Trying to save an item name in a block so I can return to it.

Question

Hi
I'm working with Oracle 10g forms developer.
I'm trying to save the field I'm in so that after I press a button to do stuff and return. I go back to the field I was in.
I've tried assigning :system.cursor_item and :system.trigger_item to a variable in my sys block but I keep getting the error
FRM-41506: Cannot find Block: invalid ID. I'm doing this in the post-change trigger of the item I want to return to.
It seems to be objecting to the statement :sys.current_discounting_field := :system.trigger_item;.
Can anyone help please?

try this:
+{YOU WILL HAVE TO DO WHATEVER PROCESSING WHERE APPROPRIATE}+
DECLARE
v_currec NUMBER(4);
v_curfld VARCHAR2(50);
BEGIN
v_currec := :SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD;
v_curfld := :SYSTEM.CURRENT_VALUE;
COPY (:SYSTEM.CURSOR_RECORD, :p_block || '.' || :p_field);
GO_RECORD(v_currec);
GO_FIELD (v_curfld);
END;
