Popup LOV Error

I have made a popup field. When testing in Applicationsworks fine. But when the form is on a page, I continue to get an error message in the popup box.
Is there a way around this?

Milan,
Which portal version are you using?
Please check if this:

is the case.
Thanks,

Is there a problem using popup LOVs in a portal form with a bind variable?

I have a portal form with 2 LOVs. The second LOV is a dependent LOV whose bind variable can be NULL. I have read Note 263923.1, "How To Create Dependent Lovs In Forms", and my form works as long as I use combo boxes to display the LOVs. I need to use popups so the user can search the LOVs as they are quite lengthy. Plus I want to be able to pick a value from my second LOV without selecting a value from the first LOV -- hence, my bind variable can be null and that is where my problem lies. As long as I select a value from the first LOV, the second LOV popup will work. If I click on the icon to display the second LOV without pre-selected a value from the first LOV, I get the following error:
POPUP LOV ERROR:
LOV: "9A17692880B6B8509F514F5B9CA9EC808DD403218B3CF19A33C04CD1FAB0ADE17ADC33E6B67998A933357CE5264D204E"
Parse Message: Parse as pre-set global: "TORE".
Find Message: LOV is of type DYNAMIC (LOV based on SQL query).
Query: "SELECT ...."
wwv_bind.prepare_bind: ORA-01403: no data found
My form is based on a table with a custom layout. The sql for the second LOV is similar to: SELECT ENAME, EMPNO FROM SCOTT.EMP WHERE (DEPTNO = :DEPT AND :DEPT IS NOT NULL) OR :DEPT IS NULL.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Carol

Don't use EPS any more! It does not support transparency nor color management.
If you save vector files from Illustrator, use AI with PDF compatiblity.
If you save image files from Photoshop, use PSD.
If you save image files combined with vector forms and/or text from Photoshop, use PDP which is a Photoshop PDF.
For vectors from Illustrator use CMYK files.
For images use RGB, conversion to CMYK should never done before PDF export, better, if the printer allows it, is to export a PDF with live transparency as it is PDF/X-4
If the printer requires a PDF with CMYK only export a PDF/X-1a.

Base a popup lov on another popup lov

I created 2 dynamic lovs.
The first one, Lov_project, has the following code:
select project_id, project_name
from ke_projects
The second Lov_budget:
select budget_version_id, budget_vesion_name
from ke_budgets
where project_id = :project
Project_id is a field of ke_budgets and ke_projects
I created a procedure based on a stored procedure:
rocedure KE_TEST(p_project in varchar2,
p_budget in varchar2) is .....
Then I use the field p_project for lov_project and p_budget for lov_budget
Next to the bind variable, I choose lov_project.
I can choose a project but when I click on lov_budget I have the following error:
POPUP LOV ERROR:
LOV: "APP_MATTHIEU.LOV_BUDG"
Parse Message: Parse as pre-set global: "KEV".
Find Message: LOV is of type DYNAMIC (LOV based on SQL query).
Query: "select VERSION_NAME, BUDGET_VERSION_ID from KEV.KE_BUDGET_VERSIONS where project_id = :p_project"
What is the problem?
Thanks

There can be one way of doing this,change your combobox (Driving LOV) to text box and assign a format mask to it.
After applying the format mask to it again change the text box to combobox.
one more thing you have to put fm before applying the format for eg.fm99999999999999999 or fm99999999999999.99
By doing these it should work.

Javascript error on List Manager (Popup LOV)

Hi all,
I have a problem with checkboxes and list managers (based on popup LOV).
I have a form containing several checkboxes and list managers; in a region of the form (the one before the last one) I have 10 checkboxes but just the first one work, the other ones give me this error when I tried to insert a record:
ORA-20001: Errore in DML: p_rowid=21, p_alt_rowid=ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-20001: Valore numerico :1 non valido per la colonna EDUCATION (it's italian, the translation for the last part is "numerical value :1 not valid for the EDUCATION column).
Furthermoe, I have problems with list managers too: when I open the popup for some of them and choose the value from the popup window, I get a Javascript error: "Obejct doesn't support this property or method"; some (just some) of the list managers works.
The strange thing is that if I delete a list manager or a checkbox, another list manager or checkbox starts to work, as if it was a rule about the max total number of list manager/checkboxes.
I want to highlight that the total number of items in the form is less than 100.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help.
Cheers,
Matteo

Hi,
The issue is because Apex actually generates TWO items for each List Manager items and both of these count towards the maximum of 100 items per page. As an example - this is ONE list manager item from my test page:
<fieldset id="P222_LM1" class="listmanager">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<noscript>
JavaScript not supported
</noscript>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<fieldset id="P222_LM1_ADD_fieldset" class="lov">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" id="P222_LM1_ADD_holder" class="lov" summary="">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="lov">
<input type="text" id="P222_LM1_ADD" value="" maxlength="2000" size="27" name="p_v99"/>
</td>
<td>
<a href="javascript:genList0_p_v99_()">
<img width="13" height="13" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/list_gray.gif"/>
</a>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>
</td>
<td>
<input type="button" onclick="appendToList(document.forms[0].p_v99.value.toUpperCase(), document.forms[0].p_v02);document.forms[0].p_v99.value=''" value="Add" name=""/>
<input type="button" onclick="deleteListElement(document.forms[0].p_v02)" value="Remove" name=""/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<select id="P222_LM1_LISTMGRDATA" width="225" multiple="multiple" size="10" prompt="" name="p_v02">
<option>8021
</option>
<option>8001
</option>
</select>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</fieldset>Note that the popup item is p_v99 and the list item is p_v02.
Question to the Apex developers:
Given that the popup item does not really need to be submitted with the page, could this not use a different naming convention?

Popup LOV fails in firefox when using an outer join!!!

I have a popup lov which contains at least 2 outer joins in my query. The popup renders fine in IE but i get the error message:
"Popup List of Values query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different"
when launching the popup from Firefox (1.5.0.2)
Anyone got any idea why this works in IE but fails in Firefox?
Cheers
Duncan

Hello,
Duncan If you'll run your example code on SQL*Plus, you'll see that for department "OPERATIONS" there is no returned value. This could happen with outer join. The problem can be with the way FF is interpreting this non-value. I didn't try it my self, but maybe if you'll use display null value with your LOV, it will solve the problem. Another possible option is to use NVL() on the returned value.
Chris Some of the Apex team members, like Carl, are using FF as their main browser. There are some compatibility issues with the last version of FF, but from that, to your conclusion of Apex only support IE, there's a long road.

Arie.

SELECT LIST versus POPUP LOV

I have a form that currently has several fields defined as SELECT LIST, which works great when the list of items to be selected is small. However, one of the fields is a list of employees, which will be > 300, and I was thinking of using the POPUP LOV option. Mainly because of the Search capability - would like to just list those employees that are entered into the Search to show up in the list.
I have tried the POPUP LOV within a CREATE record form (using Auto Row Processing and Database Columns), and it pops up showing a list of employees (using the same SELECT statement as used when it was a SELECT LIST). So far, so good. When I select an employee, the employees name shows up in the field in grey text. So far, so good. However, I do not get anything helpful when I enter anything into the Search box. I just get a "The page cannot be displayed" in the window. Basically I am unable to search. Bummer.
However, when I look at the record that I just created, I do not see the employees name in the field anymore, I just see the employee's ID. I also get the following error message:
"Error: ORA-00904: "SESTAFFID": invalid identifier performing List of Values query: "select Employee, SEStaffID from ( SELECT ec.ename || ' - ' || s.site_name "Employee", wss.wss_id "SEStaffID" FROM wiser_se_staff wss, vw_emp_contact@WISER_SA ec, vw_site@WISER_SA s WHERE wss.staff_emp_id = ec.empid AND wss.staff_sch_location = s.site_id AND ((:P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID IS NOT NULL AND :P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID = wss.wss_id) OR :P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID IS NULL) ORDER BY ec.ename, s.site_name) wwvlovinlineviewname where SEStaffID = :WWV_LOV_RETURN_KEY_UTIL_1111". "
Dang, I hate it when that happens. I have not been able to find any references to this error that would shed light on how to handle this error.
I followed the recommendation in the HTML DB User's Guide for Popup LOVs (Table 6-7 Available Item Types), to no avail.
The SELECT statement that is being used is:
SELECT ec.ename || ' - ' || s.site_name "Employee",
wss.wss_id "SEStaffID"
FROM wiser_se_staff wss,
vw_emp_contact@WISER_SA ec,
vw_site@WISER_SA s
WHERE wss.staff_emp_id = ec.empid
AND wss.staff_sch_location = s.site_id
AND ((:P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID IS NOT NULL
AND :P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID = wss.wss_id)
OR :P205_REF_RECD_BY_ID IS NULL)
ORDER BY ec.ename, s.site_name
I guess my questions are:
1) Why is APEX choking on the SELECT statement for the UPDATE and not the CREATE?
2) Why doesn't the SEARCH feature work, or probably more correct, what am I missing?
TIA

Scott,
Thank you for looking at this.
You are correct in your assumption - I was using the 'Popup Key LOV (Displays description, returns key value)' Display As option.
I have been able to isolate where the problem is. I reduced the 'List of values definition' to:
SELECT ec.ename || ' - ' || s.site_name "Employee",
wss.wss_id "SEStaffID"
FROM wiser_se_staff wss,
vw_emp_contact@WISER_SA ec,
vw_site@WISER_SA s
WHERE wss.staff_emp_id = ec.empid
AND wss.staff_sch_location = s.site_id
ORDER BY ec.ename, s.site_name
I then received the same error. So, I just changed the alias from "SEStaffID" to "SESID" and it then gave me the following error:
Error: ORA-00904: "EMPLOYEE": invalid identifier performing List of Values query: "select Employee, SESID from ( SELECT ec.ename || ' - ' || s.site_name "Employee", wss.wss_id "SESID" FROM wiser_se_staff wss, vw_emp_contact@WISER_SA ec, vw_site@WISER_SA s WHERE wss.staff_emp_id = ec.empid AND wss.staff_sch_location = s.site_id ORDER BY ec.ename, s.site_name ) wwvlovinlineviewname where SESID = :WWV_LOV_RETURN_KEY_UTIL_1111".
So, I then eliminated the concatenation that was part of the first field so that it was then 'SELECT ec.ename "Employee",' and left the rest of the SQL statement alone. I received the same error message. I then eliminated the "Employee", resulting in 'SELECT ec.ename,' and reran it - the LOV then worked properly, showing a list of employees, and I was able to search the list as expected.
There is something about using the alias on the fields that it just does NOT like.
I just did another test, and it appears it is just when the alias is on the first field that it chokes. I removed the alias from the first field, and left the alias on the second field, and the LOV worked just fine.
TIA,
Tom

How to make Popup LOV Not Editable?

Hello,
I started using a Select List (named LOV) as an element in a report. However, I go the error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
So I switched to a Popup LOV (named LOV) which is working. However the Popup LOV is a list of part numbers that I donot want the user to change. I want him to select from the list I give him and only this list. After the Popup LOV closes the user can modify the text box that the part number the user selected from the Popup LOV appears in. So how do I make the text box next to the Popup LOV icon not editable??
Thanks for the help...

Hello, not sure if you are using "Popup LOV(fetches first rowset)" or not, but switching to "Popup Key LOV(Displays description, returns key value)" might
work for you.

Geoff

Using Union in popup LOV

HI,
I want to select data from 2 tables using Union in Popup LOV ,
please help.
I am getting a error message like
"LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query."
when i use union query
my query is like this
select a from table 1
union
select b from table 2
order by a;

Hi,
Three things -
1) Remove the semi-colon from the end of your query (it can work without it, but you'll eventually run into problems some day by putting a semi-colon on the end, so better to get into the habit of not doing it).
2) You need to provide 2 columns in your query, a display value and a return value (look at the error message you are getting). You are only returning a single column.
3) Wrap your query inside another query to get it to work.
Something like this should work -
select * from (
select 1 as r, 2 as d from dual
union
select 3 as r, 4 as d from dual)
order by dObviously change the values/columns to suit your own purposes.
Hope this helps,
John.

POPUP LOV'S BASED ON SQL QUERY

Help! I am a beginner with APEX and SQL in general, and I need help with an issue I am experiencing. I've created a POPUP LOV with the following SQL statement:
SELECT CLOCK_NUMBER || ' ' ||LAST_NAME||', '||FIRST_NAME D, EMP_ID R
FROM MASTER
The return value should populate the table, but instead it is returning to the report in APEX. If I choose a SELECT LIST based on a named LOV, it works. But unfortunately I cannot use a SELECT LIST, but I must use a POPUP based on a named LOV. Has anyone had these issues with POPUP LOV's? This is driving me crazy, and I'm sure I'm doing something stupid!
Thanks!

I've researched this quite a bit and it seems that this is a huge problem with APEX 3.1. Basically, I've created a tabular form. I have a column based on a LOV. In a tabular form, you DO NOT have the option of creating a PopUP..KEY..LOV, which would work for me, since it writes the return value back to the table. The normal PopUP LOV that you have the option of implementing on a tabular form does not behave like a PopUP..KEY..LOV, but it brings the return value back to the report (which in my case would be an employee_id, which doesn't work), and writes the display value back to the table.
To add insult to injury, a regular SELECT LIST (based on named LOV) would work, however my LOV violates the buffer (which is 32k) and I get this error:
report error:
ORA-20001: Error fetching column value: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I've researched this error and there are about 10 to the 100 posts regarding it, especially when dealing with LOV's and select lists that violate the 32k limit.
Any new fresh advice?
Thanks for your response as well. I appreciate your time and any help you may offer.

Apex 2.2 popup lov doesn't return chosen value

Hey,
I've built a page within one of my applications in apex 2.2 that has an item based on a Popup LOV. I have a pre-built dynamic LOV.
When I run the page the popup icon appears and I can launch the popup. The filters work, and the result set appears. However, if I attempt to click on a value, nothing happens. The window remains opened and no value is returned to the parent window. The browser window shows no sign of javascript errors.
I'm using Theme 11 and the standard popup template.
I've tried this is a different workspace, using the same lov sql etc, and it works ok!
I've tried it elsewhere in a new page within my problematic application, and the problem is replicated there too.
What could be going wrong?
Cheers,
John

Hi,

I feel that , it's like your error.
could you please help me ou.t
Thanks

Possible bug with popup LOVs

Hi,
I have created a Popup LOV (fetches first rowset and filters), the moment I open the popup and try to search for anything by hitting the "Enter Key" I m getting error "The requested URL /pls/otn/wwv_flow_utilities.gen_popup_list was not found on this server."
Also, if I have some value in the popup box and click on the little popup icon, I am getting the same error.
I have created a sample page http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=50942:21
Thanks,
Manish

Manish,
The page you saw, http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=50195:1 is a sort of master/detail/detail report.
There are two hidden items on the page to keep track of the "currrent" customer and order. The links in the customer report and order report simply redirect back to the same page, setting the hidden field to the pk for the selected customer or order.
The Customers and Orders queries are
select decode(customer_id,
             :P1_CUST_ID, 'CURRENT',
             'Select') sel_label,
       customer_id, cust_last_name||', '||cust_first_name cust_name,
       cust_street_address1||'<br>'||Cust_city||', '||
       cust_state||' '||cust_postal_code address
from demo_customers
select decode(order_id,
               :P1_ORDER_ID, 'CURRENT',
               'Select') sel_label,
         order_timestamp, order_total, order_id
    from demo_orders
where customer_id = :P1_CUST_IDYou can see in each of these there is a decode which compares the hidden value to current pk, if it matches it returns CURRENT, otherwise Select, this column is given an alias of SEL_LABEL. This is used as the text for the link and it is also used in the template.
When a new current Customer is selected I have a process that will set the first order as current for that customer, it is
declare
    cursor data_cur is
       select order_id, order_timestamp
         from demo_orders
        where customer_id = :P1_CUST_ID;
begin
    open data_cur;
    fetch data_cur
     into :P1_ORDER_ID, :P1_ORDER_DATE;
    close data_cur;it is conditional on
:P1_CUST_ID is not null and
:P1_ORDER_ID is nullThe template is a copy of the current themes alternating colors template. Most themes have a similar template. The report template can have up to 4 column templates, with or without conditions. The APEX engine will evaluate the conditions and use the first one that is true (or no condition).
The difference in most alternating color templates is the class applied to the td tag, one data one data alt, ie. t12data and t12dataalt.
In my example the first column template is defined as
<td class="t12dataalt"#ALIGNMENT#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>with a PL/SQL based expression of
'#SEL_LABEL#' = 'CURRENT'You can see that it references the SEL_LABEL column and looks for the value of CURRENT
The second column template has no condition and is defined as
<td class="t12data"#ALIGNMENT#>#COLUMN_VALUE#</td>Hope that helps

Disabling Popup LOV (named LOV) cell in my tabular form

Hello.
I have a tabular form.
I have a column where I insert values based on the named list of values. I make the field of "Popup LOV (named LOV)" type. However, ApEx allows the values to be either picked from the popup list or entered manually into the field's text field. I want to prevent the user from being able to manuall enter the values into the field and force the use of the popup LOV.
I know that selecting Popup LOVs for regular items in a region make the text field "disabled" disallowing direct entering of values. However, for tabular forms' fields, this does not seem to be the case.
Is there a style I can add to the attribute to make this happen?
thanks
Boris

Hi Boris,
I'm glad that you are learning things through this forum!
You can't validate tabular form items using the normal Item Level validation - as this is for page item names only (that is, P1_EMPNO for example).
You can do validation using PL/SQL in a Page Level Validation. There are a number of examples on how to do this on this forum. Here's one by Denes: [http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:41]
When you submit a tabular form page, Apex creates collections for each "fnn" set of items. "f01" items are stored in APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01, "f02" items are stored in APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02 and so on. To validate any item, you loop through one collection and check its value or the values in the same position on the other collections.
In Denes's example, he is looping through the "f02" items (that is APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02 from 1 to APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02.COUNT) and checks the values in the "f07" (APEX_APPLICATION.G_F07) and "f08" (APEX_APPLICATION.G_F08) items. The items are stored in their collections in the same order as they appear on the page, the first item in G_F01 is on the same row as the first item in G_F07 and so on. The validation(s) to perform will depend on your requirements.
In the example, Denes is using a "Function Returning Error Text" validation. In these, you either return a string containing the error or NULL (meaning no error has been found).

Catch Lov error

Hi All,
I have couple subtabs within a page, within a subtab, the last required field is a Lov with validation on. If user enter an invalid value then hit tab or freshlight, the lov will automatically popup asking for a valid value. (which is good)
Now, there is a user, he just copy past value to the last field and click next subtab directly. OAF does indicate the field hasing invaild value but no popup. If user click freshlight, OAF will jump to next tab. If user goes back to previous subtab, then popup window pops up.
Base on this case scenarios, I'm thinking is there any way I can catch the Lov error in the first time, then I can force page go back to current subtab and disable next subtab.
Thanks & Regards,
KJ

Sounds interesting.
What's the link url of the next subtab? Do put some debugging messages in your controller code and try to look for some abnormal code flow. If you still don't find anything suspicious, we are ready for a bug :)

Disable/enable popup LOV image anchor in tabular form

Hello all,
I am trying to find the solution how to enable/disable popup LOV's image anchor. When I disable the popup item, then only the text field is disabled but the image is still active and opens the LOV window. I have tried to implement some solutions but without success.
I have created DA (fired after refresh of needed region) with code below which disables the needed field.
$('td[headers="DEPTNO"] input').each(function(i)
            $('td[headers="DEPTNO"] input:text').disabled="disabled";
$($('td[headers="DEPTNO"] input:text')[i]).addClass('apex_disabled');
Could anyone help me with a code which will also disable the image?

Theme 23 does not display popup LOV in tabular form

I created new application using new Theme 23. In tabular form the popup LOV button does not show. While using this theme the column LOV button is soooooo small it is not visible. If I move the cursor on the side of the field eventually I cursor handle will change and I can click and popup LOV will show. When I switch to an older theme (e.g. 21) the LOV button shows just fine.
Does anyone can offer a solution? Can I expect more this type of problems in the new theme 23?

I examined exported application file. Indeed the problem is p_column_id parameter. It should be decimal number for translated application. Characters %2C in p_column_id value stands for comma. It should be dot instead. Parameter value should be p_column_id=30289208519476123679.915121.
