 123123
Posting Date : 01.01.2011.
I also tried using HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE, but it didn't work.
Can anybody please help me out with this.
Regards,
Danish.

Hi Danish,
Your problem is with the alignment and you need some fix positions .
The solution i feel is u can use as below :
In CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
use
i_callback_html_top_of_page       = 'HTML_TOP_OF_PAGE'.
Now on calling routine call use cl_dd_document class :
FORM html_top_of_page USING document TYPE REF TO cl_dd_document .
data : doctable TYPE REF TO cl_dd_table_element,
          col1_t1 TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area,
          col2_t1 TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area,
          col1_t2 TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area,
          col2_t2 TYPE REF TO cl_dd_area.
add quick table with five columns
    CALL METHOD lw_document->add_table
      EXPORTING
        no_of_columns               = 2
        border                      = '0'

        width                       = '100%'
      IMPORTING
        table                       = doctable.
Filling columns in row
    CALL METHOD doctable->add_column
      EXPORTING
        width = '40%'
      IMPORTING
        column = col1_t1.
Filling columns in row
    CALL METHOD doctable->add_column
      EXPORTING
        width = '60%'
      IMPORTING
        column = col2_t1.* Filling columns in row

Dynamically create and remove TEXT items in forms

Hi Guys,
Is there a way to dynamically create and remove TEXT items in form. For example I have the EMP and DEPT table and when
I select the EMP table name from the LOV, rows of the EMP table with column name and data should get displayed on the screen and likewise a similar action for DEPT table and
so on. I have about 90 tables from where data could be required to view and edit. They all have varying number of columns.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks

Displaying item value on basis of pop up lov value

Hi ,
I have created a form on which i have a pop up lov item whose values are getting displayed on basis of a table column.Now my requirement is that when a user select a value(for ex: say an code i.e 123) from pop up lov then on basis of this value an another value pops up which shows the description related to this code.I have this description in another column of same table from which i have displayed pop up lov values.
I tried to implement this by creating a display only item on form and taking source value of this item from sql query returning single value as code is primary key but I am unable to fetch value.I have written the following query:
select model_code from BL_VEHICLE_ENGINE_NAME where catalog_code=:p9_catalog_code
Here p9_catalog_code is the item displaying pop up lov.
when i am specifying a particular value rather than bind value as (select model_code from BL_VEHICLE_ENGINE_NAME where catalog_code=123) then the description corresponding to this value is getting displayed through display only item.
How can i fetch value from pop up lov and utilize that value to display required description.Is displaying description through display only item correct or is there any other way around through which this description could be displayed more effectively.
Thanks
Abhi

Hi Abhi,
Instead of pop up lov you can use cascade lov ie when u have data like say if u select code from ur table 123 and it has more than one description then u can use cascade lov it will query upon the first lov what u required.
Or coming to ur problem
for code pageitem say p1_code u are using pop lov (you can try select list instead of pop up lov )
and for description u r using display column.
and give the source as return single query only
select descp from table where code=:P1code.
Hopes this helps you
Thanks & Regards

Display Item texts in Purchase Order items layout as nested table

Hi Enrico,
I have worked on a similar requirement. I have created the whole fields including the item text in a single internal table
Following was my approach
I have distinguished the Table body content into two subforms which will be wrapped into one main subform ( representing table body say sub_body). Whose property is set to flowed ( With West Text property) and repeat each item
1. Enclose the table columns into subform say sub1, set its propert to flowed with west text property. Alighnment of the columns embaed in Sub1 should be made by adjusting its width and spacing .
2. Enclose the Corresponding item text ( Which will be one of the colums of the internal tabel mapped ) into Sub2.
As far as standard text display is concerned which can be displayed in two ways as explained in one of my earlier posts.

Sorting on non-displayed items - can it be done ?

Hi,
I'm very new to Discoverer (and this forum), so apologies if I'm covering old ground.
I've created a simple discoverer table report and the folder I've based the data on has a number of columns that determine the sort order i.e. called 'activity_type_sort_order', 'activity_sort_order', 'enclosure_order_order' - this is because the related columns activity_type, activity and enclosure are VARCHAR but contain numeric values.
Hence, the existing application displays the data in the correct order in the Forms and Reports without showing the user the underlying columns that are determining the order.
I want to do something similar in Discover i.e. produce a report that displays the columns activity_type, activity, enclosure but sorts the data based on 'hidden' columns activity_type_sort_order, activity_sort_order and enclosure_sort_order.
I tried creating my first Discoverer report and it seems to need the activity_type_sort_order, activity_sort_order and enclosure_sort_order as displayed items in the workbook in order to all the rest of the data to be sorted.
Is there any way I can sort using these fields but not actually display them ?
I've read that I can create an alternate sort in the EUL but I've got 1000's of values.
Can anybody help ?
Many thanks
mknipe

Hi,
You should be able to use the hidden sort option. In the sort tab add the sort columns and then change the sort type to be hidden.

Header and Item table - Form Design Question

Hi All,
I have a header table and Item table. For every record in the header table I have multiple records in the item table. I want to have a adobe form in the following way
1. A new page starts for every record in the header table and Items in the item table for this header record can span multiple pages with the same header information.
2. When all the items are displayed for that particular header record, a new page should start for the next header record.
I created one internal table in the following way
Header_field1 Header_field2 Item_table(with all the items for this header record)
Header_field1 Header_field2 Item_table(with all the items for this header record)
I am not sure how to use a table for this scenario (Should It be a nested table?).
Please provide me some ideas.
Thanks,
Ganesh.

Hi Balasubramani,
I made some changes and have the following now. Can you please let me know how I can achieve page break for every BP_NUMBER.
I have a nested table like the one below.
Main table u2013 Has header and Items information. Every header record has some header information like BP number, name and all line items for that BP in a nested table .
IT_HEADER:
BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS(Items table)
BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS
BP_NUMBER     BP_NAME           IT_ITEMS
To display this information I created the following
Subform1 u2013 overflow u2013bound to $record.IT_HEADER.DATA[*] u2013 (Repeat sub form for
|                                             each data item)
|->Header sub form u2013 Positioned
|     |
|     |-> Text Field u2013 bound to BP_NUMBER
|
|
|->Item sub form -
     |
     |->Item Table u2013 bound to IT_ITEMS
          |
          |->Data u2013 bound to IT_ITEMS.DATA[*] u2013(Repeat row for each data item)
In the output BP number in the first record of IT_HEADER gets displayed and then all the Item records in IT_ITEMS for that BP get displayed. This is repeated all the records in IT_HEADER which is perfectly fine.
Please provide me some suggestions to solve the following issues I am having
1.     I need a page break between records of IT_HEADER. I want the new subform1 for the next header record to start in a new page. I tried conditional break option, on the only field BP number in header sub form. I have two master pages and two body pages. All the above information is in master page 2 and body page 2. I am also not sure what to select in the TO section of the conditional break screen.
2.     When there is an overflow in IT_ITEMS I need the Header sub form to be shown in the next page too.
Thanks,
Ganesh.

Populate multi record display item

Hellou gurus!
I have forms 10g and i need to populate display item in enter query mode. My problem is that I have table T1 with some static values. Table T2 is through ID connected (reference) to table T1 1:1 cardinality and T2 table also have reference to T3 table.
I have block B2 based on table T2 and in this block I have multirecord item for inserting and updating new values for T2, but in this block ii also have no DB, multi record display item (because i don't want to allow editting in T1 table records) for diplaying static values for table T1. I want to display all static values from T1 next to the editable values in T2 (T2 multi record field is not insert yet). I tried for loop, select into but it not work. T1 values need to be selected before I started to inserting values into T2 items, but off course they need to be referenced It is hard to explain but i belive you understand.
Can you help me how I can populate multi record item??

You have to write the code again for your second list item....
group_id RecordGroup;
list_id Item := Find_Item('button.tyear');
list_id1 Item := Find_Item('button.tperiod');
status NUMBER;
rg_name varchar2(40) := 'recgroup';
BEGIN
----------------------------- LIST
clear_list(list_id);
group_id := Find_Group(rg_name);
IF NOT id_null(group_id) then
Delete_Group(group_id);
End if;
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query(rg_name,
'select vm_year, vm_year from fwqgl.vouchermaster
group by vm_year');
status := Populate_Group(rg_name);
Populate_List(list_id, group_id);
/* --------------------SECOND LIST ITEM...BUT REC. GRP NAME CAN BE SAME,better to use another name if you need to retrieve list and store qry..other wise the fol. code is enuf-----------------------*/
clear_list(list_id1);
group_id := Find_Group(rg_name);
IF NOT id_null(group_id) then
Delete_Group(group_id);
End if;
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query(rg_name,
'select vm_period, vm_period from fwqgl.vouchermaster
group by vm_period');
