I have created one form with control block and database data block.here i have created one save button based on that i have to save records both control and database block in database block table.If i i write commit_form record will be saved on different rows in a table means control block record in one row and datablock record in one row.But i want to update in one row(one line) in a table.
this is my coding on save button. this is working fine but only once. when i enter the data second time and try to save, it didn't do anything. what should i do?
I have a master-detail form on which i have 2 buttons. save button and another location button in detail.on location button i am calling a form and updating location of the material entered in detail(tabular).
The thing is my form should not get save without updating location for each record entered in detail(tabular).if user try to save form without updating or pressing location button it should give message PLEASE UPDATE YOUR LOCATION.
which is the trigger that fires when we Press the Standard 'Save' button from the toolbar? And i want to update the record on another table which is not in data block by using this save button? @ that time i want to display message like transaction complete:1 records saved..how to do this?
I have created a form using data block wizard and lay out wizard. I want to disable the SAVE button, I gave the following in Triggers WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
set_item_property('SAVE',visible,property_false);
but when I run the form it displays this message at the bottom of the screen
I have one form where I have let's say 2 items that I want to manage. One is a List Item and the other Text Item. Both are based on one table. The List Item is not updatable (Update Allowed is set to NO) and there I have some types of houses for example (T -> tall house, B -> Big house, S -> Small house it's not important so much) and the Text Item is for counting the types for example we have 4 houses of type T and if we add another one in the textItem we will see 5, so it's not counter for all houses but it counts types of houses and that item is not updatable nor insertable (Update allowed and Insert allowed are set to NO) so it's only purpose is just to show how many hauses we have of particular type and automatically increases the number if we insert new house. Beside this two items I have another Items that conatin some informations about the house (How many flats, doors, windows, and so on..). you've got the picture of my form and table.
Now I want to add one button with trigger WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED that will do this. If I want to change the type of the house after I inserted it and save it in the table, I have to just change the type in the List Item (choose another type) and press the button to save the same house with the same properties I would say (How many flats, doors, windows, and so on..) but with another type. First when I press the button it must ask me if I am sure that I want to make that change (I'll make an allert fot that) and if I press OK or Yes my house will be saved just with the different type and the previous house with the previous type must be erased. And in the textItem 'the counter', the number of the new type must encrease for one and the previous type must decrease for one.
I hope you understand what I want to do and all I need is that trigger to manage this problem of mine. I know it's possible to do but I am quite new in DB programming and I am not very good with programming in PL/SQL.
i have field in DB that taken ( 1 or 2 or 3 ) am added it as text item at first and then change it to ( radio group ) contain 3 radio as :
value for first 1 = 1 , = 2 , = 3 and mapping = 1 initial value for the group = 1
but when am working with the form and commit form there is no data add in this field when am change the radio value by click on any other on ( 2 or 3 ) it's saved no problem in it ..
why this thing happen coz i need to set the first radio as default for the form .
I HAVE 2 BLOCKS E.G. MASTER-DETAIL AND i have created it manually then how to insert values thrugh these blocks using a button called "save" using "commit_form;" suppose form fields are
master-block: emp_id emp name age detail block: address city where emp_id is primary key as well foreign key in detail table
I am working on Oracle forms 6i. I am getting a problem when I am trying to save the value in the form.
Well the scenario is like this:
I have got a multi record block. In that block there are two items jobno and inoivce no. Both the items have an LOV attached to them giving jobnos and invoice nos respectively.
This is on the '*ORIGINAL_BLOCK*'.
The problem perists with the jobno field. In the LOV for jobno, the 'column mapping properties' property, the return item section has original_block.jobno as the value. The code to fetch the details about the jobno (like vendor no,vendor site,invoice no etc) has been written on the When-Validate-Item trigger. I am also updating the WHO colums(like created by,created date,last upated by, last update date) on the Pre-Insert trigger at the block level. This whole thing of fetching the records is working fine. But when I simply press the save button an extra blank line gets generated on the form as well as at back end with jobno like this:
A same jobno can have multiple number of invoices. So the lines getting generated are - number of lines + 1(unrequired entry).As in the above scenario there are only 2 invoices for the same job and a third unrequired entry getting generated. If there are 3 invoices I get 4 lines (3 required + 1 unrequired blank entry).
So to solve this issue I added a button 'Add JOB'. I took another '*NEW_BLOCK*',designed another canvas and and added an item on it containing a dummy jobno field and attached an LOV to that item. Then the same When-Validate-Trigger to that item fetching the details. so when I press the button 'Add JOB' using show_canvas and go_item(dummy_job_item) I navigate to that new canvas, select the jobno there from LOV, fetch the details. Now I wrote execute_query on KEY-EXIT of the NEW_BLOCK so that whatever are the fetched details, they would go on the ORIGINAL_BLOCK.jobno and respective details in resp fields. But this did not work.So I wrote execute_query on the When-New-Block-Instance of the ORIGINAL_BLOCK and it worked.
But now what is happening is when I open the form once again after closing the form, all the back end data is appearing on the form i.e. when I open a new form session every time. But I want the form to be clear with no entries displayed whenever I open the form. I understand the question is lengthy and tricky.
i design one master detail block and one command button for saving the data....as i click on save button data get saved and after that if i want to close form then at this time it again asking me for save changes window..
I have created a region Q_INFO and in the region i have added HTML text area. This text area is editable for only few users. If the user types in the text area and presses save button. The text is stored in the table INFO. And this text is displayed to all other users. But when i enter any data in the text area with multiple new lines and press SAVE button. The text is displayed in single line. I want to maintain new line and paragraph in the text area.
I have created a form which as two block as master and detail.I am facing two problem in my detail block.
First: When I populate records in detail block, it prompt a message 'Do you want to save record ?'. Second : When I alter any value in detail block and move to next record, it prompt a message 'Do you want to save record ?'
Is there any way where, system don't prompt me a message for saving record and user can continue with changes and save the records when he desire.
I have a block based on a table and display a few records on the form after retrieving records from the table behind. Now I should be able to edit a record or add a new record to the existing records on the screen. So when i click the save button I only want the rows which are new or have been edited to go back into the db. This is the piece of code I was using for the save button in the on-button-clicked action.
IF alert_button=alert_button1 THEN GO_BLOCK('my_block'); IF NOT Form_Success THEN RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure; END IF; /* ** Commit if anything is changed */ IF :System.record_Status IN ('CHANGED','NEW') THEN Commit_Form; END IF; msg_info('Your changes have been saved.'); END IF;
When I do this all the records on the screen gets inserted into the table instead of only the one's I have edited or newly inserted. I only want to insert rows which are new or edited into the table after I click the save button.
I have seen many times that people are confused for how to save and retrieve images in Oracle Database from forms. Here I have created a sample form. All the coding is there. And also required scripts are also written in this post. Please download the form create the scripts and run the form.
Here we go: Database : 9i Forms : 6i Create Scripts:
I have a multi tab form. When I open any form; the form no. and form lists are automatically uploaded. I can enter the rest of the data and save the form. The problem is; if I try to open another tab(form), system did not allow it and ask to enter data in the already open form fields. I can only save the form, which I open first.
1. what is the good way (best solution) to store file means into Database or folder on sever. 2. In either case how can we do it means i need in detail on both sides (means on form side and also on database side). 3. Every file related to a record and may contain 1 or more then 1 files and maybe update files for one record many time and we must keep track of each update.
i have two tables emp data emp course emp data the primary key is emp_no and another table emp course emp_no is foreign key and desgin master block and desgin details block master block programmed list of value to show the employee and make it database item = no details block show all data i want only save in the details block only how can make it
1) at the click of button, some data will be written to XML file and after writting to file, it should get saved to some location on local machine(c: emp), without asking user, where to save.
How to do this in oracle form?
Also is it possible to read file from local machine?
