Validate from list (Oracle Forms)

Hi all,
Does anybody know, how to simulate "Validate from List" functionality from the oracle forms with JDeveloper 10.1.3.
The case is for example (Empl, Dept), I want to create a table for the empl showing the empl info plus department name and allow the user assign the empl to a given department using only the name and not the department id.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
there is no list validator like this I am aware of.

Forms 6i: Dynamically set Validate from List property

Hi,
Is there any API to set the VALIDATE FROM LIST property for an item with an LOV in Forms 6i?

you can use set_item_property to do that dynamically. Look in the help for the values of the built-in

Show the print dialog when running a report from an Oracle form.

I would like to be able to print an Oracle report from an Oracle form but
in addition show the print dialog. My PL/SQL code is shown at the bottom of this post.
I have set the 'printjob' system parameter to 'YES' in the
report and I can bring up a print dialog using the reports runtime.
However, as soon as I run it from my form I lose this capability. Setting
'printjob' to 'YES' in the code has no apparent effect.
Many thanks,
Ben

Validate from list problem

I have a form in which i have a non-database item.I attached a LOV to it and have set the validate from list to yes..
but in enter-query mode the list is not getting shown when the value is typed(ie the lov is not shown when the user enters wrong value.validation is not hapenning)
i have even written key-listval.inside which i have given list_values still the LOV is not shown
Any suggestions to get the LOV???

Hi,
You can try to use the when validate-item trigger, which executes when the cursor navigates out of an item, this happens when user press the tab key to navigate to the next item or when clicking in a different item.
Validate from LOV works without any additional code when the form is in normal mode.
When the form is in enter-query mode this won't work, try the key-next-item trigger instead.
check out the forms online help section:
"About defining triggers to fire in Enter Query mode" for more info.

Validate from list behavior ? help needed

Hi,
I have an item whith a lov attached to and the proerty of the lov is validate from list = yes.
But when a create a record and type the begining of the words eg Jean then when i do key-list-val or F9 the lov returns me all the rows and.
And when i press enter in the field then the lov shows with Jean% and show me only the names beginning with Jean.
Why does it only happen when i press enter and not when doing F9?
Should it not be the same behavior ?
Thanks in advance.
PS: it is quite urgent !
Jean-Yves

Hi ,
When you enters a wrong value into a "Validate from List" Item and hit <ENTER> then validation to make sure that the entered value exists within the List and if it is not there , then the forms engine filters the Shows values as the value entered into the Item as helping you to select from the List cause you have entered ambigious Choise and in case no matched entries it display all the list , but in case you display the LOV normally this means you are trying to select a value then no Pre Serach happened unless you specify (Filter Before Display = true) on the LOV properties ,
Best Regards,

Validate from List Property

i created a form and used validate from list property to TRUE for a particluar item which have LOV.But when table hav too many rows (here i hav 18000 rows) getting too slow....Is this problem is common...? If any one hve any idea about this Please help me...
Edited by: pms on Sep 11, 2011 10:31 PM

But when table hav too many rows (here i hav 18000 rows) getting too slow....Is this problem is common...? Yes, this is common when you have a lot of rows returned by your LOV query. In situations like this, it is best to try and reduce the size of the data returned by your LOV. One way of doing this is to enable the Filter Before Display property on the LOV. When enabled, it causes Forms to display a query criteria dialog before displaying the LOV. This too can cause slowness because this option could cause a full table scan to occur. Perhaps a better option would be to make your LOV dependent on other limiting values. For example, if your Form showed a list of all employees in a company you could make your user select limiting data like a department number to help reduce the number of employee records returned by your LOV.

LOV validate from list

Hello there,
What factors can be performed for don't validating from list, when having a text item conected by a botton which calls the LOV?
My problem is that I conect properly the text item to the LOV and the LOV to the Record group. At the text item's properties palette, i put YES when asking if validate from list. However, in an enter-query mode, when i insert 'AAA' into the text item, and change the focus, the LOV doesn't appear.
Why?
Thanks to everyone who helps me.
Sorry for my english, i am spanish.

Those other forms use a different form of querying. They probably never go into Enter Query mode, and instead simply query with a where clause something like:
WHERE column_1 = :control_block.item_1 and...
All the forms I write use that format. The user is never allowed to do an Enter Query. They simply enter the control block values (which may or may not have an LOV attached), and then press the Query button.

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file.

From an Oracle form, I want to read a text file. In the form on a button press I have:
declare
in_file Text_IO.File_Type;
linebuf VARCHAR2(1800);
filename VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
filename:=GET_FILE_NAME('U:\ora_devl\pps\work\a.txt', File_Filter=>'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|');
in_file := Text_IO.Fopen(filename, 'r');
LOOP
Text_IO.Get_Line(in_file, linebuf);
-- :text_item5:=:text_item5||linebuf||chr(10);
Text_IO.New_Line;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN no_data_found THEN
Text_IO.Put_Line('Closing the file...');
Text_IO.Fclose(in_file);
END;
It gets an ORA-302000. I suspect the problem starts with the GET_FILE_NAME because when I comment out everything but that, It processes endlessly never ending.

What can you tell me? Thanks

GET_FILE_NAME will try to open an "Open File" dialog on the server, which obviously can't happen. If you want to use that type of behavior you need to use WebUtil and the function CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME. Example:
filename := CLIENT_GET_FILE_NAME('C:\', File_Filter=> 'Text Files (*.txt)|*.txt|All Files (*.*)|*.*|', dialog_type=> OPEN_FILE);Refer to the Builder Online help for more details. You can also refer to the demo which is available here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/downloads/index.html
More information here:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/webutil-090641.html
Also, it appears that you are attempting to use a mapped drive ("U"). Although this can be made to work, it is not recommended and in some cases will not be supported. If you need access to remote files, you should use some other mechanism to bring the file to the local machine before manipulating it.

Procedure runs in SQL Plus, but not when called from my Oracle Form

Hi. I have this code to send an email alert as the user updates a record on my base table from my Oracle Form. I use dbms_scheduler so that it's submitted as a background job and so the email processing does not delay my Oracle Form from saving quickly. If I submit this code in SQL Plus it executes and I receive the email as expected.
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify (62547, ''01-SEP-11'', ''02-SEP-11''); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end;However if I submit this code from a Post-Update trigger in my form the code runs without error, but my email is never received (the same parameter values would be passed to this trigger):
begin
-- Submit the email notification in the background so as to not slow down the screen while saving.
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationConflict_Notify (:dropper_vacations.dropper_id, :dropper_vacations.begin_dt, :dropper_vacations.end_dt); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end; Any ideas why this might be happening?

Wow, so I changed the two procedures so that I'm only passing in one number parameter and one char parameter...
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify (p_dropper_id number, p_other char) IS
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TTMS.dropperVacationEmailURL_new (in_dropper_id number, in_other char) ISIf I execute it like this it works and I get the email:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, 99999);or like this it works and I get the email:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, '99999');But if I execute it like this (I get no errors) the email is not sent:
TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify(62547, 'ababa');So this problem really has nothing to do with date formats. It seems to have to do with whether parameter two has characters in it!!! What the heck.
Any ideas on this?
Here is the procedure I'm calling:
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure TTMS.job_vacationconflict_notify (p_dropper_id number, p_other char) IS
begin
dbms_scheduler.create_job (
 job_name => 'IMMEDIATE_JOB',
 job_type => 'PLSQL_BLOCK',
 job_action => 'begin TTMS.dropperVacationemailurl_new ('||p_dropper_id||','||p_other||'); end;',
 number_of_arguments => 0,
 start_date => sysdate +1/24/59, -- sysdate + 1 minute
 enabled => TRUE,
 auto_drop => TRUE,
 comments => 'Immediate, one-time run');
end;

Printing formatted text from an Oracle form

I'm trying to print formatted text from an Oracle form without using the standard menu print. The print button on the menu prints out the text and the actual form. I just want to print the text that is displayed on the form. I would like to add a print button to the form. Is there a print function or event in PL/SQL?
Thanks in advance for any help!!
Jason

If you are interested in the content of the field you can loop over them (next_item built in) and write their content into a file using the TEXT_IO built in.
for nicer outputs check out Oracle Reports on OTN.

Validate from list

Hello everybody !!
I've a Lov attached to text-item with validate from list property "yes". I fill the text-item who has the lov attached and lov works very well , but when I create another record the trigger "when-validate-record" fires and the lov validate once again for the same record. How can I avoid this ?
Hugs
Rômulo

You probably set the name of the country in the POST-QUERY trigger. If so, set the status of the trigger record to QUERY_STATUS after doing this.
