Personalization Question - calling another form

Hi
I have a question re: personalization.
I have created a special menu option within the 'Define Requisitions and Vacancies' form which will bring up an option in the 'Tools' menu to bring up the 'Define Positions' form.
I have this working well.
However what I really need it to do is pass the current position from the Define Requisitions and Vacancies form into the Position form so that it automatically brings up the position details for that position.
Could anyone let me know how I would do this?
Thanks
Martin

Hi Octavio,
Message: I get an error FRM-92101:There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup. This could happen due to invalid configuration. Please look into the web-server log file for details.
But, I tried Zoom functionality..its works fine.. the prob is, Client want it to call automatically after saving data in the form.

Satya

How to call another form ,if option is entered in a text item object ???

hi ,
I am created an application ,where in i press a button which call another form having a menu .
I select any one of the option from the menu ....i enter a number in the text item object of this form ....depending upon what option i have typed .....i would like to call another form ...
My questions are
1) Which trigger of this text item should be enabled,and what code to i write in this trigger ?
2) Since this form is not having any database insert,delete ,update or query (select)
it should directly go to the new form,whose option i provide in the text item .
Sunny

hey bro, i am assuming that ur text item contains the form name, any relevant trigger can be used for user action, like key-enter, post-change or key-next-item.
to run a form u can use functions call_form or open_form with proper paramters.
if u want to forward the entered text in the item, use global variable for the session.
it doesnt matter if the form contains database items or blocks, all u have to do is run the form.
e.g,
declare
VAR VARCHAR2-------;
begin
/* u can use the variable to concatinate or modify too, also can use global variable
var:=:urblock.uritem;
/* use ur own relevant parameters */
open_form(VAR,ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION);
exception
when---------
end;

You should put this code at the place where you want to appear the called form. that is the child/first form.
if you want to call the form on button click, place the code in when-button-pressed trigger of the respective button in the first form.

Calling another form when current form is in query mode

I have a form that is in query mode. When I select a menu option that calls another form through new_form, I get the error 'FRM-41009: Function key not allowed. Press Ctrl+F1 for list of valid keys.'
I would like trap this error, cancel the query and invoke the new form. I have tried to do this by code similar to this:
if :system.mode = 'enter-query' then
exit_form ;
end if ;
new_form('someform') ;
(since exit_form in query mode is supposed to cancel the query).
But in this case, the trigger ends with the execution of the 'exit_form' statement.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,

I think the following will work:
When you call the EXIT_FORM builtin, Forms cancels out of Query Mode but also stops the current PL/SQ execution - which is annoying.
I believe, though, that the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger will fire on your Form. Therefore, you can:
1) Set a Global Variable or PL/SQL packaged variable just before you call the EXIT_FORM builtin then
2) Test the value of the Global Variable in the WHEN-WINDOW-ACTIVATED trigger and perform the CALL_FORM there.
3) Even better, put the CALL_FORM and associated parameters into a Program Unit on the Form - then you can call it from either the original trigger or the WWA trigger as necessary.
If this does not work, you could resort to:
1) Set a Global Variable just before you call the EXIT_FORM builtin
2) Initiate a TIMER
3) Call the EXIT_FORM builtin
4) In a WHEN-TIMER-EXPIRED trigger, check the value of the Global variable. If it's set, Call the Form you want to call
5) Again, put the actual CALL_FORM in a Program Unit so it can easily be called with the correct parameters from wherever you need to call it.
It's annoying that you need to go to these lengths to perform what seems to be such an easy task!
If anyone knows any better ways of achieving this, please add another reply!

Calling another form in query only mode

Dear all,
Please clarify me which parameters to use while calling another form in query only mode in
fnd_function.execute.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi,
According to standard doc:
When you define a form function in the Form Functions window or call an existing form function using FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE or
APP_NAVIGATE.EXECUTE, you can add the string:
QUERY_ONLY=YES
to the string in the Parameters field or in the arguments string (using the other_params argument). This argument causes the form to be
called in query–only mode. The FND_FUNCTION.EXECUTE procedure (which is also used by the Oracle Application Object Library
Navigator) sets the QUERY_ONLY flag that sets all database blocks to non–insertable, non–updatable, and non–deletable.
Hope it helps.

Form exits when calling another form

I have a form that passes parameters to another form. When creating new records and then calling the other form, it works fine. However, when coming from a post query and then passes parameters to a new form, the form exits upon calling of the other form. What causes this? Thanks for your help. I am using Forms Developer 6.0
Edited by: user6656248 on Apr 14, 2009 8:30 PM

My form is intermittent, when creating new records, sometimes the other form is called and parameters are passed but sometimes nothing happens and there are no errors. But from post query, calling another form and passing parameters exits the calling form and the called form does not show up. This form calls another form and passes some parameters without problems but when I tried to call another one, those scenarios happen. I am confused because the codes on both my When-Button-Pressed trigger are 100% similar. I dont know why this happens on this one and NEVER on the other. I hope you understand my query. Thanks a lot for responding. Please help.
Here is my code:
DECLARE

pl_id      paramlist;
pl_name      varchar2(1000);

Call Another Form using Forms Personalization

Hi All,
I have created a Custom form using TEMPLATE.fmb and created functions in Apps and assigned to Responsibility etc and it all works OK.
Now, I need to call this Custom form from another seeded(PO form) Via Tools -> Menu.
using Forms personalization I can get the Menu Entry and Actions to execute the Form successfully from the PO Form.
BUT, I need it to automatically query records in my CUSTOM form based on my current PO_HEADER_ID value on my PO Form.
How can I do it ?
Do I need to modify my Block and add some parameters and then pass a value via Personalization ?
Please help !
Thanks
Shankar

Call another form with a button click (Oracle 10g)

I have two forms. (One called Main Form and 2nd Called Notification summary)
I want to call Main Form from notification summary. I have a unique column which is both in Main form and notification summary.
I want to pass that unique column from notification summary to main form so that specific detail open in main form.
Please suggest solution.
Edited by: 871590 on Jul 11, 2011 4:29 PM

Starting with a question: why do you need an own (main) form, if you need to call that form in another context, it's fine. If you will use this functionality only once, consider a second canvas (content or stacked, whatever fits better) or a second window within your form (notification).
If its only on value you need to pass use a data parameter or a global variable; the first would be preferable to me.
If there are more values in your column you may use global record group or (preferable to me) some kind of "temporary" table. It may be a global temporary table as provided by the oracle db or you are doing this with a normal permanent table. For the latter you will have slight higher amount of programming for organisational purposes.

Calling another Form (Sol;ved)

Gurus,
I am in one form and when I click a button say "Next", I have to open another Form. The calling form should be closed.
Can you help me with supporting materials to accomplish this?
Also I need to know what are the options available with the Transaction which happened in the calling from before loading the called Form.
Thanks in advance.

Forms Help- calling another forms w/ parameters

Hi- I am new to forms development.
When calling a form, I see samples of code that use the 'execute' procedure, and then pass a few parameters.
I try to open a different form, use this syntax, and I get errors...along the lines of the parameters are wrong.
My question- is there a place in the application where I can find a listing of forms I can call, and what parameter names to use?
Thanks

hi
Definitions : FORM parameters are variables of TYPE char,number, or date that you define
at design time.
Let us assume that I am calling form in this script.
** Example:   Calls a form, passing a parameter list if the
**            parameter list exists.
   Here it passes the city_name and City_date;
DECLARE
pl_id       ParamList;
city_name VARCHAR2(30) := 'BANGALORE'; // You can assign dyanamically;
city_date DATE := SYSDATE;
BEGIN
** Try to lookup the 'TEMPDATA' parameter list
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tempdata');
IF NOT ID_NULL(pl_id) THEN
      Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END IF;
pl_id := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('tempdata');
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'p_city',TEXT_PARAMETER,city);
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id,'p_city_date',TEXT_PARAMETER,TO_CHAR(city_date));
/* Please note that here you can pass only Text i.e., CHAR parameters, that
     means if it is other than CHAR you have to convert into CHAR function */
CALL_FORM('XYZ_FORM', No_HIDE, NO_REPLACE, NO_QUERY_ONLY,pl_id);
END IF;
In the above program I am calling XYZ_FORM by passing parameter list of "TEMPDATA"
which contains 2 parameters
    1. P_City
    2. P_city_date
When you are receiving these parameters in the XYZ_FORM.
You MUST HAVE these PARAMETERS in the XYZ_FORM.
You can declare like this
1. In XYZ_FORM, Click on PARAMETERS.
2. Go to the property sheet of PARAMETER1
    Change the following things
    i) Name = P_CITY   /* It must be the same name that what you are passing */
    ii) Data Type = CHAR
    iii) Maximum Length = 30 //sample
    iv) Close the parameter sheet.
/* Now you have created for one parameter */
3. Similarly Create one more parameter for P_City_date by clicking "new".
    i) Name = P_CITY_DATE   /* It must be the same name that what you are passing */
    ii) Data Type = DATE
    iii) Close the parameter sheet.
-- Similarly you can have no. of parameters.
To access the values of the above parameters in the XYZ_FORM
append with :PARAMETER.
That is
You can access P_City in Xyz_form by   :PARAMETER.P_CITY
Similarly for P_City_Date is :PARAMETER.P_CITY_DATE.
I hope this is more than sufficient and it is acceptable to yousarah

To Call Another Form and Save Related MAster Data from a Transaction Form

Hi
Our project requires that forms for creating masters be called whenever the value (Key Value) being referenced in other forms are not found. For doing this I had used the When-Validate-Item Trigger and checked for the key value in the master tables and if not present, I use the Call_Form method to call the master form and create the key value and then come back to the Form in which I was working to continue processing the rest of the data.
It works well if the CAlling forms is in INSERT MODE but Not in UPDATE MODE ( returns a message A Calling Form has unapplied Changes, Cannot Save data (Error: FRM-40403)).
This same feature I tried to work it out around with a Key-Next-Item Trigger, it works fine for both the cases but as long as the user tabs out of the field from keyboard controls like the Enter Key or the Tab Key. But in case he wishes to click on the next field or some other button with a mouse OR he uses a keyboard shortcut to do some other operation viz. F10 for saving data, the trigger is not fired and that returns a ORACLE error (in case a database Integration issue arises) OR saves an invalid data.
I would like to know what kind of triggers could we write to exactly call a master form to save a new key value irrespective of whether the calling form is working in INSERT mode or QUERY Mode.
One way to do it is to use EXIT_FORM(DO_COMMIT, NO_ROLLBACK). But if the Primary/Calling form is closed without a Commit, then the related Master DAta is also Not Saved.
Please Let me know if we can save the master data whatever be the state of the CAlling Form permanently.
Thanks and Regards

You are going to need to POST in the Called Form rather than committing (and make sure that you do not rollback when you exit).
The Post will insert the master record into the DB but it will not be committed until you issue the commit in the Calling Form.

Call another form

I have only takin classes with JSP, and I am trying to develop a windows application. (first off, am I in the right forum?)
Question:
Lets say I have a pane, with everything I need in that pane. I now want to make my admin button close the current jFrame thats open and open the admin jFrame. How do I call it?
Thanks for any help! I know its a simply question, but I just can't seem to get it.

no, you're in JavaHelp, which ironically isn't where you get help, it's about writing help software systems
you need to go to a GUI forum for windows, buttons, and user interface stuff
but the short answer to your question is you call dispose() or hide() to close a window and show() to make it appear
