Hi All,
i am giving the Input as Dept Name(DNAME) in Department Table(DEPT). Based on the Input DNAME it needs to query the employee details and also display the Department Name for every record.

I had write procedure (TEST_EMP_DEPT) in attached file. Please check and suggest me where i went wrong in the code.

PS:- I am createing a deptname in DEPTNO field. changed the properties.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Why wouldn't you (instead of a complicated scenario) use a simple, default master-detail relationship?

Follow Data Block Wizard; create DEPT as a master, EMP as a detail. Join these blocks on DEPTNO column. Forms will do the rest.

Compile and run the form.

In other words, perhaps you should first learn how to make it work, and then - if necessary - make it fancy.

yes littlefoot, Master-Detail Relation is very simple, But my scenario is difeerent below.

Issue:
1) The Query field is Department Name(DNAME)- when query the Department Name, internally it needs to check the dept no then the Department Number(DEPT NO) Details wanted to display in the EMP Details Block.
2) Also wants to display the Department Name(DNAME) instead of displaying the Department Number(DEPTNO) in EMP Detail block.

Note: The EMP BLock is a Records Based Format(5 records need to show at the same time with scroll bar).

The above 2 issues should be cover. so i used that scenario.

if create a Master - Detail Relation how could we do those?

Also i have some other query fields like employee no(empno) also there to display the same EMP Detail Block Details.

Please check the scenario and know me how to do that.

Thanks,
kumar

Use the master-detail facility supplied by Forms as recommended by Littlefoot. Then use 'post-query' to populate non-database fields with the 'expansion' of the stored information. That is, 'emp' stores the 'dept_no', but you can have a non-database field 'emp_blk.ndb_dept_name' which you populate in the 'post-query' trigger on the 'emp' blocks via a 'select' statement based on 'dept' using ':emp_blk.dept_no'.

Look at the 'master-detail' tutorial pointed to from the Oracle Forms website. Also search this forum for 'master detail'.
