Multi Record Block Problem

Hi,
I have a multi record block with two fields NAME and DATE. On clicking the Save Button a procedure (PROC_BEFORE_SAVE) is called which loops through this block, and deletes empty records.
PROC_BEFORE_SAVE
LOOP
     IF :TI_NAME IS NULL THEN
          DELETE_RECORD;
     END IF;
     NEXT_RECORD;
     EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE';
END LOOP;
The proc fails and throws error (Oracle Error Unable to Update Records) only for the case that the first few records are null. Sample data given below.
Name  -  Date
NULL  -  NULL
NULL  -  NULL
NULL  -  NULL
AJ  -  10/02/2005
JA  -  12/12/2004
AJV  -  12/12/2002
This happens because it tries to update the NOT NULL field NAME as NULL.
Could somebody please tell me why this is happening? Is there something wrong with the procedure?
I am using Oracle Forms 6.0.8.8.0 in Windows 2000 Professional edition.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anoop

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. But CLEAR_RECORD also doesn't seem to work.

Problem in displaying records in multi record block

Hi all,
I have a problem in displaying records in a multi record block in a form.
I have 1 control block and 1 data block(multi-record block).
Control block has one item CUSTOMER-ID. Data block has many other items related to customer.
when a value is entered in customer-id text item, all the relavant details should be displayed in the data block.
but, the records are overlapping in the same line in the data block, actually they have to be displayed one record per one line.
The code is,
IF :CUST_BLOCK.CUST_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
GO_BLOCK('XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS');
FOR C1 IN C
LOOP
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CUST_ID:=c1.site_use_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CAT_ID:=c1.ipc_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.MFG_ID:=c1.mfg_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID:=c1.inventory_item_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_BASIS:=c1.price_basis;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_FACTOR:=c1.price_factor;
END LOOP;
Please help me out..
Thanks in advance!

Hi Suman
IF :CUST_BLOCK.CUST_ID IS NOT NULL THEN
GO_BLOCK('XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS');
first_record;
FOR C1 IN C
LOOP
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CUST_ID:=c1.site_use_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.CAT_ID:=c1.ipc_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.MFG_ID:=c1.mfg_category_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.INVENTORY_ITEM_ID:=c1.inventory_item_id;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_BASIS:=c1.price_basis;
:XBSI_CONTRACT_PRICE_FACTORS.PRICE_FACTOR:=c1.price_factor;
next_record;
END LOOP;
Try this. you are trying to show all the records in same line. so its overlapping.
Thankyou

How to do it in multi-record block

Hi all,
i have 1 text items in a multi-record block number of record displayed 10
and i have values like 100 , 50, 30 in first 3 records and in 5th record i want to put some value like
20 then i want to calculate all values like 100 + 50 + 30 +20 = 200 and i want to put the total value in a single record block.
but my problem is i cannot able to calculate all the value because for the totale value i have to
write a for loop to loop through the record
but go_block() is not working in post_change .
if any solution is there plz suggest.......

Hi zeeshan
my problem is i cannot able to calculate all the value because for the total value
put the total value in a single record block.
First pls the following...
Guidelines for Working with Calculated Items Calculated items_
1- They are display-only control items.
2-Calculated items cannot be database items.
3.While you can set a calculated item's Enabled, Mouse Navigate, and Keyboard Navigable properties to Yes,
you cannot set the Insert Allowed or Update Allowed properties to Yes
Second Keyword: TOTAL is a reserved oracle key word... pls read the Details...
go_block() is not working in post_change .well u can use timers but no need for it u can reference block item but first u have to accumulate the values per record in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM TRIGGER in the last calculated item which is inserted by the user and assign it to the display item in ur current multi-record block :*block_name.total_item*.. as follow...
:block_name.total_item := :item1 + .... ; Then u create a second display item > no of records property = 1 , named e.g. final_summarized_totals
In order to summarize this total values accumulated in the multi-record display item named e.g. block_name.total_item
Finally using PRE-INSERT , PRE-UPDATE,PRE-DELETE Triggers to assign the value calculated into the display item * block_name.total_item* into the db_item into the previously mentioned Trigger Block-Level Off-course.
:block_name.total_db_tem := :i:block_name.final_summarized_totals ; Hope this helps...

Get next value in a Multi Record Block

Hi,
I've a Multi Record block with 2 items like below.
pos width
1 7
8 5
13 5
18 2
ie pos in next item is sum of pos and width of previous item.I've already implemented this.
The problem is if the user changes width in a particular record,I want to change next records pos automatically.
To achieve this,I wrote a when-new-record -instance-trigger as follws:
if :system.cursor_record=1 then
:pos:=1;
elsif :system.record_status='changed' then
:pos:=:pos+:width;
end if;
but even Though I change column width of block,:system.record_status still remain 'INSERT'.
Pls can u pls tell me how can I acheive this?
Prashanth Deshmukh

You cannot use Record Status like that.
You need to create a procedure that loops through your entire block, keeping track of the pos and width of the prior record to calculate the new pos of each record.
Your procedure would need to do something like this:
Declare
    v_Pos pls_integer := 1;
Begin
Go_block('B1');
First_Record;
Loop
    Exit when :System.record_status='NEW';
    :B1.pos := v_Pos;
    v_Pos := v_Pos + :B1.width;
    Exit when :System.last_record = 'TRUE';
    Next_Record;
End Loop;
First_Record;
End;

How to call a report with a bind variable from a multi-record block

Hi,
I have created a report using the BI Publisher functionality. I did all the integration, created the SQL Query and uploaded the template. Up till here everythings fine!
My SQL Query has 2 bind variables.
I will call my report from a multi record block, at the end of each record an icon is shown which the user can click to open the report.
I created a column link for this item (PRINT_REPORT=Inschrijvingsformulier) but I do not manage to pass the parameters to my report. The parameters I want to pass are 2 columns in this Multi Record block.
I created 2 hidden fields on the page P9_PARAMETER1, P9_PARAMETER2 with the same names as my bind variables and fill this in with the values #PARAMETER1#, #PARAMETER2# from the multi record block.
It seems it does not work as my report stays empty. (also XML file stays empty).
Am I trying the wrong way?
Thanks for any advice,
Kris

hi khadeer,
create one report program and write the required code,and call this function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' and give your smartform name and also when u activate ur smart form u will get one function module call that function module also and specify any tables used...
i think this solves ur problem...
any queries revert back..
pls reward points if helpful,

Check box in a multi record block

I have a multi record block that has a check box. I need to be able to go to the first record on the block, go through each row and check to see if it's selected. I will then get all the rows that were selected and passed it as a parameter in a package.I have already declared a global variable in the package to get all the rows selected.
Can anyone please help.

Hi
This is my solution for your problem. If I understand correctly as you have to post the selected records from form to journal entry (a server operation). What you need to do is in your Oracle Forms multi record block construct a loop which goes from first record to last record of your data block, capture the selected records (wherever the check box is CHECKED ON) into a PL/SQL table structure (PL/SQL table is quite simillar to Oracle Forms RECORD GROUP structure, but more versatile as it can be recognized on the back end too).
Once you populate the PL/SQL table with the selected record, pass the PL/SQL table itself as parameter to your package.
Open the PL/SQL table in your destination code and do further processing with those selected records !!
Hope this will work !!

Check duplicate data entry in multi record block,which is a mandatory field

Dear all,
I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
As for reference I have used a logic,such as
1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
then
2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem is that,if user enter the value in that field,and then goes to next field,enter value to that field and then press 'Enter Query 'icon,the bolth Validate trigger fires.As result first when-validate record fires,which stores that value,and then when-validate-item fires,as a result it shows duplicate record message
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

@Ammad Ahmed
first of all thanks .your logic worked,but still i have some little bit of problem,
now the requirement is a master detail form where both master and detail is multirecord ,where detail cannot have duplicate record,
such as..........
MASTER:--
A code
A1
A2
DETAIL:--
D code
d1
d2 <-valid as for master A1 , detail d1 ,d2 are not duplicate
d2 <--invalid as as for master A1 , detail d2 ,d2 are duplicate
validation rule: A Code –D Code combination is unique. The system will stop users from entering duplicate D Code for a A Code. Appropriate error message will be displayed.*
actually i am facing a typical problem,the same logic i have been applied in detail section ,its working fine when i am inserting new records.problem starts when i query,after query in ' a ' field say 2 records (i.e. which has been earlier saved) has been pasted,now if i insert a new record with the value exactly same with the already present value in the screen(i.e. value populated after query) its not showing duplicate.................could u tell me the reason?and help me out...............its urgent plzzzzzzzzz

Check Duplicate data during data key-in Multi Record Block

This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem here is that suppose if usee gets a message of ('Duplicate Record') and after that without saving the values if user try to query of that block then also when validate item fired where as I am expecting ORACLE default alert message('Do You want to save?'),I want to restrict this When-Validate Item fire during query time..........................while user try to query.
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

Query about multi record block

Abdetu
Please clarify this
I have a multi record group on the canvas, which displays 5 records at a time. The block is based on a table. All the items, except 3 items are displayed items.Now in the block I have a list item, in which I have two values "PO" and "TSF".. If user selects PO, associated text items will get enabled and user will be entering the values .. Same is the case with TSF .. And at the end user selects Ok button to save the record to the database
Now while fetching the records (based on query) ..once the records are fetched, control will be on PO/TSF list box, now the user can either change PO to TSF or TSF to PO ..or he/she may opt not to change also.. If user changes PO to TSF, only that particular record's TSF fields should get enabled .. The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled
In the sense, if control is in the 1st record of multi record block, only those fields should get enabled, once the user navigates to the text item which is the last of that particular record, then 2nd record should get enabled....
Can I know the solution
Regards

Hello Seshu
ur case explanation should be in points 1,2,etc as possible leaving extra lines and spaces in between .. and the case should be more clear and summarized like:
1- I have multi-records data block.
2- I have a static list item with 2 values eg. (a and b).
3- Depending on selecting from the list some items r enabled.etc.
Kindly note that, this will facilitate ur problem to be more readable,recognizable and save time and effort of someone who wants to help u.
Here comes the confusion:
Now while fetching the records (based on query)
The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. >since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled i think with the piece of code i have just posted to u this can't be happened since it disable all the record's PO/TSF.
if this didn't solve ur problem i suggest either u post ur code to help u or u try to put some validations with :
if statment inside the loop depending on the list item's values which will enable or disable related items to the list.
Hope this help u,
If any Questions pls let me know..

Enabling and disabling the button in the multi record block

hi all,
i am using
Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
i have a multi record block each block contains a button(button is to approve the record in terms of changing the status)
i have the items like date,remarks and button
the button should be enabled if the remarks is not null otherwise it should be disabled.
for this in pre-record trigger i have written
if :record is null then
   set_item_property('button',enabled,property_false);
else
      set_item_property('button',enabled,property_false);
end if;what problem is enable and disable is impacting on all the buttons in the block. in other words if first record's remarks is null then all the records button is disabled. if first record's remarks column is not null then all the records of the button column is enabled.
i have to make enable and disable the button for the corresponding record.that means if first record's remarks column is not null then only first records button should be enabled others should be disabled.
Thanks..

You need to set the No. of items displayed to 1 as Ammad had said, additionally you can set the X and Y Position (Just Y will do and having fixed X) of the button depending upon the current record.
can u explain this part alone bit more (setting the position of x and y)You need to calculate the variable Y_POS depending upon the current position of the cursor that is the current record.
You can find the current record Y_POS using combination of
V_CURRENT_RECORD := :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD;
V_TOP_RECORD := GET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('BLOCK_NAME', TOP_RECORD);
V_ITEM_Y_POS := GET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('ITEM_NAME', Y_POS);
-- Also needs to add the Y_POS of the relative other items in the muti-record block
V_HEIGHT := GET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BUTTON_NAME', HEIGHT);
-- Note :- TOP_RECORD Returns the record number of the topmost visible record in the given block.
V_Y_POS := V_ITEM_Y_POS + ((V_CURRENT_RECORD - V_TOP_RECORD) * V_HEIGHT);
-- You will need to add Distance between Items in records if anyThen you can Set the current Y_POS of the button.
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY ('BUTTON_NAME', Y_POS, V_Y_POS);
[/code[
Hope this helps

About populating a non-database item in a multi-records block

Hi, all
I have a problem about populating a non-database item in a
multi-records block. This block is set to database block with a
controlled item which needs to be populated after query. so I
create a post-query trigger, but my problem is when the records
listed in this block are less than 10 ( the record number is set
to 10), the trigger fires no problem. but when the retrieved
records are greater than 10, the error message is 'post query
trigger raised unhandled exception ora 01403'. anyone can help me
fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
Diana

Diana,
When you have an unbound item in a block and want to fetch
some data into it you need to write a post-query trigger.What
you have done is right.But it seems that u are getting a No data
found error.I am sure about how u r populating data into that
field.If u have written a select statement to fetch the data in
post-query trigger, kindly handle an exception and find out the
problem.Having a look at ur code(pos-query) would be much more
helpful for giving a better solution.Try this a let me know.
Thanks
Vinod.

Image item in multi-record block - PLEASE SOMEONE HELP !

Hello everyone.
I have a multi-record block with an image item that is not in teh table, is populated in the post-query trigger with a read_image_item, from a gif file. This block is child of another block. The problem is that the first records of the block, the ones that fit on the screen, are not showing the image properly, the image appears grey, distorted. In reality, the image dont adjust to the size of the item, as it is especified in the properties. When i scroll down, the rest of records show the image perfect, but this ones still are distorted.
Forms is 6.0.8.22.1, over oracle 9i. Thank you all in advance.

Web Form Hangs When Scrolling through Multi-Record Block

Hello!
I have a web-deployed form that uses the Sun Java JVM and utilizes WebUtil.
We are using JDK v1.4.2.
When I open this form using the Java plug-in and try to scroll through a multi-record block ... it will hang at various points and eventually I have to close the form because it won't respond.
This does not happen if I simply access the form through the Microsoft JVM.
Any suggestions?

That's a know solved bug. You must install AS10g patchset 9.0.4.2.
For me it solved the problem.

Is it possible to requery only a single row of a multi record block?

Hi,
I have a data block say "Employees". This is a multi record block.
Requirement: Two users are working on the same form (front end). Now the user1 has made change for EMP1 The same is not reflected in the User2 Session. Hence i need to requery the values updated for EMP1
Issue: Since there lots of employees listed in this block. i do not want all the employees details to be required (Block requery). Instead is it possible to requery only a perticular record to be required?
Thanks,
Vidya

I think not possible........
Usually Approach is the data in grid table displays as read only and when user press EDIT button then they can edit one single record in a separate window.
ooh got one idea.......
may be create a save point and rollback to that particular save point ....... i hv never tried it but try it might solves your problem
there is a feature of Clear_form rollback to save point
PROCEDURE CLEAR_FORM
(commit_mode    NUMBER,
   rollback_mode NUMBER);
Parameters
If the end user has made changes to records in the current form or any called form, and those records have not been posted or committed, Form Builder processes the records, following the directions indicated by the argument supplied for the following parameter:
commit_mode     ASK_COMMIT Form Builder prompts the end user to commit the changes during CLEAR_FORM processing.
DO_COMMIT Form Builder validates the changes, performs a commit, and flushes the current form without prompting the end user.
NO_COMMIT Form Builder validates the changes and flushes the current form without performing a commit or prompting the end user.
NO_VALIDATE Form Builder flushes the current form without validating the changes, committing the changes, or prompting the end user.
rollback_mode     TO_SAVEPOINT Form Builder rolls back all uncommitted changes (including posted changes) to the current form's savepoint.
FULL_ROLLBACK Form Builder rolls back all uncommitted changes (including posted changes) which were made during the current Runform session. You cannot specify a FULL_ROLLBACK from a form that is running in post-only mode. (Post-only mode can occur when your form issues a call to another form while unposted records exist in the calling form. To prevent losing the locks issued by the calling form, Form Builder prevents any commit processing in the called form.) Edited by: BaiG on Apr 12, 2010 3:49 PM
