Dear friends
   I have this message FRM-41067 cannot find menu item invalid ID
   And I have coded this code under MENU STARUP CODE
DECLARE
  VAR_MENU  VARCHAR2(40);
  VAR_P VARCHAR2(40);
  VAR_ENABLE VARCHAR2(1);
  VAR_LOC VARCHAR2(40);
BEGIN 
       :GLOBAL.USER_NAME := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME); 
       SELECT M_ENABLE,LTRIM(RTRIM(NAME)),LTRIM(RTRIM(SUB_NAME))
           INTO VAR_ENABLE,VAR_MENU,VAR_P
         FROM MEN_TABLE
         WHERE USER_NAME=:GLOBAL.USER_NAME;
  
 IF   VAR_ENABLE = 'X' THEN      
             SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY('VAR_MENU.VAR_P',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE); 
    
ELSE
             SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY('VAR_MENU.VAR_P',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE); 
END IF;
END;

How can I solve the above problem 
And I want to use cursor for selecting the menu option from MEN_TABLE  and how can I do that with example

Waiting for  your valuable answer
Best Regards
Jamil

first use find_menu_item to check the menu item is exists or not.

other wise u can use menu security instead of writing ur own code.

create roles and grant them to specified users.
1. in menu module property palette -- use security --yes
modulrs roles -- database role names

2. in menu item property palette -- item roles -- choose the role.

Hi,
Other than what Vamsi has told you remove single quotes form the menu name & rewrite the code as follows:

IF VAR_ENABLE = 'X' THEN
SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY(VAR_MENU||'.'||VAR_P,ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);

ELSE
SET_MENU_ITEM_PROPERTY(VAR_MENU||'.'||VAR_P,ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
END IF;

Actually what is happening that due to single quotes the system thinks that you wnat to enable or disable a Menu item which has a name VAR_MENU.VAR_P which are actually your variables.

So just rewrite your code as explained above.

It will work.

HTH

Himanshu

Dear Himanshu

Thank you very much for your help it works fine but can you help me how to do it with the cursor option because this one only for a single record, and also my main problem with this statement
:GLOBAL.USER_NAME := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME); because I am using this code in the Menu Startup Code , so I want to get variable :GLOBAL.USER_NAME can you give me an example how to do it with the cursor and where to code this statement
:GLOBAL.USER_NAME := Get_Application_Property(USERNAME);

Waiting for your valuable answer

Best regards

Jamil

mfahimaamirgmailcom,

you shouldn't name local variables using the same name as parameters to built-in functions. The way you put it, it was as if you wrote GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(NULL) and that's invalid. Try something like

declare
  l_username varchar2(40);
begin
  l_username := get_application_property(username);

  -- the rest of your code goes here
end;
