Next/previous records

Question

Hi,
I am new to Forms 6i and any pointers would be appreciated.
I have set up a form using a master/child relationship. The
master block (mfg_date) has only one field (id). I created
toolbar buttons to step through the master records using the
following code.
(Toolbar Button code for previous record)
GO_BLOCK('mfg_date');
GO_RECORD(TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD)-1);
(Toolbar Button code for next record)
GO_BLOCK('mfg_date');
GO_RECORD(TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD)+1);
These buttons work fine by themselves.
I also created an LOV allowing the user to select any master
record using the following code.
(WHEN BUTTON PRESSED Trigger Code for LOV)
DECLARE
v_choose BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
v_choose := SHOW_LOV('new_mfg_date');
IF NOT v_choose THEN
MESSAGE('You have not selected a value.');
BELL;
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
ELSE
GO_BLOCK('load_sheet');
IF :SYSTEM.BLOCK_STATUS ='CHANGED'
THEN DO_KEY('COMMIT_FORM');
END IF;
GO_BLOCK('mfg_date');
GO_RECORD(TO_NUMBER(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD));
END IF;
END;
This code also works fine by itself.
My problem occurs if I use the LOV and then use the
previous/next record buttons. If I select a record using the LOV
and then use the buttons, the next/previous records displayed
are in relation to what was selected with the buttons, not with
the LOV. For instance: If I use the buttons to step through the
records up to record 5, and then select record 18 with the LOV
and then use the buttons again, the record navigation is in
relation to record 5, not 18.I start through the records with
the next-record button, the next record displayed is 6 instead
of 19. Record 18 also seems to become record 5 at this point.
What I would like is to have the next/previous buttons work in
relation to the record that is displayed. I have also tried
up/down, scroll_up/scroll_down, and next_record/previous record
with the same results. Obviously there is some logic that I’m
not grasping yet. Hopefully someone maybe able to point me in
the right direction.
Thanks
