Query about multi record block

Abdetu
Please clarify this
I have a multi record group on the canvas, which displays 5 records at a time. The block is based on a table. All the items, except 3 items are displayed items.Now in the block I have a list item, in which I have two values "PO" and "TSF".. If user selects PO, associated text items will get enabled and user will be entering the values .. Same is the case with TSF .. And at the end user selects Ok button to save the record to the database
Now while fetching the records (based on query) ..once the records are fetched, control will be on PO/TSF list box, now the user can either change PO to TSF or TSF to PO ..or he/she may opt not to change also.. If user changes PO to TSF, only that particular record's TSF fields should get enabled .. The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled
In the sense, if control is in the 1st record of multi record block, only those fields should get enabled, once the user navigates to the text item which is the last of that particular record, then 2nd record should get enabled....
Can I know the solution
Regards

Hello Seshu
ur case explanation should be in points 1,2,etc as possible leaving extra lines and spaces in between .. and the case should be more clear and summarized like:
1- I have multi-records data block.
2- I have a static list item with 2 values eg. (a and b).
3- Depending on selecting from the list some items r enabled.etc.
Kindly note that, this will facilitate ur problem to be more readable,recognizable and save time and effort of someone who wants to help u.
Here comes the confusion:
Now while fetching the records (based on query)
The problem what I am facing is, when the control comes to PO/TSF list box.. >since its multi record block, all the record's PO/TSF list box are getting enabled i think with the piece of code i have just posted to u this can't be happened since it disable all the record's PO/TSF.
if this didn't solve ur problem i suggest either u post ur code to help u or u try to put some validations with :
if statment inside the loop depending on the list item's values which will enable or disable related items to the list.
Hope this help u,
If any Questions pls let me know..

Abdetu..

Querying a multi-record block within my form

I have a form where I perform validations of items entered on my main block. I compare the item value entered to an expected value and if they are different then an exception record must be created in a separate, multi-record block within my application. One record on my main block may end up with multiple different exception records in the multi-record block. As a result, part of my validation must include determining whether the user has already created an exception record for the item that I'm validating in the multi-record block.
Is there a way for me to query and uncomitted, multi-record block in my form? Help would be greatly appreciated!

Andreas' method is good.
Only several changes:
LOOP... EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS='NEW';
(Use NEW, not TRUE)
And just before the Raise Form_Trigger_Failure, I would Go_Item to either the item in error, or to a new line in the exceptions block. And also issue an error message.
....By the way...
If your exceptions block has more rows than will fit on the screen, then your search loop function will may cause the rows to jump up or down when the user tries to commit. There is a way to reset the view after the function completes its search -- you just need to store the value of the block's Top_Record property before the First_Record command, and then Go_Record(Top_Rec_value); after the function completes its loop.
Also, there is a way to prompt the user to enter the exception record when you first validate the item in a when-validate-item trigger. But the user might ignore the prompt, so you still need to re-check everything from the key-commit process. To use the WVI prompting, in the WVI trigger you check if an exception is required. If it is, store the item name in a package variable, then start a non-repeating timer. When the timer expires, save the :System.cursor_item value (so you can go_item back to it after calling the function), and then call the function to check for the exception for the item named in the package variable. If not found, prompt the user. If found, go_item back to the cursor_item_value.

How to set default settings to display record count in multi record block

Hi All
Whenever I query my multi record block, I get 1/? as record count at the console in standard Oracle Applications. Is there any setting so that it displays 1/50 (in case total record queried is 50). I don't want to set query all property of block as I don't have any control in standard Apps forms.
Thanks in advance
Navdeep

Check out the next_navigation_item option for the get_item_property procedure. If you use this you can do the process without having to navigate from one item to the next.
You can do something like this (untested) to move and resize the items (other than the first in the block):
PROCEDURE move_and_resize(p_item IN ITEM, p_width IN PLS_INTEGER) IS
  prev_item ITEM := Get_Item_Property(p_item, PREVIOUS_NAVIGATION_ITEM);
BEGIN
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH, Get_Item_Property(p_item, WIDTH) + p_width);
  Set_Item_Property(p_item, X_POS, Get_Item_Property(prev_item, WIDTH) +
                                   Get_Item_Property(prev_item, X_POS));
END move_and_resize;
move_and_resize(myitem, -30);

About populating a non-database item in a multi-records block

Hi, all
I have a problem about populating a non-database item in a
multi-records block. This block is set to database block with a
controlled item which needs to be populated after query. so I
create a post-query trigger, but my problem is when the records
listed in this block are less than 10 ( the record number is set
to 10), the trigger fires no problem. but when the retrieved
records are greater than 10, the error message is 'post query
trigger raised unhandled exception ora 01403'. anyone can help me
fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
Diana

Diana,
When you have an unbound item in a block and want to fetch
some data into it you need to write a post-query trigger.What
you have done is right.But it seems that u are getting a No data
found error.I am sure about how u r populating data into that
field.If u have written a select statement to fetch the data in
post-query trigger, kindly handle an exception and find out the
problem.Having a look at ur code(pos-query) would be much more
helpful for giving a better solution.Try this a let me know.
Thanks

In the insert mode its working fine(unless you gurus feel to change to make it more perfect.
When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field and then do a execute query it brings all the records of 'IAS'.
Now as I want to update the records, and when I navigate across field(s_type,cer_dl,Seq,xyz) using tab and move the cursor down on second
record(IAS N 2 N), what happens is when I navigate to sequence field the cursor jumps to LAST RECORD( IAS Y 3 N ) of LAST field XYZ.
I am putting the sample record
s_type cer_dl seq xyz
IAS N 1 N
IAS N 2 N
IAS N 3 N
IAS N 4 N
IAS Y 1 N
IAS Y 2 N
IAS Y 3 N
The cursor moves to last record --IAS -Y -3-N when I tab across the second record.

When I say enter-query and put 'IAS' in the s_type field...For your validation to work you must not allow users to enter records in the middle of a block, clear records from the block or query specific records. If you allow the users to enter a query then you are allowing 2 of the rules to be broken.

How to call a report with a bind variable from a multi-record block

Hi,
I have created a report using the BI Publisher functionality. I did all the integration, created the SQL Query and uploaded the template. Up till here everythings fine!
My SQL Query has 2 bind variables.
I will call my report from a multi record block, at the end of each record an icon is shown which the user can click to open the report.
I created a column link for this item (PRINT_REPORT=Inschrijvingsformulier) but I do not manage to pass the parameters to my report. The parameters I want to pass are 2 columns in this Multi Record block.
I created 2 hidden fields on the page P9_PARAMETER1, P9_PARAMETER2 with the same names as my bind variables and fill this in with the values #PARAMETER1#, #PARAMETER2# from the multi record block.
It seems it does not work as my report stays empty. (also XML file stays empty).
Am I trying the wrong way?
Thanks for any advice,
Kris

hi khadeer,
create one report program and write the required code,and call this function module 'SSF_FUNCTION_MODULE_NAME' and give your smartform name and also when u activate ur smart form u will get one function module call that function module also and specify any tables used...
i think this solves ur problem...
any queries revert back..
pls reward points if helpful,

How to do validation on multi record block at run time...

Dear Friends,
I have to do validation at run time on multi record block.
If user tries to enter and save two or more records in same multi record block with same data at run time, it should not allow it and display a message like, " error : Records are having same(duplicate) values. "
I already did validation with the data coming from database table using cursor. But confused about how to do at run time(on one screen only) ??
Please, give details about how to check duplicate records on form block before saving it to the table ????
Regarding details would be greatly helpful.
thanks,

Hi...Pankaj
thanx for your reply..
I already did validation for the data coming from table....
but I need to do it on form only...at run time...
exa...
In one multi record block
record no : column 1 : column 2 : column 3
1 abc 123 hi
2 abc 123 hi
so it should check on the form itself, here I m not getting data from table...I am just
navigating from first record to second using down arrow.
so, may be 2 possibilities.
1) when user navigates using tab to third record, it should say like two duplicate records.(may be like when validate record or item)
2) or when user tries to save, it should say two duplicate records.
so, everyting should take place on form screen only.....
waiting for your reply,
thanx...

Setting background color in multi record block

Hi all!
I've a table with around 150 records of colors with html-color-names and rgb codes.
I would like to have a sample item in my form 9.0.4 to display the color as a preview for
each record in a multi-record block when querying the table.
I would not like to create a visual attribute for each color. So display_item() is no choice.
(except: somebody show me how to create va's with the japi)
Somebody knows a way to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance and regards
Stauder

Here's a solution which should work :
1. Use a mirror item for the numeric item which has to
be displayed
using the format mask based on value in column1
The data type of the mirror item : Char
X and Y co-ordinates : Same as the item
on which it is
mirrored
Size and Height : Same as the item
on which it is
mirrored
2. On normal display, Mirror item is displayed
3. When Mouse-Click or Pre-Text Item trigger on the
Mirror Item :
- Use the Go_Item ('Actual Numeric Item');
This will bring up the Numeric Item and the Mirror
item goes in hiding
- A VWI trigger on Numeric Item should Then be :
If ( :col1 = 'A' ) Then
:Mirror_Item :=
To_char(:NumericItem, ',999,999.99');
Else
:Mirror_Item :=
To_char(:NumericItem, '99999999');
End If;
4. A key-Next-Item (On Numeric Item) or other trigger ??
should then
use Go_Item (:Mirror Item) to bring forward the
formatted numeric item

Check duplicate data entry in multi record block,which is a mandatory field

Dear all,
I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
As for reference I have used a logic,such as
1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
then
2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem is that,if user enter the value in that field,and then goes to next field,enter value to that field and then press 'Enter Query 'icon,the bolth Validate trigger fires.As result first when-validate record fires,which stores that value,and then when-validate-item fires,as a result it shows duplicate record message
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

@Ammad Ahmed
first of all thanks .your logic worked,but still i have some little bit of problem,
now the requirement is a master detail form where both master and detail is multirecord ,where detail cannot have duplicate record,
such as..........
MASTER:--
A code
A1
A2
DETAIL:--
D code
d1
d2 <-valid as for master A1 , detail d1 ,d2 are not duplicate
d2 <--invalid as as for master A1 , detail d2 ,d2 are duplicate
validation rule: A Code –D Code combination is unique. The system will stop users from entering duplicate D Code for a A Code. Appropriate error message will be displayed.*
actually i am facing a typical problem,the same logic i have been applied in detail section ,its working fine when i am inserting new records.problem starts when i query,after query in ' a ' field say 2 records (i.e. which has been earlier saved) has been pasted,now if i insert a new record with the value exactly same with the already present value in the screen(i.e. value populated after query) its not showing duplicate.................could u tell me the reason?and help me out...............its urgent plzzzzzzzzz

FETCHING VALUES IN MULTI RECORD BLOCK FROM ANOTHER TABLE USING SELECT STATEMENT.

Hi,
I have one multi record block in which i want to fetch values
(more then one record) from another table using select statement
IN KEY NEXT ITEM.I am getting following error.
ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows
Thanks in advance.

In your case I see no reason to use non-database block and to try to populate it from a trigger with a query, instead of using the default forms functionality where you can associate the block and the fields with table, create where clause using bind variables and simply use execute_query() build-in to populate the block. The power of the forms is to use their build-in functionality to interact with the database.
Also, you can base your block on a query, not on a table and you dynamically change this query using set_block_property() build-in. You can use any dynamic queries (based on different data sources) and you simply need to control the column's data type, the number of the columns and their aliases. Something like creating inline views as a block data source.
However, you can replace the explicit cursor with implicit one like
go_block('non_db_block_name');
first_record();
FOR v_tab IN (SELECT *
FROM tab
WHERE col_name = :variable)
LOOP
:non_db_block_name.field1 := v_tab.col1;
:non_db_block_name.field2 := v_tab.col2;
next_record();
END LOOP;

Check Duplicate data during data key-in Multi Record Block

Image item in multi-record block - PLEASE SOMEONE HELP !

Hello everyone.
I have a multi-record block with an image item that is not in teh table, is populated in the post-query trigger with a read_image_item, from a gif file. This block is child of another block. The problem is that the first records of the block, the ones that fit on the screen, are not showing the image properly, the image appears grey, distorted. In reality, the image dont adjust to the size of the item, as it is especified in the properties. When i scroll down, the rest of records show the image perfect, but this ones still are distorted.
Forms is 6.0.8.22.1, over oracle 9i. Thank you all in advance.

Re-sequencing records in a multi record block

I have a multirecord block with sequence No field which is unique no and other fiels which is showing from the values which I have stored in a table say sequence No from 1 to 10 along with other fields.If I change the record which has the sequence No say 6 to become seq no 2 ,then the record with seq no 2 should become seq no 3 and the rec with seq no 3 should become seq no 4 and rec with seq no 4 should become seq no 5 and rec ord with seq no 5 should become seq no 6.This should automatically happen when the user changes say
seq no 6 to seq no 2 .User may change any seqq no like this.
We will provide 2 text box serialNo from and Serial No 2 and a button click should swap the records in between this two seq no and show it on the screen in the multi record block.Please help me to code this.

User455091,
1- You can add a non based checkbox item to your block. To resequence a record, you may have to check the record you want to change and then, check the position you want to change it for. Example: if you want to change the 6th to seq 2, you check the record 6 and check the record 2 right after (you can choose any logic to implement your sequence change. this is only an example).
2- When you check the first record, set a global variable "seq_from" with the value of the sequence field (or :system.cursor_record if the block is ordered by this sequence)
3- When you check the 2nd record, set a global variable "seq_to" and proceed to the resequence.
4- Manage the change down and change up (if "seq_from">"seq_to" or "seq_from"<"seq_to")
5- You have to change the values of all the record fields for all the records between seq_from and seq_to. by doing a loop between seq_from and seq_to. You may have to use previous_record or next_record depending on if it is a change_qown or a change_up.
6- When the resequence is done, reset all the variables to blank, and don't forget your checkbox!
This seems difficult, but only think about it. It is easier than what you expect. This method is more user-freindly but, just think about it....
