Problem with Apex_application.f01(i),Apex_application.f02(i),

Question

Hi,
I have written Apex_item.check box,apex_item.text in SQL query,so i got check box and text item to each row in a report..
here my requirement is that i should pass text item value which has enable the check box so in Process i have written code like..
FOR i IN 1 .. APEX_Application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
apps.napp_start_ir_pkg.generate_report_data(APEX_Application.g_f01(i)
,APEX_Application.g_f02(i)
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
Here the issue is I have enabled 5 check boxes randomly i.e row 1,5,6,8,9 and entered values in a text item respectively after that i click submit button.so here APEX_Application.g_f02(i) are passing null values to the procedure..
How can i pass text values to procedure?
I have been facing this problem for a 10 days..can you please guide me how to write code in process for passing the text values also..
Thanks in advance...
Regards

I can't imagine how that would work. I can only repeat what I said above in the reply Posted: Nov 11, 2011 3:26 PM Your solution should work, however not in all cases; certainly not without restricting the tabular form (specifically, removing the ability for the user to re-order fields)
You should have values in g_f02 after submit, but you can't access G_f02 using "g_f02(i)"
'i' will be equal to 1,2,3,4,5 and you need (1,5,6,8,9) which are the row numbers of the checked checkboxes.
Absolutely right
To resolve that bit, your code should be
FOR i IN 1 .. APEX_Application.g_f01.COUNT
LOOP
apps.napp_start_ir_pkg.generate_report_data(APEX_Application.g_f01(i)
,APEX_Application.g_f02(Apex_application.g_f01(i))
END LOOP;
COMMIT;Note the G_f02 array access difference using g_f02(Apex_application.g_f01(i)) instead of g_f02(i)
In other words, and in your example,
Apex_application.g_f01(1) = 1
Apex_application.g_f01(2) = 5
Apex_application.g_f01(3) = 6
Apex_application.g_f01(4) = 8
Apex_application.g_f01(5) = 9
This is not entirely correct, specifically it would only be correct if the checkbox field f01 maps onto the relative row number (i.e. the row number in the form itself, rather than the query). The OP does not indicate exactly which value he has mapped to f01 - if he's using the SQL pseudocolumn rownum AND he's allowing the form to be re-ordered, he's going to be in for a nasty shock when rows start being updated randomly (the absolute rownum from the query is retained, thus when you re-order, this value jumps all over the place).
It looks like he's mapped some sort of unique ID field onto f01, which I believe will not work either (because he still has the same problem - namely that the index for the array f02 won't necessarily match that of f01...
Bearing in mind, I'm still using 3.x, there might be an apex-specific row number which retains the relative row number value - typically, I map my checkbox field to a unique ID and use that to make updates, although I've not really implemented many forms that reference multiple page items in the way the OP wishes to.
