Please post a description of the table in the master and detail blocks. Is this field a database field? Is it part of one of these two tables? MORE DESCRIPTION PLEASE.

REFID (P.K) NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
VENDORID NUMBER(4)
TERMS VARCHAR2(100)
E_DATE DATE
SYS_DATE DATE

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Detail Table

REFNO (F.K) NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
REFID (F.K) NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
P_IN NUMBER
ITEM_CODE NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
ITEM_NAME VARCHAR2(100)
RATE NUMBER(8,4)
UOM VARCHAR2(100)

-----------------------------------------------------------------
above is a structure of a Master Detail Table.
Now In detail block I add a text Item for Serial Number(Not part of a dtaabase) and assign a value ":System.Coursor_record" It works fine when inserting new records in Detail Block.But when it comes to viewing record it don't work. The Serial Number field(Non Database Item) remains empty. Now I hope that u have got my question. Waiting 4 ur reply with full solution.

You say 'serial number'. Do you mean 'row number'? That is, the first line in the detail block has a '1', the second line has a '2', etc?

No you may NOT have my personal email address.

To populate a row number (crudely), create a non-database item in your block, create a Post-Query trigger which populates this field with the 'get_block_property' command 'current_record' property.

Just remember that if you intend to insert a record above an existing record, or delete an existing record, you will need to create a 'when-new-reocrd-instance' trigger which also populates this field and then write a loop in a procedure to traverse ALL the records so that their 'number' is reset. This procedure would be called from the 'insert' and 'delete' triggers.

I really wouldn't know whether this might work or not (David surely will!), but - here it is: if a detail block's source is a FROM clause (which would select all necessary columns from the detail table), one column might be created as RANK() OVER (...) which would (would it?) fetch that "serial number" of the record. SELECT operation might be OK; how about INSERTing new record or DELETing existing ones?

I can't try it myself - I don't have a database here - but *perhaps* this might be another option. To me, even if it is possible to accomplish, this approach seems to be more complicated that the one David already suggested.

Doh! Try putting 'rownum' as a column in your select. It will work.

David

Upd-mod: I tested it a bit. Yes it works but you need to do an 'execute_query' after an insert or delete to get the field to be updated (this seems the easiest way to me).
