Hello,

I have this problem :

In a block, when i insert a new record i have to check this record versus others records of the block. So i make a FIRST_RECORD;
LOOP
/*check*/
/*if ok nothing*/
/*if ko ask the user continue or cancel*/
/*continue will update the current record */
/*cancel will delete the newly inserted record */
NEXT_RECORD;
IF LAST_RECORD THEN EXIT; END IF;
END LOOP;

I have to make this action in the record level because i ask a action by the user on the record inserted.

But i can't use FIRST_RECORD; NEXT_RECORD; in any validate trigger. Is there an other way ?

Thanks

Such a validation questions have been asked many, many times. Please, search the board to see what has been said about the issue.

exact,

Many post about illegal commit in validate trigger. The solution is to create a timer. No problem.

But built-in of navigation as first_record, next_record... cannot be placed in a timer because timers are asynchronous. So my problem is a little bit different.

I'm afraid that you'll have to improve your search skills. Just wondering, which keywords did you use? My search returned 2 pages of more (or less) relevant topics.

I'm agree i'm not good at that. I made a search on "frm-40737 illegal restricted" results : 20 topics but no solution.

this topics deal with next_item; or commit; in validate trigger but no one about first_record; next_record; loop; (except mine)

Did you find relevant answer for my problem? what's your keywords ?

Oh, come on! Try to be more creative! This is a good practice! If these keywords weren't good enough, find new ones.

Why do you need this looping validation anyway? What do you want to validate? Think of a method which isn't trying to break the behaviour of Forms.

Hello,

I understand that it's not possible to do that in Forms, I'm trying to find an other solution.

I need to loop because i have read and check all records of the data block when i insert a new record. I can't check directly in the DB using SQL statement because some records are not commited.

Then you understand wrong. You should have searched this forum for 'looping' and 'validation' and 'dynamic record group'.

Use a dynamic record_group to hold a copy of the records as you retrieve and enter them and then do your validation search against the record_group.

Hello,

I know how to populate a record group but how to search against the record group ?

Thank

Hello,

Actually I'd make a loop on all my records in a KNI trigger.

Someone knows how to force forms to always execute the KEY-NEXT-ITEM code ?

Use the 'when-validate-item' trigger. It is the one that will fire everytime an item is changed.

Hello,

I have found a solution without looping or dynamic record group, i would like to thank you all for helping me and of course share the solution with you.

1) instead of using commit; or commit_form; i use post; the data entered in the form are visible in a DB without to be commited. In a when-validate-record i put a timer which do post; --> data of the form and data of the DB are always synchronized.

2) then to validate the data i use sql statement. it tells me if its ok or not.

3) instead of loop each record to find the one i need to change i make a update statement; and a clear_block execute_query to refresh the form.

4) The user commit the data himself.

Is it a good way to validate multi-line block without commit each record ?

Thank
