hello
Change/ modify the properties of the check box item;
for the check boxes :
1. Make the data type of the check box as number;
2. fill the functional a.)value when check = 1 b.) value when uncheck = 0;
3. add new item to summarize the value of the checkbox;
change properties of the new added item
datatype number;
calculation summary
summary function :- sum
summarize block :- your block
summarize item :- your check box item.

Validations in Oracle Forms 6i

Hi,
Can anybody please let me know how do we use phone and email validators in Oracle Forms 6i for textitem.
and what is the format for phone and email and how do we create.

hi
you can validate the format of an email in the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger
by using a function stored in the db that checks if the format of the email is correct
for example :
FUNCTION is_valid_email(i_email IN VARCHAR2) RETURN BOOLEAN
IS
v_dummy NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
SELECT 1 INTO v_dummy
FROM dual
WHERE regexp_like(i_email,'^[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[_a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*@[a-zA-Z0-9-]+(\.[a-zA-Z0-9-]+)*(\.[a-zA-Z]{2,4})$');
RETURN TRUE;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
RETURN FALSE;
WHEN others THEN
RETURN FALSE;
END is_valid_email;
you can also use regexp for the validation of a tel number
I hope that helps you.

Text Item Validation in Oracle Forms 6i

Dear All Seniors
Please guide that how to do validation on text fileds in oracle FORMS 6i.
I have form like that
table name= emp
columns:
Code, Name
Code is auto generationg and Name field manually data typed.
now if
code, Name
1 Asim
2 Asim // it should not take .
please help.

Hi,
You mean it should not take dupliate names or it should not take "//"
If you have a set of character that should not be there for this field try using instr function. You can check if the field contains any character you don't want to be included in the name field.
If instr(:name,'A') > 0 then
message('xxxxxxx');

Check Box item in oracle forms

Hello experts,               I am new in oracle forms. I am using oracle forms 11g,weblogic server 10.3.5,oracle database 11g at windows 7 platform. I have a simple data block from base table.there is a tabular form is selected, It has four rows(records). Now I have to make 4 check boxes adjacent to records in data block in another data block.Now I have to make functionality in which only those records should be inserted into database table for which corresponding (in front of the record) check box is checked. Thank you regards aaditya.

Hi,
Commit_Form built-in function commits all the available data base fields. So you have to use separate insert into statement to complete your task.
Like...
for i in 1 .. 4
loop
     first_record;
     if :chk_box='Y' then
          Insert into <table_name> values(field1,field2,....);
     end if;
     next_record;
end loop;

How to develop a file dialog box in a oracle forms

please help me its an urgent task,
how to develop a file dialog box in a oracle 6i forms
in html we will use <input type ="file"/> to open a dialog box,so that we can upload file to the server .similarly how to upload a file using oracle.

For Windows there is a library that comes with forms d2kwutil.pll that contains a package win_api_dialog. use the open_file procedure.
NOTE******** when you select a file from whatever windows directory you choose, it will change your working directory to that directory so right after that you will need to reassign your working directory back to what it originally was.
Also, you will need to have d2kwut60.dll in the same directory as your d2kwutil.pll. Both come with Developer.
Example code is
v_runpath := win_api_environment.get_working_directory(TRUE);
v_filename := win_api_dialog.open_file('Find File','C:\','*.*',TRUE, 0, TRUE);
win_api_environment.set_working_directory(v_runpath,true);
Hope this helps

Is LOV able to do real validation like Oracle Forms LOV?

Dear JHeadstart Team,
I am using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3 and JHeadstart 10.1.3.2.52.
To simplify the situation, I explain the problem using scott schema.
I created a page on the emp table and used a LOV on the deptno and check the lov for validation for the lov. I changed the query of DeptLookupView (which lov uses) and added a where deptno <= 30 to that, so lov just showed the department with deptno <= 30.
Then, When I entered number 40 in the deptno field and pressed tab, the lov poped up with No rows found in that.I pressed the cancel button and the amount of deptno remained 40. I pressed Save and data successfully commited to database.
It seems to me a little strange. This capability exists in the Oracle form and when we use lov for validation in the Oracle form it does not permit us to enter a value which does not exist in the lov. I expected to see that functionality here too. Am I wrong or Is it a bug in JHeadstart?
If it is not a bug and this functionality is not supported in the JHeadstart, is there any way to achieve this functionality.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Navid

Navid,
It is not a bug in JHeadstart, it is intended behavior of ADF Faces. The ADF Faces valueChangesListener that we use to validate and display the LOV window only fires when the user-entered value changed, since the last time the listener fired. When you cancel the LOV and click the Save button the listener no longer fires.
Note however that you are implementing a business rule (deptno must be <- 30) in the view layer only, which is a bad practice. I suggest that you implement the same rule in Business Components and/or in the database.
This way, the user will get an error message when he tries to save a value > 30.

so i want to check overlap value in form level only ..
can u please check my code which i wrote same like you but its not working :

m_exit := m_loop2_rec;
end if;
exit when m_exit > 0;-- or m_loop_rec >= m_last_Rec;
m_loop2_rec := m_loop2_rec +1;
End loop;
exit when m_exit > 0 or m_loop1_rec = m_last_Rec -1;
m_loop1_Rec := m_loop1_rec + 1;

Decimal Point Validation in Oracle Forms 6i

One of my table has a column named interest. Data type of this column is number (4,1) so it can hold 99.9 and 100 both.
If user enters 9.99, oracle form accepts the values and rounds it to 10. When scale defined for this data type is 1 so user shouldnât be allowed entering 2 digits after decimal.
I would like oracle to give error stating that user can enter upto 1 decimal place only so 9.99 is invalid input. Is there any function in oracle form (D2k)that let you know how many digits user has entered after decimal?
Is there any function in oracle form (D2k) that let you know the length of input ?

Hi
Why don't u use Format mask property for the same,so it will not allow user for wrong i/p
alternatively use forms message to display pop-up .

To Calculate total while check box enabled in oracle forms.

hi All,
I am Using Oracle 10g forms. I have a form developed with some 15 fields in it and 10 Records in it.
i have a field called TONS and another CHECKBOX Fied.I have a TOTAL field which is located below to TONS field.
Now By using this TOTAL Field, i wanted to calculate TONS for records only when CHECKBOX field is enabled.if CHECKBOX field is disabled then
TOTAL field Should not calculate the Tons field. how can i do it? Pls Help me...
Thanks in Advance.

If I were coding this, I would use a Calculated field to total your TONS field. Your Calculated field total would be stored in a hidden field and your checkbox code would simply assign the value from the hidden field to your displayed total field or set the displayed total field equal to null depending on the state of your checkbox.
Hope this helps,
Craig B-)

Oracle Forms 10g - logic for self-limiting dropboxes

Hi all,
I do not have any experience with Oracle Forms, and in fact don't even have it installed - what i'm trying to find out is whether something is feasible, and if so how hard it is to accomplish.
I have three tables (we'll call them A, B and C). Table A is the main table, with 35,000 rows. There is a column that I use to join table A to table B, and another that I use to join table A to table C. Relationships and the SQL necessary for any queries are easy, but that's not the problem. What I am trying to figure out is how hard it is to set up a drop box on an oracle form where the user goes in, selects an item from Table A; the second and third drop boxes are then limited to what is being returned by the relationship mentioned above.
A
1 123
1 234
1 456
1 789
2 009
2 008
2 007
B
1 ABV
1 FGJ
1 KOP
2 KLJ
2 IIO
2 KJO
C
1 **(
1 ***
1 **&
2 (()
2 (((
2 $$$
So if I select 123 from my Dropbox for Table A, then the second dropbox will only show ABV, FGJ, AND KOP and the third will have only **(, *** and **&.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Chris

Hi Francois,
I guess I should have explained my reasoning behind posting - I have a meeting this afternoon and was told that the person who develops these forms isn't able to take the time to make modifications to an existing form (which currently is all free text) to have it all these self-limiting drop boxes.
So, given that it's possible, is it very complex, or is it similar to doing this sort of thing in Access or other MS products where you do a query in drop box B using the selection in A as the parameter?
Appreciate your help
Chris

Opening a secure web page from oracle forms for credit card validation

Hi All,
I searched for the topic in the forms forum but couldn't find a solution.
Requirement: As per some compliance, our application cannot do a credit card validation from our forms application, instead we need to use a java code which a third party will provide ,it's an iframe (they say, i am layman when it comes to Java, don't know what is it), but they say that, within your forms application you call our iframe do the credit card validation over there get a token of response back from us and use this token as a confirmation in your application.
Problem: I could not find a solution anywhere wherein i can call a web page from forms. Now, this web page should be modal, i.e. unless i close this page i cannot access my forms application. Please guide me if anyone has done that.
Secondly if i could make it work, how will i communicate with this external web page, like getting back some token value and use it back in my forms application. I am completely clueless.
As we are using Oracle designer for generating forms, we cannot use a bean type thing as designer does not have the bean-item type defined!
Appreciate if anyone could provide me pointers for a solution to this problem statement.
We are on forms 9i -- Version 9.0.2.11.0
Edited by: the_wing_rider on Jul 8, 2011 5:10 AM

The simple way to do it is to use a PJC (java bean) + apache httpclient library..
If you have a webservice than you can use Axis library and wsdl2java to create java classes from wsdl.
also you can use httpclient library to simulate http protocol (request/response actions)..
(for example.. you have a credit card number.. you post this number to specified URL and then you parse the response from credit card validation server)..
Post here some documentation (specification) on how to call the credit card validation .. (maybe it's a secure webservice?)
Here you have a httpclient library documentation:
http://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-ga/tutorial/html/index.html
Also you can implement bean area in designer.. If you need help I can post here how we do it in our project..
also look here: Call webservice from PJC over https protocol

Encounter problem when running test.fmx in Oracle form 11g

I am new to Oracle form 11g and encounter a problem regarding testing the Form Services.
I have Oracle form 11g (deployment mode) on my app server. I opened 'Run a form on the web' and clicked 'Run form' to conduct a test with default values suggested by the screen. Then I got the below screen showing 'An add-on for the website failed to run'.
Is the problem in relation to IE setting? or is my set up of Oracle form 11g not OK?
