Running a query from a called form programmatically

Question

Hi,
I would like to run a query from a called form using the same criteria as the calling form used, this is my situation;
I have a form with a field called IDNO when I execute the query I have code in the KEY-EXEQRY that first checks the HOLDER table to see if the IDNO exists if it does, the query will continue as normal and the record will be shown in the form, if it does not exist I have to query another table called DISTRIBUTOR which also has a field called IDNO. I would this to happen without any intervention from the user, in other words the the code that I have will call the second form and must execute the query. This is what I have so far in the KEY-EXEQRY.
*************************************************************************8
IF :holder.idno IS NOT NULL THEN
DECLARE
v_holder_idno xrays.holder.idno%type;
v_distr_idno xrays.holder.idno%type;
CURSOR holder_idno_cursor IS
SELECT idno
FROM holder
WHERE idno LIKE :holder.idno
ORDER BY idno;
CURSOR distr_idno_cursor IS
SELECT idno
FROM distr
WHERE idno LIKE :holder.idno
ORDER BY idno;
BEGIN
OPEN holder_idno_cursor;
FETCH holder_idno_cursor INTO v_holder_idno;
CLOSE holder_idno_cursor;
IF v_holder_idno IS NULL THEN
OPEN distr_idno_cursor;
FETCH distr_idno_cursor INTO v_distr_idno;
CLOSE distr_idno_cursor;
IF v_distr_idno IS NOT NULL THEN
CALL_FORM('X_DISTRIBUTOR_FORM');
/* This is where I need to populate the idno of the called form and execute the query and when the program gets back to the calling form the calling form should be in normal mode not query */
END IF;     
END IF;     
END;
END IF;
execute_query;

can anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you

Note something else...
If the above document is not applicable to 9i then you can find many...many articles if you write on the 'search' utility of OTN 'integrate reports and forms ' .
