Hi,

I am new to the Oracle Forms.
I need a Master Detail oracle form for Oracle EBS.
The form should use only one table.
I need the form should look like User Form in EBS.
I created 2 data blocks and designed. When I run the form and key in some data, I notice multiple records stored.

like

Empno   Ename   Sal   Comm 
101     null    null  null
null    John    2300   500

Empno is in Master Block.
And remaining are in Detail block.

Anybody suggest me how to remove the duplicate records so that my required output should be like

Empno   Ename   Sal   Comm 
101     John    2300   500

If there is another way suggest me ...

How can you have a master detail with only one table?
In any event, you cannot have a master detail without a linking column, of which you have none based on the 2 rows that you show.

Thanks for the reply.

Let me explain you.
Ex:-
I have a table with 4 columns.

Type    column1     column2     column3

Actually my requirement is the form should look like

Type   _______

Column1      Column2       Column3
_______      _______       _______
_______      _______       _______
_______      _______       _______
_______      _______       _______

So, thats why I told that the form should look like Oracle User Form.
Here I used 2 data blocks its because of to repeat the three columns 4 times.
Any alternative for this?

Create a view that presents the data in the correct format then base the block on that

Any alternative for this?

One multi-record block and set the number of items displayed property of TYPE to 1.
You will then have to find a way to populate TYPE for all additional records. There are many trivial ways to do that.
