Hi,
Why the cursor for loop returns all(14) records (in form in the find button)? It is worked fine in the TOAD& SQL*PLUS

BEGIN
    FOR e_cursor  IN ( SELECT ename  FROM emp where deptno=10 ) LOOP
      dbms_output.put_line( e_cursor.ename );
    END LOOP;
    --EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;
output
------
KING
CLARK
MILLER

Thank You

This code won't do anything in Forms. You should post a query you used in Forms; how is anyone supposed to debug invisible code?

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE does nothing in Forms.

EXECUTE_QUERY, unrestricted, fetches all records from the base table (i.e. all 14 employees).

@mist598 - you really really need to spend some time reading the form builder help topics on querying.
Read the topic on execute_query and all the related topics (there's links in that topic)
Read the topic on enter_query and query mode and pre-query.
Read the topics on onetime_where and default_where

You've been working with forms for at least a year, you really should know by now that that cursor loop you've written has zero effect on what execute_query does.
