Modifing a region title

Question

Hello everyone,
I have a problem. I know that what I want is possible, but I don’t get it done.
What is the problem?
I have a master-detail page (like Orders – Order Items). Now I want to put the customers name in the title of the Order Items region. I have used the syntax Order Items &P7_CUSTOMERNAME.
Both the master and detail are reports and are on the same page. The detail, however is a report with a form. Through the form I can insert, update the order items records.
I have also made a process which retrieves the name of the customer, and puts the name in item P7_CUSTOMERNAME.
But all what I get to see is ‘Order Items &P7_CUSTOMERNAME’ in the title. I see this even when I come in this page for the first time (that is when no order is selected yet).
The process I have made is:
DECLARE
l_name customers.name%type;
BEGIN
IF :P7_CUST_ID is not null
THEN
SELECT name
INTO l_name
FROM customers
WHERE id = : P7_CUST_ID;
:P7_CUSTOMERNAME:= ' of customer: '||l_name;
END IF;
END;
I will appreciate any help.
Thank you.
Carlos

Hi Carlos,
Firstly, are you including the . after &P7_CUSTOMERNAME - it must be &P7_CUSTOMERNAME. for this to work.
Secondly, when are you setting the value? It has to be before the region.
