hi

i am using oracle forms and in my program i need to filter the data that is displayed on the tabular form. i used SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(BLOCK NAME,PROPERTY,VALUE) to filter the data and i used a button to control the filtering. i also used the trigger - when-button-pressed. But after i pressed the butoon a dialog box appears on the screen asking me if i wan to save the chages.
- if i pressed the Yes button the right query appears then
another dialog box appears on the screen telling me that
transaction complete: 1 records applied and saved.
then there is an OK button. when you pressed it.
wrong query displays on the screen or all the data
is displayed
- if i pressed the No button the right query apppears.

the problem here is i want to remove the dialog box when i pressed the button and automatically display the right output or data. i would like to ask some help about my problem. here are the codes i used in this program.

begin

if :status_item1 is null then
if :month_item1 is null then
if :year_item1 is null then

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',default_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and (substr(SYS_DATE,8,2)= substr(SYSDATE,8,2) and substr(sys_date,4,3)=substr(sysdate,4,3))');

go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;
else

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',default_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,8,2)= NVL(:YEAR_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,8,2)) and (substr(sys_date,4,3)=substr(sysdate,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;
end if;
else
if :year_item1 is null then

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',default_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and (substr(SYS_DATE,8,2)= substr(SYSDATE,8,2) AND SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,4,3)= NVL(:MONTH_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
Execute_query;
else

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',default_where,'ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT and SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,8,2)= NVL(:YEAR_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,8,2)) AND SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,4,3)= NVL(:MONTH_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;

end if;
end if;

else
if :month_item1 is null then
if :year_item1 is null then

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',DEFAULT_WHERE,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and STATUS =NVL(:STATUS_ITEM1,status) and (substr(SYS_DATE,8,2)= substr(SYSDATE,8,2) and substr(sys_date,4,3)=substr(sysdate,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;

else

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',default_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and STATUS =NVL(:STATUS_ITEM1,status) and SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,8,2)= NVL(:YEAR_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,8,2)) and (substr(sys_date,4,3)=substr(sysdate,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;

end if;

if :year_item1 is null then

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',onetime_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and STATUS =NVL(:STATUS_ITEM1,status) and (substr(SYS_DATE,8,2)= substr(SYSDATE,8,2) AND SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,4,3)= NVL(:MONTH_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,4,3)) and substr(sys_date,4,3)=substr(sysdate,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;

Else

SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('FLT_ISP',onetime_where,'(ENTERED_BY=:GLOBAL.ID_NUMBER OR IMP_DEPT= :GLOBAL.DEPARTMENT) and STATUS =NVL(:STATUS_ITEM1,status) and SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,8,2)= NVL(:YEAR_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,8,2)) AND SUBSTR(SYS_DATE,4,3)= NVL(:MONTH_ITEM1,SUBSTR(SYSDATE,4,3))');
go_block('FLT_ISP');
execute_query;

Why don't you use default Forms querying mechanism? You know, if you press Enter_query and Execute_query, you'll get all records. If you press Enter_query, enter searching criteria and then Execute_query, you'll get records that satisfy the criteria.

I'd try to keep it ass simple as possible; too much coding (sometimes / often) leads to too much problems.

Why don't you use 'nvl' against the various 'search' items in the default 'default_where'.

hi


thanks for the reply... i tried it.. but it appears it's not what expected to appear.

what am i asking is, how could i change the block property by another block property automatically (without any confirmation to the user)by using SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK NAME',DEFAULT_WHERE, 'QUERY')

The message "Do you want to save the changes you have made?" means that you have changed the text in an item which is mapped to a database column.

Either DON'T map the item to a database column or make sure that you are in 'enter_query' mode before entering the search data.
