Hi All,

Usually, in a form with a database block, you use execute_query to fill the form items with data.
If I want to use a control block instead, how do I query the table I want to fetch data from?

If possible please provide me sample code.

Thanks in advanced.

[EDITED by LF: fixed topic title typo; was "ow" instead of "How"]

You'll have to do it manually. Usual way is to create a cursor FOR loop which fetches data and populates block items. Don't forget to navigate to next record before running another LOOP round because you'll keep overwriting the first record's values.

As of sample code, search the board.

DECLARE
	CURSOR c_emp IS
	SELECT empno FROM emp;
BEGIN	
	GO_BLOCK('YOUR_CONTROL_BLOCK');
	FIRST_RECORD;
	OPEN c_emp;
	LOOP
		FETCH c_emp INTO :CONTROL.your_item;
		EXIT WHEN c_emp%NOTFOUND;
		next_record;
	END LOOP;
	CLOSE c_emp;
END;

If you could give the action when you want to query i would suggest you the trigger where you have to write the code.
