Hi all,
how can I realize the following
v_cur_item := get_block_property(p_block_name,FIRST_ITEM);
WHILE v_cur_item IS NOT NULL
LOOP
DEFAULT_VALUE('*','global.'||v_cur_item||'''');
IF NOT :Global.v_cur_item = '*' THEN
....
The prob is GLOBAL.v_cur_item in which v_cur_item should be substituted on runtime to the itemname!
the unix/perl....-equivalent is
{varname}
thanx in advance
joe

Instead of
IF NOT :Global.v_cur_item = '*' THEN
Try this:
IF NOT name_in('Global.'||v_cur_item||'''') = '*' THEN
