Process Success Message not displaying properly

Question

Hello.
I know there are many threads about this problem. But i can't get it right.
I have custom MRU process like:
DECLARE
  p_updcount NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
  FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNT                       
  LOOP
    IF apex_application.g_f08 (i) IS NOT NULL                  
      AND substr(APEX_APPLICATION.g_f20 (i),40) !=
      wwv_flow_item.md5 (apex_application.g_f07 (i),
                apex_application.g_f08 (i),
                      apex_application.g_f09 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f10 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f11 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f12 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f13 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f14 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f15 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f16 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f17 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f18 (i),
                         apex_application.g_f19 (i)
                         )||'"  />' THEN
     UPDATE table
          SET ...
       WHERE id = ...;
      p_updcount := p_updcount + 1;
    END IF;
  END LOOP;
  :P232_UPDATE_NUMBER := p_updcount;
END;
{code}
In the same process, success message looks like:
Number of updated records: &P232_UPDATE_NUMBER. .
Item :P232_UPDATE_NUMBER is text item.
Even if i set default value in item, it doesn't work. Value is shown in item, but not in message.
Message looks like: Number of updated records:  .
Items "Source used" is set to Only when...
If i set it to Always, ..., value doesn't appear in item.
Any idea?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Hi,
If i write code to check for updates after header, it is not necesary true that the user already updated some columns?Or am i wrong?>
The Custom MRU has to be OnSubmit. I was talking about initialization of the Page Item
To set the value of the item in Session State set the value using Before or After Header Computation or Process.E.g. write After Header Computation for P232_UPDATE_NUMBER > Static Assignment > 0
. I am not referring to Custom MRU.As I said earlier, if your CustomMRU process runs you should see a number >= 0 in the message. You will need to initialize only, to say 0, only for situations when the Custom MRU does not run (condition evals to false).
Cheers,
