Set_block_property and Default_where

Question

Hi All,
I'm trying to set the default clause at runtime,for that i'm using set_block_properties.
Here is my cde:
Set_block_property('RECIPIENT_VIEW',DEFAULT_WHERE,'RECIPIENT_NAME LIKE '||''''||:RECIPIENT_NAME ||'%'||'''');
I'm NOT getting if i use this in KEY-EXEQRY or PRE-QUERY triggers(I'm getting it, when i use this in button).
How can solve this problem in KEY-EXEQRY or PRE-QUERY triggers ?
Please help me.
Thanks
P

Because form default enter-query, execute-query buttons look your input format:
1) if you type in A in the field, then form constructs the default where by appending additional RECIPIENT_NAME ='A';
2) If you type in A% in the field, then form constructs it by appending the additional RECIPIENT_NAME LIKE 'A%';
That's to say, if you SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('blockname',
DEFAULT_WHERE,
'RECIPIENT_NAME LIKE '''||:RECIPIENT_NAME ||'%'||''') in the PRE-QUERY trigger of forms6i, then the block where condition becomes the below format,
for 1) input:
RECIPIENT_NAME LIKE 'A%' AND RECIPIENT_NAME ='A'
for 2) input:
RECIPIENT_NAME LIKE 'A%' AND RECIPIENT_NAME ='A%'
Therefore, for input 'A%' it will work for you, for input 'A', it will have no much chance to get the record unless you make record 'A', then it will get you the data.
Remember, after you type in something, the block where clause changed if you use the default menu enter/execute-query buttons.
you will see it if you check the :system.last_query.
