When using function in forms what priveledge should a schema have ? in DB

Question

when calling a database level function in oracle forms what permission should i grant to schema in database level ?
con it's given error during compilation that object must be declare...........
e.g
total_record:=total_record+1;
SELECT
HR.fn_get_finished_opening_stock(V_PRODUCTCODE,V_TRANSDATE,:GLOBAL.COMPANYID) INTO OPENINGSTOCK FROM DUAL;
what system level permission

Answer 1

what system level permission The user logged into Oracle Forms must have the execute privilege on the function being called. You can either GRANT EXECUTE on the FUNCTION to public (not the best option) or you have to grant execute to each user of the application (more work, but the Oracle recommended option).
As you are calling your function in a PL/SQL block in your Form, there is no need to do this in a query, just simply assign the return value of the function to the variable directly. For example:
DECLARE
   OpeningStock    NUMBER;
BEGIN
   OpeningStock := HR.FN_GET_FINISHED_OPENING_STOCK(v_productcode, v_tansdate, :GLOBAL.CompanyID);
END;Also, just looking at your code sample, it suggests that you are working with the Oracle Enterprise Business Suite (EBS). If this is true, then your application user is the APPS user. The APPS should have privilges too all EBS related objects in the database.
Hope this helps,
