Please help!!! How to pass values to another form

Hi. I have a form that has several database values and a checkbox item, is_selected, as a non-database item. I want to be able to save the values/records that are checked and be able to pass them to a new form. I know that I'll probably have more than 20 records that consists of many fields. Thanks in advance and I greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
Thanks,
Kristine

Look into the Forms help, chapter "Creating and Passing Parameter Lists".
You have to create a record group, fill the records with your data and pass the record group to the called form.
Another method would be a database package containing a "global" pl/sql table.

  • How to pass value between two forms.

    Hi all,
    how to pass value between two forms(using :parameter),...
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    To use parameters, create a parameterlist with the named parameters
    DECLARE
      pl_id PARAMLIST;
      pl_name VARCHAR2(10) := 'tempdata';
    BEGIN
      pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(pl_name);
      IF not Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
        DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(pl_id);
      END IF;
      pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
      ADD_PARAMETER (pl_id,'MYPARAMETER',TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLOCK.VALUE);      
      CALL_FORM('MYNEWFORM', NO_HIDE, DO_REPLACE, NO_QUERY_ONLY, pl_id);
    END;In the new form you can then just access the parameters via :PARAMETER.MYPARAMETER;
    An alternative is the usage of globals:
    :GLOBAL.MYPARAM:=:BLOCK.VALUE;
    -- call the emp-form
    CALL_FORM('MYNEWFORM', NO_HIDE, DO_REPLACE);and in the new form use:
    DEFAULT_VALUE(NULL, 'GLOBAL.MYPARAM');
    IF :GLOBAL.MYPARAM IS NOT NULL THEN
    ...The advantage of gloabls is that they can also return values back to the calling form, which is not possible using parameters

    FYI - javascript is a client/browser side and it got nothing to do with PL/SQL
    :P17_ST_NUMBER_HOLD := apex_application.g_f03(v_rownum);

  • How to pass values from one form to another.

    Dear all,
    i have a table A i want to double a text item and open another form B. then setting values or adding values in it. i want to close the form and open the form A. the values selected in form B. i want to send to the form A.
    please help me.
    Muhammad Nadeem

    Hi
    To send value to the form A from B, you do this action.
    1. Declare a parameter list:
    pl_id paramlist;
    2. Create the parameter list:
    pl_id := create_parameter_list('ParameterLilst_FormA');
    3. Add all value to the parameter list.
    add_parameter(pl_id, 'variable1', text_parameter, 'valueOfVariable');
    4. Open the form B and you send it the parameter list.
    open_form('B', activate, session, pl_id);
    NOTE: In there form B you might have some parameters having the same name of the variable added to the parameter list:
    e.g.: :parameter.variable1

    Hi,
    You can make use of the call/go api in the success procedure of the form. Here is a sample code.

  • Please help how to pass a JavaBean from servlet to jsp?

    Hi there,
    I have got a dispatch servlet and I want the dispatch servlet to get the data and store it in a JavaBean before dispatching to the appropriate JSP page. However, I don't know how to pass the javabean to the JSP when the servlet forward the request to the JSP. Is ServletContext.setAttribute() the only way to pass the javabean to the JSP page?
    Thank you very much!
    Edmund

    You can use HttpServletRequest.setAttribute(String name, Object javabean) to set the javabean into the HTTP request that you are forwarding to the JSP.
    In the JSP, you can access the Javabean using request.getAttribute(String name) and cast it to the right class.

  • How to Pass values between one webdynpro application to another

    Hi ,
        I know How to Pass Values Between the Application by URL But For My Requirement NO need The Pass in URL Rather Than That Please any one TEll me How to GEt VAlues BEtween the application......
    Thanks
    ANANTH.

    If you dont want to pass values through URL, then you must have to use component Usage with interface node.
    Or you can try like this,
    by appending field value to url,
    Data w_url type string,
    w_value type string.
    get the url of calling aplication
    call method cl_Wd_utilities->construct_wd_url
    exporting application name = name of second application( to which u want to pass parameter )
    importing out_absolute_url = w_url.
    ***Make the value type compatible that has to passed with url.
    w_string = lv_pernr
    ***Now attach the parameter and its value with url that have to passed to 2nd application
    call method cl_http_Server=>append_field_url
    exporting name = 'pernr'
    value = ' w_value'
    changing url = w_url.
    then popup window for 2nd application with above url
    lo_window = lo_window_manager->create_external_application ( url = w_url ).
    lo_window -> open( ).
    ***now in wddoinit of 2nd application
    data lv_param type string
    lv_param = wdr_task=>client_window->get_parameter( ' pernr ').
    Now you can use lv_param in 2nd application.

  • How to pass values of the prompt through Action Link - URL in 11g

    Hi All,
    I am in OBIEE 11g v6.
    Let's say, I have two dashbaord pages P1 and P2.
    P1 page contains
    1. Prompt PR1 - containing a single column EmpName
    2. Report R1
    P2 page contains
    1. Prompt PR2 - containing a single column EmpName (same column as in PR1)
    2. Report R2
    Requirement :
    Let's say a user select a value = David from the EmpName column in prompt PR1. In the Report R1, on one the measure columns 'Sales', I am using an action link - Navigate to URL ( I can't use Navigate to BI Content for some reasons). In the URL, I am giving the URL to page P2. Can I pass the selected value (which is David) to the EmpName column of the Prompt PR2 of Page P2 so that Report R2 is automatically limited by David when I land on that page through the URL?
    Few things to consider are, I can't use EmpName column in my report R1 on page P1, I just want to pass the value of a common column from one prompt on Page1 to another prompt on Page2. Is that possible. Can anybody please help?
    Thanks,
    Ronny

    Hmm can you give a try one more time with
    Add EmpName name and hide it on report R1 on page P1
    and set EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2 and with my earlier steps should work.
    Other option is read this doc once that helps you how to pass value thru url.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21043_01/bi.1111/e16364/apiwebintegrate.htm#z1005224
    You need to have a EmpName as Is Prompted on report R2 on page P2

  • How to pass values at runtime in JDBC - XI - File scenario

    Hi friends,
    In my scenario, data is coming from R/3 and i need to filter records from oracle database based on this data. There are 4 database tables that need to be queried using 2 select statements. The resultset after the execution of query will be mapped to the target flat file structure.
    here are my queries:
    1) Can I avoid BPM as data needs to be collected from the two database calls which involves two sender JDBC adapter instances with only one target structure?
    2) Can I use stored procedure in this scenario? If yes, than how to pass values to stored procedure at runtime via sender JDBC adapter.
    Thanks and regards,
    Nitin aggarwal.

    Hi Nitin,
    "..So i want to know if i can write multiple select statements in the stored procedure.."
    Read the below line that is mentioned in the SAP help documentation fro Sender JDBC adapter:-
    <i>Specify an SQL EXECUTE statement to execute a stored procedure, which contains exactly one SELECT statement.</i>
    I dont think it can be achieved...but there must be some workaround for this. You can probably use a join statement.
    Read this, again from the documentation:-
    <i>The expression must correspond to the SQL variant supported by the relevant JDBC driver. It can also contain table JOINs.</i>

  • How to passing value into Captivate from html?

    How to passing value into Captivate from html?
    Or
    How to communicate between objects in one slides?

    Hi czhao0378 and welcome to the forums!
    Captivate does not natively allow you to communicate your own
    data, either internally or externally. The only way to make this
    happen is to create your own functionality, either via custom-built
    Flash objects or JavaScript code executed in the browser or a
    combination of both.
    The only example I've seen of any "data passing" inside
    Captivate is a custom text input/output solution that was posted on
    the Captivate Developer Exchange:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&loc=en_us&extid=1253 021
    This solution consists of an input box that takes information
    from the user on one slide and a second box that displays that
    information on another slide. The functionality was built in Flash
    and is embedded in Captivate as a Flash "animation". Unfortunately,
    since this is a custom functionality, the information is not
    included in the user completion results Captivate can pass to a
    Learning Management System.
    Since the solution mentioned above relies on a Flash
    Actionscript variable to hold the information that is displayed,
    you can also pass the information from HTML to Captivate using the
    "SetVariable" command in JavaScript. This would at least allow you
    to display your own HTML-based data inside Captivate.
    Beyond that, I'm not aware of any other way to gather and
    pass data in Captivate.

         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
    If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
              backup to restore, then restore as New.
    If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.
