you can use:

IF ssn = 'ssn' THEN
 Set_Item_Property('BLOCK_NAME.item_name', FORMAT_MASK, 'your_format_mask');
ELSIF ssn = 'ein' THEN
 Set_Item_Property('BLOCK_NAME.item_name', FORMAT_MASK, 'your_format_mask');
END IF;

Hi,
This is not the way. I did it all. But it is not working. Since the "The number of Records Displayed = 3 " in Block Property. Hence when I use the set_Format_Mask,It is setting only for the first Record(or SSN) it is not setting Individually.
So hope Some body will me help me.
Thx
Venkat

Use a character text item instead of a numeric text item and do a to_char with the desired format into it in the Post-Query trigger.

Hi,
I still have problems with Format_Mask. I solved the 3 ssn porblem. Then again I have another problem with data input in SSN filed. When a user put a value like 111-11-1111/111111111 and queries, the form working fine and querying the data. But when user puts data in like 11-111111 format and queries, I am getting "FRM-40356 Invalid Number in example record.Query not issused." The format in ssn filed on property pallette is 099"-"99"-"9999.
Waiting for the answer.

You PMed me with

Quote:

Hi,
Thx for your resonose. I created D_SSN field for SSN field and made it Character field. The SSN field is Number field. I made D_SSN as visible in Canvas and SSN as Non_visisble.
Then I created Post-Query Trigg as follows:
D_SSN := SSN;
If Tin_tag ='E' Then
D_SSN := substr(SSN,1,2)||'-'||substr(SSN,3,7);
Else
D_SSN := substr(SSN,1,3)||'-'||substr(SSN,4,2)||'-'||
substr(SSN,6,4);
End If;

It seems to be working OK. But when if SSN =011-23-2345
then it is not doing correctly.
Could you help me out with this problem
Thx
Venkat

Why not remove all formatting in the pre-text-item trigger, then apply the formatting in a post-text-item trigger. You can use a 'rtrim' to remove any entered hyphens.

Yah!
It is not working properly. When I Queried with F7 Button it is showing all records, which is fine. When I querid with 1 value it is Pulling all values Instead of one value. I tried Pre-text-item & Post-item-trigger, but they are not working I believe.
I need help.

Have you defined your Pre- and Post-Text-Item triggers to fire in enter-query mode?
