Hi friends,

I have posted one query here,

I required some control items to insert data at run time. please find my attached form below. After i entered number in textbox i need the control items will be created at specified block.Control items.

My request is How to enter data into these items and will be save in Database.

for Ex:

if i entered 8 into Textbox means , 8 records will be created .

Can i use CREATE_RECORD here ?

please write your solution.

Thanks

Gurus

You can create any number of records; they just can't be empty. Otherwise, you'd get "FRM-40102: Record must be entered or deleted first" error.

Yes. Use Oracle Forms as it was designed to be used. Base your block on a table, define the block as showing 8 records, put the information into the items and when you exit the form or press the save button they will be stored in the database.

As it is written, no - it won't work. Too many errors. But, its principle seems to be OK - it would create a few records. Why didn't you try it, anyway?

Hi djmartin,

I followed your links but till, i could not able to get my solution.

once again am saying my requirement.

I have One text box.It allows Number as Input.
When i entered number into this Text box, the number of items to be displayed in my block at run time. then i need enter data into those items and save into DB.

Eg : Entered 20

so 20 text box items to be displayed in block.

Thanks

Gurus

This is how I understood your question: at the moment you start the form, there is only a "number of records" control item and a button which, once it is pushed, should create as many records as the number in the "number of records" item contains.

If that's so, well, you probably do not want to do that. It *might* be possible, but causes too many pain to maintain such a design and, simply, isn't worth it. I'd suggest you to create a multi-record block with as many records as you wish and then let Forms deal with the rest of the functionality.

However, if you badly need to use such a design, you should probably choose another tool (and not Oracle Forms).

As LF as said, this is NOT how Oracle Forms was designed to work. Either use the default behaviour or use a different tool.
