Populate a non List ITEM

I am familiar with the procedure of creating a record group to pupulate a list item. What I have never done and I am wondering how to do it is for when you want to populate a text item for display only. List is not necesary as the data has already been entered.
any ideas?
thanks!
here is the scenario
I have one table with:
education --numeric 1 to 5 possible values
in another table, I have the labels for this
id | label | type
1 elementary 1
2 highschool 1
3 college 1

I believe you need a LOV. You have a display item which would hold the value of a chosen element. The values are, I believe, in a table already. You need to define a RG( based on a query retrieving values from the existent table) and base a LOV on this RG. In the when new item instance invoke the LOV. Assign the value chosen in the LOV to the display item (set the return item to the display item in the Column mapping property of the LOV).
I hope this helps.
Thanks

How to populate List Item from the table in a form builder

I want to know how to populate the List Item (pop up menu and combo box) from a table.
Supposing I have a table Customer(cust_id,cust_name)
and now I want to populate it in such a manner that I can update the data back to the database and also access the list on the form.

This is the method i am using to populate a list.
1- First of all you need to create a non-database list item for customer_name.
2-create this procedure
PROCEDURE populate_list_with_query
--Populates the given list item with the specified query.
(p_list_item in VARCHAR2
,p_query in VARCHAR2)
IS
/* Name the record group after the list item (no
block prefix). */
cst_rg_name constant VARCHAR2(30) :=
GET_ITEM_PROPERTY(p_list_item,item_name);
v_rg_id RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
v_rg_id := FIND_GROUP(cst_rg_name);
IF ID_NULL(v_rg_id) THEN
v_rg_id := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY(cst_rg_name,p_query);
END IF;
IF POPULATE_GROUP(v_rg_id) = 0 THEN
POPULATE_LIST(p_list_item,v_rg_id);
/* Force display of first list element label
in the list item. */
COPY(GET_LIST_ELEMENT_VALUE(p_list_item,1),p_list_item);
END IF;
END populate_list_with_query;
3- Create When-Create-Record on the block level and write this code
BEGIN
POPULATE_LIST_WITH_QUERY('bk1.customer_name',
'SELECT customer_name, to_char(customer_id) FROM customer');
END;
In this example, the customer name is the (visible) list label and the customer ID is the (actual) list value
i hope this will solve your problem ...

How to populate multiple list items dynamically?

Dear members,
I have a form there are 3 list items i want to populate these from a record group by dynamically.
but i can be able to populate only one list item. the others give errors.
frm-41337 cannot populate the list from record group.

Hi again,
Did the popup work ?
For the list item , use the built-in add_list_element in a loop. Example : in the pre-form or when-new-form-instance trigger ,
clear_list('block_name.list_item_name');
for rec in (select column1,column2 from t_table order by 1 desc) loop
ADD_LIST_ELEMENT('block_name.list_item_name', 1, rec.column1, rec.column2);
end loop;
See you

Populate non database items with lov

Let's say that I have one database block with 2 columns ID and NAME.
Only ID it is a not displayed database column, and NAME it is a displayed text item with an lov which retrieve data for both columns.
How can I do, to populate the non database item NAME after querying the block, without using POST-QUERY trigger and select into statement.
Thanks.

Hi Gabriel
How can I do, to populate the non database item NAME after querying the block, without using POST-QUERY trigger and select into statement.u can't do that but with using POST-QUERY trigger and select into statement.
This Trigger fires the action of populating the non-db item block Level after executing query...

Populate HTML LIST ITEM with a query

Hello,
I've a problem,
I'm building a portlet based on an html form.
In this forms there are several list items,
How can I populate an html list item with a dynamic query based on a db table?

I hope you are looking for something like this
declare
v_ret_string varchar2(32767);
begin
v_ret_string := ' <TABLE BORDER="1" bordercolor="#0000FF" bgcolor="#FFFFF0">
               <TR><TD><TABLE BORDER="0" CELLSPACING="3" CELLPADDING="0">
               <BR>
                    <TR><TD ALIGN=middle><SELECT SIZE="1" NAME="emp_list">
                         <OPTION VALUE="">';
For get_emp_list In (Select ENAME,EMPNO
From SCOTT.EMP
          Order by ENAME) Loop
v_ret_string := v_ret_string || '<OPTION VALUE="'||get_emp_list.EMPNO||'">'||get_emp_list.ENAME;
End Loop;
v_ret_string := '</SELECT></TD></TR><TABLE></TABLE>';
End;
which uses PL/SQL code to generate the html page.

Problem with non-database item

I have a 10g rel 2 form that has a post-query trigger that populates a non-database item. The non-database item has a when-validate-item trigger which I only want to fire when the user changes something in that field not at query time because it causes the form status to be changed. How can I either prevent this trigger from firing in query mode or test within the trigger that I'm in query mode so that the logic won't get executed?

Put this at the top of your when-validate trigger:
If :system.mode = 'QUERY' then
return;
End if;I have found that post-query activity often causes ALL when-validate triggers at the item and block level to run. So you may need those three lines in every when-validate trigger.

Searching in non-database items

Hi,
I have a block of which the source is a table.
There are some non-database item in the block.
Actually these fields are from another table.
In the post-query, I populate the non-database items with the table.
My question is : normally I can use 'Enter Query' to seach the records in
the database column. How can I perform seaching with non-database items ?
Thanks
Ivan

In a pre-query trigger alter the where clause of the main block to query the main table based on non-database values...
Use the set_block_property procedure and the 'DEFAULT_WHERE' clause or the 'ONETIME_WHERE' property...
example...
set_block_property('MYBLOCK', ONETIME_WHERE,
'where main_table.id in (
select id from my_non_db_block_table where mycol = :my_non_db_field)');
To accept wild cards you will probably have to change the = to a "like" above..
You will have to build your where clause by adding a "and" condition for each non-db field.

Display SP2010 list items on a non-SP site

I want to display items from a SharePoint list on an internal non-SP site. This would be read-only access, and the other site doesn't use Windows authentication. For security reasons, I would prefer not to allow anonymous access for anything on the
SharePoint site. Can I create a dummy account that has only read access to just the specific list? If so, would that interfere with the standard authentication if the user goes to SP to add a list item? Or can the list be set up as a data source for a script
on the non-SP site?

Hi,
I would suggest you create a new application based out of CSOM or JSOM / REST API and display information in your internal Non-SP Site. Else,you can use Iframe to display information within your internal site, however to get this working you may have
to break inheritance and define permission level for users who need to do CRUD operation and for those accessing the list within internal non sp site readonly access.
If you are ok with custom app model, then I would suggest these links -

Non stock item on pick list

Hi
Only stock items get selected on to the pick slip as per the system behaviour
Is there any way we can set up non stock items to show on the pick list.
One of our customer has few non stock items which they want to show on the pick list at the time when the SO is created. They buy these items at times if a customer requires it and sell with other stock items.
Thank you
Regards
Apsara

Are you using Pick and Pack Manager / Sales Order itself as picklist.
As you would understand, only inventory items are recognized by the system as requiring to be picked. One of the ways could be to add a Text type row and enter the item number there.

Pick List with Non Stock Items

Is there anyway to edit the Pick List so that it displays Non Stock Items?
Our client does not want to track certain Items as Stock and as such they are all created as Non Stock. The Pick List is required to show that stores that the Non Stock Items are included, however they are not displayed.

Hi Kevin,
As the name suggests, the Pick list will only work for Items which are Inventory Items. A non inventory item is not recoganized to have the need to be picked.
Therefore a NON-INVENTORY Item cannot be made to print / be available on the Pick List.

Populate list Item with a recordgroup?

Hi Friend
I want to populate a list Item with a "Recordgroup". Does it possible without using the add_eliment function?
I did it through the Loop to read the item from record group. If the database changes the record does not change in my list item. because the list containing the added items which was delivered in the load time. But like Pressing F9, we can easily see the last changed data of the database.
If possible please send me the detail code to me. Here I delivered the detail procedure which i did for that purpose.

my question is how is the county id value assigned hidden field to be saved to the database.
secondly the reply states populate list(lstitem,grp_county) my question is which field are you populating here - the display value the country name or the county id to be saved in the database.
most of the notes says you have to create a value twice. one for label and one for value, how is this applicable to be above case.
i have a record group -
SELECT site_abbrev,TO_CHAR(site_code)
FROM sgr_site_list with 2 fields x_site not displayed but receives the site code and save to the database, the other x_site_abbrev displayed and receives site_abbrev but not saved to the database. this is the trigger i have written
declare
site_grp recordgroup := find_group('site_grp');
i_list_item item := find_item('control.x_site_abbrev');
status varchar2(80);
begin
status := populate_group(site_grp);
CLEAR_LIST(i_list_item);
POPULATE_LIST(i_list_item,site_grp);
but i get the form error 40176 cannot create list ...
can someone help please, the whole concepr is a bit confusing
thanks

Populate the values to list item based on a check box

How can i populate the values from a field on the form to one list item based on a check box,
the pseudo code is like,
if checkbox = checked then
populate the particular field value to the list item;
checkbox = unchecked;
next_record;
end if;
Thanks

To populate a Tlist item, do the following:
1. Create a TLIST item in the EMP block. and give it a height to accommodate several names.
2. Using the TLIST property pallete:
a. Set the Column Name property to EMPNO
b. Click on the Elements in List property. Delete each List Element and delete each List Item Value. If you don't do this you will get an error when you compile.
3. Create a record group using this query:
select ename, to_char(empno) from emp
4. Create a WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, and place this code inside the trigger:
Declare
err_num number;
Begin
clear_list('YOUR_TLIST');
err_num := populate_group('YOUR_RECORD_GROUP');
If err_num = 0 Then
populate_list('YOUR_TLIST', 'YOUR_RECORD_GROUP');
Else
message('Error populating Tlist');
message('Error populating Tlist');
End If;
End;
5. Compile and run the form. The ENAMEs will appear in the TList, and each ENAME will have a value equal to its EMPNO.
