Sub Form in 10GR2

Question

Hi All,
How to display a sub-form (using call_form) in forms10gr2.10.0.2 ?
Requirement : From my main form i want to display a small form from which i will pass some values through global variables according to user selection.
Currently my subform is coming over the main form and am unable to view the main form..
Thanks in Advance

Dora.
try something like this may it helps u or give u some clues.
sub form code.
when-new-form-instance trigger.
begin
default_value ( null, 'global.item' );
if
     :global.item is not null AND
     :global.item != 'CREATE'
then
set_block_property ( 'table name', onetime_where, ' item = ''' || :global.item || '''' );
execute_query;
if
     :block.itemis null
then
:iblock.ID := :global.item;
set_window_property ( 'Message', title, 'Message' );
end if;
end if;
end;
Main Form
when-button-pressed trigger
begin
default_value ( null, 'global.item' );
default_value ( null, 'global.item' );
call_form ( 'your form name',no_hide,
no_replace);
if
name_in ( 'global.item' ) is not null
then
:block.item := :global.item;
end if;
if
name_in ( 'global.item ) is not null
then
:block.item := :global.item;
end if;
erase ( 'global.item' );
erase ( 'global.item' );
end;
