Dear All,
I have a form in which the fields are not database items i want to display the next record, i know i can use the next_record for the same but it does not work since it is not the database item, is there any way when the item is not the database item and i can see the next record. I use the cursor for loop but since it fecthes all the records in one go it cannot display one record at the time in the form..
Many thanks in advance

I wouldn't use a cursor for loop to populate a block personally. Make it a database block and base it on a view.

Honestly, I don't understand what you are asking.
Unless I'm wrong, NEXT_RECORD doesn't care about whether it is a block based on a table or a control block. Though, as it is a restricted procedure, it can't be used anywhere you'd want it to. What trigger contains NEXT_RECORD?
What does "display one record at a time" mean? If that block displays only one record, you'll see one record at a time. If you'd like FOR loop to display record by record, put an alert in there which will force users to click when they are ready to see the next record.
Finally, what problem are you trying to solve?
