Hi
when the user presses a button, records are retrieved from the database and put into multi record item. User can change the data that is retrieved from the database by pushing update button.I tried this code inside update button but it isnt working...
Begin
go_block('PRODUCTS');
first_record;
LOOP
update products
set PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID=:PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID
where PRODUCTS.PRODUCT_ID=:CUSTOMER.CUSTOMER_ID;
exit when :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
next_record;
END LOOP;
forms_ddl('commit');
clear_block(no_validate);
End;

One thing you need to understand about the basics of a block:
If it is a block based on a database table you do not need an external INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statements from a button or anything.
Users can change the data retrieved from the database and just press save (which includes only commit_form built in).
