Multiple-record form

HI Everybody,
Could anyone be so kind to assist me in the following problem? I have built a master-detail form with several records displayed. Screen items are Read/Write, Read-only and text for domains in popup-lists (these will be populated at the beginning using a record group query). Now, when I have executed a query and there are some records fetched, I can click in any record below, thereby leaving empty records in between. This should not be allowed, because Forms--allegedly--always lets you have a single last record empty (for input), but only one!
Thank you in advance, kind regards from
Miklos HERBOLY

Raj,
The multi-record forms on tables currently are not supported by Portal. However, there is a creative workaround of using MD forms with one hidden field has been described in this topic:

Opening multiple-record form in query mode

Hi,
I have two problems:
1. I have a portlet form based on a table that I would like to open in query mode. I've tried this code:
- in the "..before displaying the form" block :
WWV_MASTER_GENSYS_4 (
p_block_name => p_block_name ,
p_object_name => p_object_name,
p_instance => p_instance ,
p_event_type => p_event_type ,
p_user_args => p_user_args ,
p_session => p_session );
It brings back the first record successfully. But when I press the 'next' button, I get this error 'An unexpected error occurred:ORA-06502:PL/SQL:numeric or value error:NULL index table key value (WWV-16016)
2. I would like to display this form as a multiple records form. But it will only display one record at a time. Has anyone been able to do this?
I would appreciate any assistance in advance.

Multiple-Record Forms

I'd like to populating and flow data into a form to be edited and returned. I've got the data connection (OLE), the field binding, and the repeating subform, but I've not no data -- none of the fields are populated. The subform repeats only because I set the minimum count to more than 1 for the sake of testing.
Any help would be appreciated, and thanks in advance!

Hi Vansul,
for example, let us use the field name last_name on the employees table
and we have text_item named text_last_name that has been displayed 4 times.
and i will put 4 names on it.
last name
brown
marco
lester
king
when i click the submit button, it will only get the last_name king.
now the question is how can i insert them all in my table?
my PL/SQL in my submit button is
begin
insert into employees
+(last_name)+
values(:blk_emp.text_last_name);
standard.commit;
end;
any help? I really need to solve this one.

Forms pulling Multiple Records from an XML Schema and XML data files - Adobe LiveCycle Designer

I built a form in Adobe LiveCycle with an xml schema and data file. The problem is with how the form renders the xml data file.
I have a statement element that consists of about 6 fields (statementID, statementName, statementAddress, statementCountry, statementZip, statementDate, etc) of data in the schema that allows for multiple iterations - so one xml data file can contain multiple statements. These fields allow for null values.
But here's the problem: When any of the statements - say statement 2 of 6 - has a null value in one of the fields, if the xml data file doesn't have a placeholder
(example of placeholder: <statementName type="String"/> )in the xml for that field, my form pulls the field value from the NEXT statement.
This corrupts all the rest of the statement records, as this field is shifted up for all the rest.
I know that in the past I haven't needed a placeholder when a field was null. But I'm wondering if when the data allows for multiple records the xml data file needs to generate the placeholder. And where is the problem? In the Schema? The xml data file? My form? And the 64-thousand-dollar question: How to fix it?

If your <statement> element is the one that repeats, it should be bound to a subform with the binding string of something like $.statement[*]. Then in that subform should be your fields and they should have bindings of $.statementID, $.statementName, $.statementAddress, etc.

Display multiple records in forms 6i

hi every body
will anybody plz tell me how to display multiple records in tabular view of forms 6i.for example say i have a field in a block of a form.and i have to display multiple records in another block in the same form depending upon the value of the mentioned field in the above block.
will anybody help me??

Why are you manually populating your data block when Oracle Forms will do this for you? Oracle Forms is tightly integrated with the Oracle Database. You should just base your Forms data block on the ISSUED table. Then you can filter the records displayed by setting the WHERE Clause property to ID = :BLOCK1.ID or you can dynamically set it with code using the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME',DEFAULT_WHERE,'ID = :BLOCK.ID') built-in.
Then, the only code you would need in your Button's When-Button-Pressed trigger would be:
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK2');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;This is the point of InoL's reply. When a Form is based on a table, you can use the "Enter Query" and "Execute Query" built-in features to query and display records.
Sounds like you might be new to Oracle Forms development. If that is the case, you might want to go through a few Forms Tutorials to learn what Forms can do for you. ;) Just search the internet for "Oracle Forms Tutorials" and you will find many!

Single Form Erroneously Creating Multiple Records

I've created a form that uses several pages, with different fields of the form on each page. The pages branch from one to the next depending on the choices made by the user, mostly using a regular select list or a radiogroup with submit. The problem I'm having is that some fields are being populated in one record on one page, and then the information entered by the user on the next page, for another column, creates a new record, so that every time a user would be finished making a complete entry into the form, multiple records have been created, with null fields in each from where those fields were populated, but in a different record. How can I make sure that only one record is created by the user each time they use this form?

Basically the way the page is designed is that there are only three main pages the user will see. 1) The login page then 2) The main menu page, and then 3) The page where they input the information that should populate the remainder of the fields in that record in the table.
The login page simply allows the user to access the menu page, and submits no data. The main menu page consists of 5 fields. Three of them are text fields, the fourth is a date field with a date picker. The fifth field is a radiogroup with submit that has 5 options which branch to 5 respective pages. Upon selecting an option from the radiogroup, these fields submit their data to the table and redirect the user to whichever page was designated by their choice.
This brings up the third page. Most of these other 5 pages consist simply of 4 fields; two required select lists, one required textarea field, and one nonrequired textarea field. Anyway, the problem occurs because instead of populating the remaining fields in the same record, each page with information to submit creates a new record.
I realize that the preceding may not be any additional relevant info., but I thought that if anything, there may be a better way to do that anyway. I thought that maybe editing the "Process" in the Page Definition could be where I need to change something, but I'm not sure how.
Right now my "Process Point" is set as "On Submit - After Computations and Validations," and my "Run Process" is set as the default "Once Per Page Visit." These settings are the same on every page on which I have fields that submit data; however, one difference I noticed is in the process editing interface for the initial menu page, the "Name" says "Insert row into USER_INPUT (table name) with a "Type" of "PL/SQL Anonymous Block", whereas all the other pages processes are named "Process row of USER_INPUT" with a type of "Automatic Row Processing (DML)." Am I even close to where I need to be looking to find the solution to this problem? Sorry for the novel I just wrote, but if there's any additional info. I can provide, just let me know.

How to create Form based on a table to display multiple record

Hello All,
Would somebody please tell me how to create a Form based on a single table ,
to view and insert multi record based on a single table.In other words I would like
to have a form as shown below ,where the users can Insert,update,delete,query and so on
Item Id PArt Number List Price
100 Item-1 $120.oo
200 Item-2 $150.00
300 Item-3 $50.00
I know I can do it as Single Record block using Tabular Format,but multiple record ?????
Thanks in Anticipation
Babu

Try this method,
1. Creat a Master Detail Form (Custom Layout and not tabular)
and in the master block select one field.
2. In the HTML layout for master remove the reference for
that field(so that nothing will appear in the master block
of the form).
3. Before the update (in the Pl/SQL event handler select the 'Save' event and write the following code to avoid updating master block).
p_session.set_value(p_block_name => 'MASTER_BLOCK',
p_attribute_name => 'MASTER_ACTION',
p_value => 'None');
doSave;
For eg, let's say
Master is from 'Dept' table and Detail is from 'Emp' table(with join condition Dept.dept_id = Emp.dept_id). In the master remove everything except dept_id field and in the HTML layout for master remove the reference of the dept_id field(you cannot remove this field physically from the master layout). Now the form will look like multirow form rather than master detail form but only problem with this workaround is 'Detail Action' will be present in the detail block.
I hope this will help you.
Thanks

Rgds,
Rashad

Create a button say lable "delete" in a block other than the block from where u want to delete records.
suppose the block's name is emp_blk
now create a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESS trigger for delete button and write the following code
begin
go_block('emp_blk');
first_record;
loop
if :emp_blk.d ='X' then
delete_record;
end if;
if :system.last_record='TRUE' then
exit;
end if;
next_record;
end loop;
end;
filnally commit on save.

Updating status of multiple records after saving the form

Hi all
I have a tabular form
It has a column status (new,good ,very good ,excellent are the list options)
The user goes and modifies a number of records on the detail block and saves the records
what i want to do is that when the user clicks the save button after updating any number of records
the status field should be updated with the value (new)
the status field of those records should be updated with the new value which the user has modified not all the records
Please let me know how to go about it
thanks

Hi
actually my earlier post was incorrect
i have edited my post
Actually
i want to update only those records that the user has modified
eg
col1 col2 status
1 ABC good
2 PQR good
3 xyz good
4 lmn excellent
5 abcz excellent
is the table before the user modifies
the user goes and modifies multiple records as following
col1 col2 status
1 aaa good
2 PQR good
3 xxx good
4 sss excellent
5 abcz excellent
and the user saves the form
now i want the following output
col1 col2 status
1 aaa new
2 PQR good
3 xxx new
4 sss new
5 abcz excellent
only the modified record's status should be updated
sorry for the earlier lapse

Allow multiple records from this table to be displayed in the form is greyed out.

I'm trying to add a second table to my main data source in an InfoPath 2010 form (database template), but the option to allow multiple records from this table to be displayed in the form is greyed out and I can't select it.
Can someone please tell me how to correct this? I'm guessing that there might have to be something change in MS SQL because on other occasions I've have not encountered this problem when adding a second table.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

So I've found a work around, but I still don't know why I'm having the problem in the first place.
I've been trying to relate the two tables by using the primary key in the parent table to a view of the child table that also includes primary key in the parent, e.g. the ORDER ID in the order table relating to the ORDER ID in the view of the order detail
table. For whatever reason whenever I did that InfoPath prohibited the data source from returning multiple order details.
My work around is to use views of both the order table and order details table that include the customer ID and to relate the two table in InfoPath using the customer ID. Now I get a data source that allows multiple order detail records. In order to get
just the order details that I want that relate to a particular order, I use a rule that sets the order id in both the order and order details query data sets before executing the query (as opposed to just the order data set).
Hope that's a clear explanation.

How to build forms which retrieve multiple records

Hi everyone,
I am newbie to APEX.I have a question in FORM building in APEX.In oracle FORMS(6i) has the capability to search with any fileld on it . there is
an option to search
data with the id or department or name field.If it retrieves more than one record there
is navigation controls to move from one record to another.
Can we build same kind of FORMS in APEX .I didnt find any wizard to build such kind of
FORM which has both inserting and querying capability.
I found one option for that in apex (FROM with report).In the report section i can query
for the records and link to FORM which populates all the data in the FORM. Is that the
only option do we have in APEX to build the forms which gives multiple records as
output.
anyone plz help me in solving this
thank u

can anyone please help me in solving this issue,
Is it possible to build such kind of forms with retrieves multiple records in APEX.
Thanks

Problem Multiple record navigation in oracle forms

I retrieve multiple records using cursor fetch command in the select query i have given condition to retrieve details of employee no.
For example if we are giving an input as empno:100 then it retrieves two records of same emp no(100).It displays 2/3 records in the task bar when i navigate using push buttons it displays an empty record in the interface provided.(ie 3/3 records).How to avoid third unknown record displaying in the interface.

most likely the problem is during the population of the block using the query.
i assume that you are creating one additional record after the last record from your query..
so this must be either with the CREATE_RECORD or NEXT_RECORD problem in the loop.so you should check in the loop first if the record exists, then do CREATE_RECORD or NEXT_RECORD.

HCM Processes and Forms - Create multiple records of one infotype (eg 0008)

Dear all,
I'm trying to create two new records in infotype 0008 (basic pay). Regarding it's time constraint 1 it should like the following:
Before
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 2000u20AC
After
01.01.2010 - 08.11.2010 - 2000u20AC
09.11.2010 - 31.12.2010 - 2500u20AC
01.01.2010 - 31.12.9999 - 3000u20AC
So I want to add two splits two the record. One is easy, as it's done by the SAP_PA operation. I experimented with the record indices and duplicating my fields, but it didn't work. Another idea would be to retriggerd the SAP_PA several times using scenario steps.
Can you give me a hint, by which lever multiplee splits can be achieved? Or is this not possible at all?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

Thanks for your fast reply.
Knowing this as a fallback is comforting. I just want to ensure, that I don't apply any coding, if a task is also possible by customizing.
Another idea I had in the meantime was to execute the SAP_PA several times. Do you have any experience, if this works to create multiple records in one infotype?
