Procedures in Forms

Hi,
I created a package and a procedure in Forms 10g to do DML operations in the forms window. All DML has to be done only through this package instead of the DML allowed in the Forms application - hence, I've diabled the Insert Allowed, Delete Allowed and Update Allowed options.
I want this package.procedure to be called when the Insert/Delete button in the runtime toolbar is clicked or the user tends to update the fields in the form page.
Kindly let me know, how to access the Oracle provided toolbar and enable this.
Thanks,
Mukunthan L

What you are trying to do is to disable all the automatic processing that Oracle Forms provides. And there is far more going on behind the scene that you are ever aware of.
If you continue down that path, you are in for loads of problems, and eventual failure at the end.
Learn to use Forms they way they are intended first, or you will not succeed.

Batch procedure in Forms 10g, calling rdf and send by mail

Hi all,
I need your advice regarding my task: i have a table with invoices of some clients. I have created a report in Oracle Reports 10g R2, so to have a pdf with all the data from this table.
I have created a form in Forms 10g R2, displaying in a screen one field, where the user can choose the date of invoice. Then i will query by that date all my invoices in that table, and then i want to create a procedure in Forms, so that for every line in that table with the invoice date just chosen i will run HOST(rwrun ... all my parameters).
My questions:
1. I need to read some more about how to create a custom xml so to pass to my rwrun, and depending on the records fetched in my cursors in Forms 10g, i will pass a xml variable to my reports, so i will get the data from Forms 10g in the report created in Oracle Reports 10g. Is there any way that i can grep the errors? I need to create some insertions based on succes on failure, how can i accomplish this?
2. Is the above described scenario way to complicated to loop throuh a cursor, create a pdf, and mail the pdf until the cursor is totally fetched? Do you recommend me a simpler way to accomplish this task?
Thank you so much,
Michael.

Hello,
I have a report with all my clients, with their email addresses in the same report. Each client as unique account number or invoice number.
So i want to burst and distribute each invoice to the corresponding client:
1. I have set REPEAT ON: INVOICE in oracle reports.
2. From Oracle Reports, i click on Distribution list, and in the DESNAME i type email_address (which is the column from the table with the invoices).
3. Then, File >> Distribute. Says: distribution completed succesfully, but nothing happens.
Question:
1. Where am i mistaking?
2. Is there any log activity file that i could see what the application is doing, step by step?
Thank you,
Michael

Different session used when calling stored procedure from form

after commiting data in a form to a table, a stored procedure is called that inserts the data written to the table into several other tables. Some columns in the original table are updated - no commit is issued in the procedure. On returning from the procedure the form is re-queried but the updated columns don't contain the updates. This seems to imply that the stored procedure is running as a different session to the one of the form.
Is this the case? Can we make the form and the stored procedure use the same session so that the data is available in both without having to commit in the procedure?

No. They should be within one session unless you explicitly open a new session.
The reason why you dont see updates of the data block when you requery is probably the changes on the form never go to the back end. I think first you have to make sure data changes go to db table. You can do a commit_form before calling the stored procedure and open up another session (e.g. sqlplus) to check the data in the table changed or not.

as soon as i am able to delete the old one and paste the current one, i will update you and will mark the answer correct accordingly.

Call Stored Procedure from Forms 6i -- Urgent Plz...

Dear All,
I am first writing a stored procedure as:-
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
good_hire
(birthdate_in IN DATE,
reqsal_in IN NUMBER)
RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
too_young BOOLEAN :=
ADD_MONTHS
(SYSDATE, -216) >
birthdate_in;
too_expensive BOOLEAN :=
reqsal_in > fin.dept_bal;
BEGIN
RETURN NOT (too_young
OR too_expensive);
END;
Now in my forms also i have the same function,which i defined in in my program unit i.e., with the same name good_hire,but with different parameters.
If I want to call this stored procedure(good_hire)in my form
I am writing this code in the pre-Insert trigger.
IF good_hire
(:newemp.birthdate,
:newemp.proposed_sal)
THEN
SELECT empseq.NEXTVAL
INTO :newemp.empno
FROM dual;
ELSE
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
Notice that i am sending bind variables from my form to the
stored procedure. Now my question :
1) Can i pass bind variables to the stored procedures from
forms or is there any other way i can access the
stored roceures from forms(Expecting a detailed answer) and
from which triggers can I access the stored procedures(like pre-
Insert here)?
2) If at all I have the same parameters in my program unit
function and with the same name good_hire, I know that the code
in the pre-Insert trigger will call only the function in my
program unit and not the stored procedure, but if I like to
call my stored procedure instead of the local function good_hire
then what should I do?
2)As I said before if i have different parameters, for the
stored procedure good_hire and local function good_hire and If
I call good_hire from my pre-insert trigger .. Is it that the
Forms will decide and call the Local function or stored
procedure depending on the parameter list?
I hope all my points are very clear.
I am expecting the best and detailed answer for my
Queries, I also hope these Quests will clear the doubts of many
members in our esteemed group.
Thnx in Advance...
Regards
siree....

Dear Siree,
Oh!! how many Questions? Each how much big??
Ok First of all the answer to your first question.
You can use the Stored procedures in the same way as the Forms procedures. You can pass bind variables to the stored procedures as well. You can also use the stored procedures in any triggers, I think there are no restrictions for that. The only thing is you should be connected to database while compiling the trigger where you are calling the stored procedure.
Answer to your second question.
You cannot direct Forms (I don't know about version 10g), untill 9i, you cannot tell forms to take the stored procedure and leave the local procedure. It will always take the local procedure, once a procedure is called. If not found locally then only it will go for the Stored procedures.
For your third question.
As I told you b4 forms searches for the procedure being called locally first, if locally present, does not go to the stored procedure. If declared by different paramaters in the stored procedure and it is called, then it will throw error (as it first searches for the name locally and if found will take up the one present locally and since that procedure is with different parameter, will throw up error). It is after all a stupid machine and can't think like us.

Problem with IN OUT parameters whiloe calling procedure from Form 6i

Hi
Could some help please? I have the following scenario.
I am calling a stored procedure from form 6i by pressing a button on the form. Procedure has two IN OUT parameters, and I am passing these two IN OUT parameters and have declared them the way they are declared passed to the procedure. But I get an error when calling that procedure with these IN OUT parameters. the procedure works fine if parameters are IN only. The error says:
PLS:00363: Expression '1' cannot be used as an assigment target.
NO matter I pass some value or leave it blank, I get the same error message persistenetly.
Please help.
Thanks

make sure you are calling your procedure with variables as parameters,
i.e.
      l_v1 := 1 ;
      l_v2 := 'hello world' ;
      your_proc(l_v1, l_v2)
not
      your_proc(1,'hello world')

Calling Procedure in Form Personalization in R12

Hi,
I'm trying to call a procedure in form Personalization (R12).
Tried below versions but getting error, could you suggest ?
='begin
XXHI_DFF_NULL(''' || $KANBAN_CARDS.KANBAN_CARD_NUMBER || ''' );
end'
=========================================================================
='declare
v_field_value VARCHAR2(200) := :KANBAN_CARDS.KANBAN_CARD_NUMBER;

You are missing the curly braces.

Error Handling on procedure based forms

Hi all,
I have seen examples of error handling on table based forms like
the following:
begin
doInsert;
exception
when others then
--redirect to some error page
I have tried the same with a procedure based form by wrapping
the doSubmit procedure, but when the procedure returns an
exception, it doesn't execute my exception handling code.
Any ideas on why this is happening or at least how I can catch
these exceptions with my own exception handler?
Thanks,
Curt

Chetan, Antonio,
I opened a TAR on this issue with Oravle and they got the same
results. Thay suggested a work around of creating an error table
that gets written to and then dispaly and new page to retrieve
the error from the table.
What I ended up doing is creating a dummy procedure that does
nothing (NULL). The form based on the dummy procedure allows me
to get the values I need from the user.
The procedure always returns succesful since it doesn't do
anything. So in the form success code area I call the real
procedure, check the return value, and now I can redirect back
to the orignal form on error, or direct to another paqe on
success.
Not the most elegant solution, but it is working for now.
Curt

Execute store procedure from form

How do I execute a store procedure from FORM
I have a store procedure in the database
all it does insert a value to table test.
in 'WHEN-NEW-INSTANT-TRIGGER' of the form MODLUE I put
test_curor; (name of the store procedure)
The module does have block or any thing it.
There was no syntax errors or form error
but it did not insert into the table.
Why????

I just tested this myself and you are right. If you have one block with no items in it the when-new-form-instance trigger will not be fired. I got a message back saying 'block had no items', though it ran OK. This kinda makes logical sense, since there is nothing for the form to do. I put a button onto the block and the procedure fired no problem. I must admit I have never tried creating a form with no items in it so I haven't seen this behaviour before.
Shucks you live and learn every day!

Sending message from PL/SQL procedure to form

Hello Friends,
How can I send messages from PL/SQL procedure to Form ?
Ultimate target is catching progress of PL/SQL procedure from
form. I heard about DBMS_PIPe but not sure,.
Adi

Hello,
Yeah , I got the solution using DBMS_PIPE function,I
followed following steps.
1. Pipe is created. see below procedure.
create or replace procedure proc_testpipe as
     v_pipe_integer          integer;
     v_pipe_message          integer;
begin
     v_pipe_integer := DBMS_PIPE.Create_Pipe('adipipe');
     dbms_pipe.pack_message('Hello Adinath Kamode,Message
     from Pipe');
     v_pipe_message := dbms_Pipe.Send_message('adipipe');
     end;
end;
2. then I created one Function which will obtain message from
Pipe and
will return value to form.
create or replace function proc_callpipe return varchar2 as
v_msg          integer;
v_rem          integer;
v_message          varchar2(500);
begin
v_msg:=dbms_pipe.receive_message('adipipe');
dbms_pipe.unpack_message(v_message);
dbms_pipe.purge('adipipe');
v_rem := dbms_pipe.remove_pipe('adipipe');
return(v_message);
end;
3. Last I called this function from form.
Cheers .. !
