Hi

I want if the user write for example in text box 'AM TK'
the query display the resualt which has am alone
tk alone, and that has both. I know that i should use the Like with % but i do not know how to write it in the set property.
I have wrote
set_block_property('Employee_Other',default_where,'Upper(name) like '''||UPPER(:key_search.person_name)||'''') ;

This will bring the resualt just if the user write am tk. How i can modify it to return value as i explained above. thanks

You'd first have to split that string (i.e. from "AM TK" create "AM" and "TK"), and then create a WHERE clause as

some_name like '%AM%' or 
some_name like '%TK%' or 
some_name like '%AM TK%'

set_block_property('Employee_Other',default_where,'Upper(name) like '''||'%'||UPPER(:key_search.person_name)||'%'||'''
or UPPER(office_name) Like '''||UPPER(:key_search.office_name)||''' or UPPER(other_types) like '''||UPPER(:key_search.other_type)||''' or UPPER(INFO_TEXT_En) like '''||UPPER(:key_search.information)||'''') ;

I have concatenate the % with the person name but it cause another problem it seems that the rest of line will be ignored.

Looking at your last message, it is quite different from the first one.

Anyway: why would you want to perform a query in such a complicated way? What's wrong with built-in Forms querying capabilities? Enter query mode, put any value(s) you want into items, you can even use variables (preceded with a colon sign, which will make it possible to do some quite complicated searches) and - execute query. What SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY? Why?

If that's the case, perhaps you could create a local variable (within the trigger) and put code that is supposed to act as a WHERE clause into that variable. Then display it (either in an item you'll create on the screen, or using the MESSAGE built-in). It might show why it isn't working as you'd like it to.
