Need help while inserting record in forms [message #606133]

Hi,
In my form I am having a Id column.
In form there are two blocks. each block is based on a table. And in both the table Id column is the key
The first block contain a button, so on pressing a button in first block it will open the second block.
My concern is that, after filling all the record in first block and on pressing the button it will open second block so on inserting the value in second block the value of Id column should get inserted automatically from the first block.

Any suggestion i highly appreciated

Thanks

Create a master-detail form, using Data Block Wizard. It will set everything up for you, you don't have to do anything.

Or, if you insist on your own solution, see what second block's ID item "Copy value from item" property does. Or, do that manually (try WHEN-CREATE-RECORD or WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE (test whether ID is null before (re)setting it!) or WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE or, possibly, some other trigger). on the second block).

Really? Then why did you say this:

In form there are two blocks. each block is based on a table.

If you want any useful help then you need to accurately describe your problem.
How many blocks do you really have?
What is the relationship between them?
What precisely do you want to happen when you press on the button?

At the moment I have no idea what you're trying to do.

Sorry for the miss communication.

I am having two window.
In one window there is three block(A1,A2,A3) all three are based on a single table suppose employee table(empid is the primary key)
Another window contains one block(B) based on a table suppose person table(here empid is the foreign key)
on inserting in block B(i.e. second window) i want that empid to be inserted automayically.
I hope this will help you.

Thanks

on pressing the button it will open another block(B).

OK then, put

:b.empid := :a1.empid;

into the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger (of course, you'll have 3 buttons with 3 triggers so you'll change a1 -> a2 -> a3, depending on a block.

Hi Littlefoot,

I tried your suggestion but still i can't able to insert the empid in the person table(in BLOCK B)
Below is my when-button-pressed trigger code:-

DECLARE
v_WHERE VARCHAR2(1000);

BEGIN
v_WHERE := 'empid in (select empid from person where empid = '''||:a1.empid||''' and ......other conditions........)';
Set_Block_Property('B', ONETIME_WHERE,v_WHERE);
Go_block('B');
Execute_Query();
:B.empid := :a1.empid;

END;

On inserting record in B block I am getting error that empid cannot be null.
As i mentioned earlier empid is the foreign key and a not null column.

That doesn't make sense. First you execute a query which says "fill block B with records from the PERSON table where EMPID = :A1.EMPID". Then you say ":B.EMPID = :A1.EMPID". But, you already have those records so - why do you do that?

There are three condition why I need empid.
1) suppose block A1 is having record and i need to insert a record in person table using block B.
2) I need to insert a new record in employee table so i will go to A1 block and insert, so on inserting new record empid is generated through a sequence, and then i want to insert a record in block B1, for this i need a empid value.
3) Block A1 and block B contain data, but i need to insert one more row in block B(as block B is a tabular block), that time i need empid.

there are three level, so according to the three level customer want the record in three blocks.
Thats why we need to create three block.
All the level of record is stored in a single level that's y all the three block is based on single table.
I hope this information will help you.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what "three levels" mean. 3 levels of employees? Why do you need 3 blocks? Why not one block with two items: one defining level, another being the EMPID?

I re-read 3 conditions you mentioned in a message #606155 and I still think that

:B.EMPID = :A1.EMPID;

*should* work. Whatever you do, :Ax.EMPID (x being 1, 2 or 3) must have a value before you navigate to block B. Therefore, it is just a matter of IF-THEN-ELSE to decipher which "Ax" will be used to provide a value for B.EMPID.

As LF says your answer doesn't really help us understand why there are three blocks. What are the differences between the levels?
Because the simplest solution is to have 1 a block instead of 3.

Failing that try the following.
1) Create another datablock as a control block and give it an item empid, the item doesn't need to go on a canvas.
2) In each of the three buttons write code to assign :control.empid to :a<whichever>.empid
3) in the pre-insert trigger of b block assign :b.empid to :control.empid
