Setting Default values for field using custom.pll

Hi All,
I have an rquirement to set the default values on Meterial Tranasction screen for some condition
I tried it in both ways via Form Personalization and using custom.pll
i m using the following code in custom.pll
form_name      varchar2(30):= name_in('system.current_form');
block_name varchar2(30):= name_in('system.cursor_block');
trx_type           varchar2(30);
subinv                varchar2(30);
begin
if form_name='WIPTXMAT' and block_name ='MTL_TRX_LINE' then
if event_name ='WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD' then
     trx_type:=name_in('WIPTXMAT.TRANSACTION_TYPE');
if trx_type ='WIP Return' THEN
     copy(10,'MTL_TRX_LINE.TRANSACTION_QUANTITY');
          copy(10,'MTL_TRX_LINE.NUMBER_OF_LOTS_ENTERED');
          sinv:=trim(name_in('MTL_TRX_LINE.SUBINVENTORY_CODE'));
          if sinv is null then
               copy(subinv,'MTL_TRX_LINE.SUBINVENTORY_CODE');
               copy(fr_locator,'MTL_TRX_LINE.LOCATOR');
               FND_MESSAGE.SET_STRING(sinv);
               FND_MESSAGE.SHOW;
          end if;
     end if;
end if;
end if;
end event;
Problem is that default values are getting set but not for all rows . if there are 4 records then values are set for only first 2 rows and if there are 2 rows then defaults are set for 1st row only.
Same behaviour happens when i do it via form personalization
i couldn't understand the behaviour of WHILE-VALIDATE-RECORD event..
Please provide some suggestion on it. its really urgent.
Thanks in Advance

How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

Hi all,
I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
Type: string
List of Values: static
Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
(in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
"*Jones*"
after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
{Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
{Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
How can I do this?
Thanks,
Will

1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

QUERY ONLY = YES not working when set in CUSTOM.pll

Hi,
Depending on the responsibility the user is logged on as I have set the element entries form PAYWSMEE to query only = yes within the custom.pll. This seems to work in so far as the elements screen is display-only but when i go into the entry values they are updateable. I have tried setting query only at WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE event and also on WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE but same results.
Would really appreciate any help.

I checked my query with DBMS outputs and then copy that output and ran it as a query in toad and it worked fine.
Has anyone done this before that could help me resolve the problem??
Thanks,
Nazir.

Hello,
I figured out the problem and it works perfectly fine. Basically, it does create a record group but once I move out of the item and come back to the item, it was trying to create a record group with the same name again. So I had add an extra check in my statement:
if id_null('record group')
then only create the group;
Thanks Guys,
Nazir.

Forms Personalization or custom.pll

I need to make the 'One Time' check box default to yes for the supplier window when I login through a custom responsibility One Time Supplier !
either by forms personalization or custom.pll
Can any one advise me ?

Ok.
I’m on EBS 11.5.10.2 R3
I’m not sure if it will work for a different version
1.Open the Suppliers and the Forms Personalization windows.
2. Seq=1, Description: Activate One_Time flag
3.Level = Function
Condition:
Trigger Event = WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE
Trigger Object = VNDR
Condition = :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS = 'NEW'
Actions
Seq=1, Type = Property
Description = One Time
Object Type = Item
Target Object = VNDR.ONE_TIME_FLAG_MIR
Property Name = VALUE
Value= Y
4.In the Context area enter the responsibility you want to be affected by this personalization.
5.Save your work and close all windows. Using the responsibility on 4, open the suppliers window again, go to the Classification tab and see if it is checked.
Hope this helps

How to Handle Automatic Skip Property of Item in Oracle Forms through Custom.pll or from other methods

Hi All,
How to Handle Automatic Skip Property of Item in Oracle Forms through Custom.pll or from other methods.
This is a enhancement requirement.
When ever user enter value in field 1 then automatically cursor should go to next field.

Hello Bobb,
You can create a trigger(when-list-changed) for each list item where you could:
1.recreate the record groups and then use POPULATE_LIST so you can hide the selected values. In forms builder online help there are some good examples about create record groups dynamically.
or
2.you can perform a validation instead of hiding the selected values. If the values is already selected the display a message 'Value already selected....'
Second option is much faster(only an 'if clause')
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex

Loosing focus on exit_form in custom.pll zoom

This forms question involves the use of the CUSTOM.pll in Oracle Applications 11.03 (forms 4.5) to ZOOM from RCVRCERC (Receipts in PO) to INVIDITM (Organization Items). For those not familiar custom.pll is shared across the apps forms and invoked at new_form, new_block, new_item_instance trigger points. It is the only “approved” method for customizing application forms.
I’m NOT a hardcore forms coder. More of an apps admin with some forms experience in my (distant) past.
The zoom is functioning OK (with auto query) and I’m able to open the flexfield structure (another apps specific) via a go_item. I’m trying to reduce key strokes by having the “zoomed to” form exit when the flexfield structure is exited. The end user is only zooming to reference a flexfield value.
To accomplish this I’m using the when_new_item_instance in custom.pll, checking for the item name (e.g. where cursor is positioned after the flexfield structure) and performing an exit_form.
At this point the user is returned to the invoking form RCVRCERC. But, the exited form remains visible. When I mouse to this form and establish focus the exit_form takes effect and the form window closes and I’m returned to the correct form, etc.
I put some debugging messages in the code leading up to the exit_form. I’m using fnd_message.show for this which produces a modal window that requires acknowledgement. With these debugging messages in place the form exits as expected (e.g. form exists after acknowledging the last message). Its almost as if the modal windows are forcing the focus on the form until it actually exits.
Any ideas on how to get the “zoomed to” form to exist cleanly.
Sorry if this isn’t clear. Not an easy thing to explain.
Note: You’ll see this cross posted in a couple places.
Thanks in Advance

Custom code for LOV generation in Custom.pll

FRM-40815: Form Error, using CUSTOM.pll

Hello,
I am trying to customize WIP Lot Transactions Oracle Standard Form using CUSTOM.pll.
Upon navigating to one of the 3 blocks in the form(RESULTING_LOT), I am getting following error message:
"FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.CLRREC_NOVALIDATE does not exist"
This global variable is not used in CUSTOM.pll at all. But is initialized and used in the standard form only.
When custom code is turned off, there is no error message.
Please advise.
Thanks,

Hi,
Thanks for the response.
I have created a custom profile and attached it users and Profile value has the organization names.I want the User A with Org1 value in the profile to see all the GL Batches which is created by any other user who belongs to only Org1. Say another user User B with Org2 as the profile value should not see any GL batches created by any other user in the GL Journal Form belonging to other Org's.I'm able to restrict the batches using the below query using the personalizations in the Record Group for the Batch Name.But if the user doesnt give any search criteria and then selects Find then the main form displays all the batches. Hence I want to overide the Data Block where to display accordingly.
select a.name from gl_je_batches a
where 1=1
and a.created_by in (select b.user_id from
fnd_user b,
fnd_profile_option_values c,
fnd_profile_options d
where c.profile_option_id =d.profile_option_id
AND c.level_value = b.user_id
AND profile_option_name='KAP_USER_ORGANIZATION'
AND c.profile_option_value =(select profile_option_value
from fnd_profile_option_values e
where e.level_value =fnd_profile.value('USER_ID')
and profile_option_id=d.profile_option_id)

Create Local Variable in Custom.pll

Hi,
I want to create and calling local variable in custom.pll. As i know, we can create local variable with personalization form. but i didn't find the way to create local variable in custom.pll.
Is there any way to create local variable in custom.pll and calling that variable ?
Thanks

I think what you want is to create a GLOBAL variable, a LOCAL variable would be available to the Procedure/Function being executed. But to create the local variable, you add it between the Function/Procedure declaration and the begin
PROCEDURE abc(p_input VARCHAR2);
v_count NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
END;
A GLOBAL reaches out past the execution of the proc defined in CUSTOM.pll. You can simply type GLOBAL.<var_name> := <value>.
BEGIN
GLOBAL.xx_count := 0;
END;
Though I like the ability Personalizations give you of using Init Value vs. Value, Init Value will assign a value if the variable does not exist ... and creates it. Value just assigns a value.
Some say you have do a COPY(value, NAME_IN('variable name')) instad of GLOBAL.<variable_name>, I have never had to use this.

Add additional to LOV using CUSTOM.pll

Form: CSIMEDIT
Block: CSI_T_PARTY_ACCOUNTS
Field: BILL_TO_ADDRESS
The LOV ACCOUNT_BILL_TO from the field BILL_TO_ADDRESS only has 2 columns but I need to add 2 more columns. How can I do it in Custom.pll?
The first column is site_use_id, the second column is party_address. Currently, I concatenated the third column 'status' with party_address, the LOV show both information. However, after I picked the address and saved it, I got an error message when I click on the LOV button again due to the party_address query only contains party_address and it is different from the LOV list which is containing the part_address and status. It failed the validation.
I also tried to use another LOV 'SERIAL_NUM' that has 5 columns. Then set property:
lov_id := FIND_LOV('SERIAL_NUM');
rg_id := FIND_GROUP(rg_name);
SET_LOV_PROPERTY(lov_id, group_name, rg_name);
-- set Title --
Set_Lov_Property(lov_id, TITLE, 'Bill To Address' ) ;
-- set column properties --
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,2,TITLE,'Bill To');
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,2,WIDTH,25);
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,3,TITLE,'Status');
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,3,WIDTH,5);
-- hide other columns --
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,1,WIDTH,0);
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,4,WIDTH,0);
set_lov_column_property(lov_id,5,WIDTH,0);
But I got error message: FRM-41826: Cannot replace group;columns don't match LOV.
Please help!
Thanks.
