Record group query question

Just wondering if we need to check :system.mode = query or normal in the query for record groups or oracle forms handles it automatically
Thanks

No, you should not check System.Mode in a record group query. But then, Forms does not do that either.
Your question makes me wonder what you are doing... Record groups are usually populated only when you need to see a list of values, or use an LOV to perform an edit.

List item - Record Group Query - Alignment improper Order

Dear All,
When am trying to concatenate two columns using record group query and displaying in the list item, the alignment is not in proper order.
E.g; Below is the columns and data's used in process:
CODE_VALUE     SHORT_DESC     DESCRIPTION
ROLL1     Customer - Non accidental     Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.
ROLL2     Customer - Accidental     L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.
ROLL3     ABC - Lack of empty     Lack of empty units.
ROLL4     ABC CDE - Roll over     AGR RRR decision.
ROLL5     ABC XXX - Accidental     IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.
ROLL6     ABC YYY - Fictive booking     Equipment buffer, dummy booking.
Below is the record group query used in forms:
PROCEDURE p_when_new_form_instance
IS
GROUP_ID recordgroup;
list_id item := FIND_ITEM ('BLK_CONTROL.LI_ROLL_REASON');
rg_name VARCHAR2 (20) := 'LI_ROLL_REASONS';
status NUMBER;
l_query VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
l_query :=
'SELECT rpad(short_desc,50,'' '')||'' | ''||description description, code_value code_value FROM codes WHERE code_value IN (''ROLL1'', ''ROLL2'', ''ROLL3'',''ROLL4'',''ROLL5'',''ROLL6'')';
GROUP_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY (rg_name, l_query);
status := POPULATE_GROUP (GROUP_ID);
POPULATE_LIST (list_id, GROUP_ID);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
pl_common.when_others;
END;
Moreover i have my list item font property by default as ""MS SANS SERIF" and when i run in Forms Builder am getting the alignment as below.
Result:
====
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
Above order is not the expected result as all the |(pipe) symbol should display in proper order as below.
Expected Result:
==========
DESCRIPTION     CODE_VALUE
Customer - Non accidental | Production, booking with other carrier, bad projection.     ROLL1
Customer - Accidental | L/C, B/L draft, Customs, Samples, AMS, LAR.     ROLL2
ABC - Lack of empty | Lack of empty units.     ROLL3
ABC CDE - Roll over | AGR RRR decision.     ROLL4
ABC XXX - Accidental | IMO or OOG refused, operational problems, Cut & Run.     ROLL5
ABC YYY - Fictive booking | Equipment buffer, dummy booking.      ROLL6
I tried with RPAD and LPAD still the alignment issue is there; i know the issue is because of invariable length of the font.
But is there any solution to override this it will be of great help.
So please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks..................
Regards,
Sunil.G

Hi Francois,
Thanks for your reply. I have tried changing the font to "Courier(Western)" it is working fine.
But as per the standards defined, it should be "Ms Sans Serif" nothing apart from that.So that is where the problem lies. :(

ORA-00904 when use column alias in Record Group Query

Is it possible to use column aliases in Record Group Queries?
I have a query that runs fine in SQL*Developer, but gives me runtime errors when I use it as a Record Group Query.
When I use it as a Record Group Query, the Form compiles, but at runtime I receive the following errors:
FRM-40502: ORACLE error: unable to read list of values
when I use Help - Display Error, I see:
ORA-00904:"CHILDNAME":invalid identifier
The query is something like this
select decode(complex stuff here) as "childname" ....
I've tried it with and without the double quotes surrounding the alias name, and have also tried it without using the "as" keyword.
I would appreciate any suggestions or insights. I'm using Forms 9.0.4.
Thanks.

It looks like this is caused by bug 725059:
"FILTER BEFORE DISPLAY" DOESN'T WORK IF LOV HAS COLUMN ALIASES (TRIAGE1098)
My LOV does have the Filter Before Display turned on. Here's the text of the bug:
IF an LOV is created with column aliases in the select statement, (eg: select ename emp_name from emp) and the LOV property "Filter Before Display" is "Yes", THEN when you attempt to filter the LOV at runtime, (eg: type '%' then press the 'Find' button) the internal WHERE clause that forms sends to the database is: WHERE column_alias LIKE '%%' This is incorrect syntax. A client-side sqlnet trace shows this. The correct syntax should be: WHERE column LIKE '%%' . The incorrect syntax results in no rows returned. However no error is displayed by forms to the user.

Record Group Query - item block

I need to calculate a Record Group Query using a block item value, but when a use the query below the query didn't return rows:
SELECT OID_SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED
     , F.COD_FINALIDADE || ' - ' || F.DES_FINALIDADE DES_FINALIDADE
FROM SIIB_FINALIDADE_TED F
      , ( SELECT P.TP_PARAMETRO
            FROM SIIB_PARAMETROS_GERAIS P
          WHERE P.NM_PARAMETRO = 'TIPO_' || :BLOCK.ITEMX ) PAR -- using the :BLOCK.ITEMX the query did'nt return data
WHERE PAR.TP_PARAMETRO = F.TPO_FINALIDADEBut if a use a static query the Record Group( changing :BLOCK.ITEMX for 'STR0005' ) return the desired values.
This Record Group is used to pupulate a LOV.

No, it doesn't .
And return the message: "There aren't data in the List of Values"
And the block item is not empty or null.

Using 'like' in record group query

Hi ,
(Forms 6i)
I'm creating a record group dynamically.
So in when new item trigger for a list item,
i want to list all names from a table like 'a%';
query : select name, to_char(id) id from test_name where name like 'a%';
but i'm not able give single quote(') in the query.
Is there a way to do that?
Edited by: Tuts009 on May 9, 2010 1:38 AM

Hi Arif,
i'm not giving a% directly in the query, this i'm getiing from what we type in the list , so :list4
i'm storing it in another string say str and then the query will be
str := :list4||'%';
rg_id := Create_Group_From_Query( rg_name,
'SELECT name,to_char(id) id from test_name where name like '||str); Now any help?

Discount Groups Query Question

My goal is to create a query that shows all BP's that have a Discount by Group set for them that is greater than zero. I get output that repeats every discount group for every unique discount that exists in the system.
I need help to enhance this query to strip out the redundant and inaccurate records.
Query Code:
SELECT T2.[CardCode] AS 'BP Code', T1.[CardName] AS 'BP Name', T0.[ItmsGrpNam] AS 'Group Name', T2.[Discount] AS 'Discount' FROM [dbo].[OITB] T0 , [dbo].[OCRD] T1 INNER JOIN [dbo].[OSPG] T2 ON T2.[CardCode] = T1.CardCode WHERE T2.[Discount] > 0
Thanks,
Glen

Hi Glen,
The OSPG table holds special price data for Item Groups, Item Properties and Companies. SBO identifies these different types using the ObjType column in this table. The database reference in the SDK Help Center will show you the constraints on this column:
52 = Item Group
8 = Item Property
43 = Companies
Depending on the ObjType, the ObjKey field will then contain the key for linking back to the relevant table (eg if the ObjType is 52 then the ObjKey will contain the Item Group code to link to the OIBT table). Put this together and you get:
OIBT T0 inner join OSPG T2 on T2.ObjType = 52 and T2.ObjKey = T0.ItmsGrpCod
This join therefore is quite specific to how the OSPG table links to other related tables.
For a full list of object types in the database and for the DI API, you can look at the BoObjectTypes enumeration in the DI API reference in the SDK Help Center.
Hope this helps,
Owen

Help with poplist record group query

Hi, I want to populate a poplist based on the following query:
SELECT value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY code
Now I know that you need 2 columns in the record group to populate a poplist, but I cannot seem to modify the query to have 2 columns. I am basically adding the 'ALL' value, which will have a label of 'ALL' and a value of 'ALL'.
The first select I can easily modify to be an acceptable record group for a dynamic poplist, Its the union that im having problems with. The following select does not work. Help would be appreciated.
SELECT table.value, table.value
FROM table.value
WHERE code_parent IS NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'ALL', 'ALL'
FROM dual
ORDER
BY table.value

Based on the error I'd guess that one of your columns are defined as a number and the union columns are both varchar2. Match the datatype with the column it corresponds to:
UNION
SELECT 'ALL', 0
FROM DUAL
ORDER BY 1
The order by clause also needs to reference the column number instead of the column name since the union clause does not have a column name.

RECORD GROUP QUERY PROPERTY

Hi:
Is there any way you can get at runtime the query of a record group?.
I can't find any property for this.
Can I use a tree to put there the record group and after this get it with
Ftree.GET_TREE_PROPERTY( htree, 'QUERY_TEXT')
Thanx

I don't think that it will work with a tree, but you could try to keep the query in a parameter and assign it to the recordgroup at runtime. At least you can read the parameter.

Record Group Query

When i click the LOV it is giving Error Frm-40502 ORACLE error: unable to read list of values.
I have written the following query in the Record Group
Select uua_cd_company, uua_cd_dept, uua_id_proc_cntr from v_user_user_area where uua_id_users = user
I have used the user keyword in my query. When i run my form connecting to 11g database i get the LOV error
But when i run the form in 10g Database the LOV works.
Is there any restirction in using "User" in record group in LOV

Seems like the select does not work for some reason against your 11g database. Try to execute the query using SQL*Plus with the same user youuse to connect in forms.

Error message:FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)

Requirement: Need to get employee name and number in the LOV in search criteria.
So I created LOV "full_name" and Record group Query under Employee Name property palette with
select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name
,papf.employee_number

AND PPT.default_flag='Y' and papf.BUSINESS_GROUP_ID=1
order by papf.full_name
I was unable to save and getting error message "FRM-12001: Cannot Create the record group(check your query)".
I cant use PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F.FULL_NAME since full name here is last_name||title||middle_names||firstname.
But my requiremnet is papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name .
Can any one of you help me.

First, Magoo wrote:
<pre>create or replace function emp_full_name ( p_title in varchar2,
p_last_name in varchar2,
p_first_name in varchar2,
p_mid_names in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
begin
for l_rec in ( select decode ( p_title, null, null, p_title || ' ' ) ||
p_last_name || ', ' || p_first_name ||
decode ( p_mid_names, null, null, ' ' || p_mid_names ) full_name
from dual ) loop
return ( l_rec.full_name );
end loop;
end;</pre>
Magoo, you don't ever need to use Select from Dual. And the loop is completely unnecessary, since Dual always returns only one record. This would be much simpler:
<pre>create or replace function emp_full_name
( p_title in varchar2,
p_last_name in varchar2,
p_first_name in varchar2,
p_mid_names in varchar2 ) return varchar2 is
begin
Return ( Ltrim( Rtrim ( p_title
||' ' ||p_last_name
||', '||p_first_name
||' ' ||p_middle_names )));
end;</pre>
And second:
user606106, you did not mention how you got your record group working. However, you DO have an issue with spaces. If you change this:
<pre>select papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names emp_full_name
,papf.employee_number </pre>
to this:
<pre>select Ltrim(Rtrim(papf.title||' '||papf.last_name||', '
||papf.first_name||' '||papf.middle_names)) AS emp_full_name,
papf.employee_number</pre>
it should work. The Ltrim(Rtrim()) removes leading and trailing spaces from the resulting full name.

Dynamically populate a record group on the fly uisng LOV

Hi,
I want to create dynamically populate a record group on the fly uisng LOV.
1. This is how the RG_BANKNAME Record Group object look like
Object : Record Group
Name : RG_BANKNAME
Record Group Query : SELECT NAME, SHORT_NAME FROM C_BANKS
2. I create the Push Button and when user click it will popup the LOV.
DECLARE
     rg_id RecordGroup;
     errcode NUMBER;
     status BOOLEAN;
BEGIN
     rg_id := Find_Group('RG_BANKNAME');
     IF Id_Null(rg_id) THEN
          Message('No such group: ',ACKNOWLEDGE);
          RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
     ELSE
          errcode :=POPULATE_GROUP(rg_id);
          SET_LOV_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', TITLE, 'My Own LOV');
          SET_LOV_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', GROUP_NAME, rg_id);
          SET_LOV_COLUMN_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', 1 ,Title, 'NAME');
          SET_LOV_COLUMN_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', 1 ,Width, 150);
          SET_LOV_COLUMN_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', 2 ,Title, 'SHORT NAME');
          SET_LOV_COLUMN_PROPERTY('LV_NAME', 2 ,Width, 100);
          status := Show_LOV('LV_NAME',10,20);
          IF NOT status THEN
               Message('You have not selected a value.');
               Bell;
          END IF;
     END IF;
END;
My question is do I need to create the LOV Object name call 'LV_NAME'? since I don't have this
create on my design times, because I thought it can be done dynamically on the fly.
The problem is compliant that the Lov Id is not valid.
Thanks
David

Hello,
You request is not clear. Do you need to display the LOV or not ? In other words, what is the goal of your record group ?

Source data for Record Group

Hello,
I am very new to Oracle Forms and have been tasked with pointing some forms we have to a new server and adding a couple of columns to come areas. Everything was going ok until I got to a the point where I have to add a new column to an area on a form. The forms are pointing to the new tables and the searches are working, or at least seem to be working. How can I tell the data source for a data group? I checked properties for the record group (RECORD_STATISTICS) that populates a certain area on a form and it has query selected as the record group type but there is no query showing. I added the column needed to the column specifications list but it does not show up when I run the form. There is a spot for it because the extra hyphen is there.
Here is the code that populates the fields on the form. The field I added is the ahs_site column. As mentioned earlier I added that field to the RECORD_STATISTICS data group as well as to all the procedures I can find but am missing something..
DECLARE
htree ITEM;
num_selected NUMBER;
current_node FTREE.NODE;
v_note_value number;
v_node_depth number;
 total_rows number;
group_id RecordGroup;
v_selection_count NUMBER;
BEGIN
-- Find the tree itself.
htree := Find_Item('BLOCK_STATISTICS_TREE.TREE_ITEM_STAT');
v_selection_count := Ftree.GET_TREE_PROPERTY(htree, Ftree.SELECTION_COUNT);
IF v_selection_count>0 THEN
 v_note_value := Ftree.Get_Tree_Node_Property(htree, :SYSTEM.TRIGGER_NODE, Ftree.NODE_VALUE);
 IF v_note_value IS NOT NULL THEN
 group_id := Find_Group('RECORD_STATISTICS');
 total_rows := Get_Group_Row_Count(group_id);

 END IF;
 END IF;
 END LOOP;

 END IF;
 END IF;
END;
Hope that made sense. I do not understand how data flows through forms just yet or how to phrase my question in terms that understandable. I do have some screen shots I could send anyone willing to help.
Thank you.

Adding a column to column specification does nothing.
First of all, check the record group query in record group properties:
1) In forms builder object tree find that record group, right-click > property palette.
2) Look for property (just cann't remember exactly its name) where select query is specified.
3) Add the column you need to the query. Column specification will refresh automatically.
There is one more way to specify query for record group. Look for calls of POPULATE_GROUP_WITH_QUERY procedure in the form code.
Forms 6i: menu program > find and replace pl/sql, Forms 10: edit > find and replace pl/sql. In the search field type POPULATE_GROUP_WITH_QUERY. Then see the results where your record group RECORD_STATISTIC is being populated programmatically. If no calls were found - the only data source is in record groups properties.

URGENT : Record Group Problem

hello all
i have a problem regarding record group.
i want to populate my record group with a dynamic clause which is
"and main_code not in ('02725','02868')"
and my record group query is
"select mt.main_number from main_table mt,main_parent mp
where mt.main_code = mp.main_code
and mt.main_code not in (:parameter.param_main_code)"
now i am adopting the following method for populating the
LOV(list of values) which is attached to a text item:
assigning values i.e. '02725','02868' to my parameter object i.e. :parameter.param_main_code but the record group is not giving changd results according to my criteria i.e.'02725','02868'...
does any body knows the solution for this problem..kindly help him with it..logically the record group query should work and return a changed results for the LOV..
please help me with this.....
thank you.

I thing you can't able to do what you are trying to do, but you can achive this by using dynamic record group.
Create the dynamic record as same struncture of design time then populate it by the coding.
Sample Code is
declare
     l_rec_name RecordGroup;
     l_rec_col GroupColumn;
     l_rec_col1 GroupColumn;
     cursor l_ename is select ename from emp;
     l_row number(12):= 1;
begin
     l_rec_name := create_group('rg_dynamic',Form_scope, 100);
     l_rec_col := add_group_column(l_rec_name,'ENAME',char_column,30);
     l_rec_col1 := add_group_column(l_rec_name,'EMPNO',number_column,6);
     for i in l_ename
     loop
          add_group_row(l_rec_name, end_of_group);
set_group_char_cell(l_rec_col,l_row, i.ename);
set_group_number_cell(l_rec_col1,l_row, l_row);
l_row := l_row+1;
     end loop;
     :parameter.num_rows := l_row -1;
     set_lov_property('LOV5',group_name,'RG_DYNAMIC');
end;
I hope this will help you to solve this problem.

Creating Record Group dynamically.

Hi,
I have multi line block. My req is i have create record group dynamically based on some fields in line level. This my code in To Location - Key next item,
DECLARE
group_id          RecordGroup;
v_lms_lov lov;
BEGIN
group_id := Create_Group_From_Query ('RG_LMSID',
'SELECT lms_id
FROM sify_lms_header
WHERE from_location = :lines.from_location
AND to_location = :lines.to_location;'
v_lms_lov := find_lov('LOV_LMSID');
set_lov_property(v_lms_lov,group_name,'RG_LMSID');
Set_Item_Property('LINES.LMS_ID',LOV_NAME,'LOV_LMSID');
END;
It says, no records in lov. Anything i missed.
Or any other way to achieve this.
Pl help.
Thanks
Kavitha

Kavitha,
Why you need Dynamic record group for this?, you can give the control names in the record group query. Then the record group's query will be
SELECT LMS_ID FROM SIFY_LMS_HEADER WHERE FROM_LOCATION = :LINES.FROM_LOCATION AND TO_LOCATION = :LINES.TO_LOCATIONAnd if you still want to use the dynamic record group creation, then try
DECLARE
     RG_Group_ID RECORDGROUP;
BEGIN
     RG_Group_ID := FIND_GROUP('RG_LMSID');
IF NOT Id_Null(RG_Group_ID) THEN
          DELETE_GROUP(RG_Group_ID);
END IF;
     RG_Group_ID := CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY('RG_LMSID', 'SELECT LMS_ID FROM SIFY_LMS_HEADER WHERE FROM_LOCATION = ''' || :LINES.FROM_LOCATION || ''' AND TO_LOCATION = ''' || :LINES.TO_LOCATION || '''');
     SET_LOV_PROPERTY('LOV_LMSID',     GROUP_NAME, 'RG_LMSID');
     SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('LINES.LMS_ID', LOV_NAME,   'LOV_LMSID');
END;Regards,
Manu.
