hi everyone,

why is it that the select AS from Table does not work with procedure being called in oracle forms. Is it really incompatible.

This is my exact code and it resulted an error
select distinct(PLAN_CODE) As PROD_ID,
DESCRIPTION
from gtr_plan;

Is there an alternative?

Please need help right away.

Thank you all very much.

hi,
SELECT AS is compatible in Oracle forms as well. However, it'll not work unless you don't include an INTO clause in your code.

Your code should be like this.

DECLARE
v_plan_code NUMBER;
v_desc VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
select distinct(PLAN_CODE) As PROD_ID,DESCRIPTION
INTO v_plan_code, v_desc
from gtr_plan
WHERE ......

PLAN_CODE and DESCRIPTION should return only one value. Otherwise you'll get an error. If the query returns more than one rows, use cursor instead of simple variable.

regards,
Saadat Ahmad

in that case, you are not providing the full code.

Ok, here is an example. Folow the steps then.

Create an test form using the "emp" table in scott's schema.

Write this code on When-New-Form-Instance trigger

DECLARE
	CURSOR c1 IS SELECT empno AS EMP_NO, ename
	FROM emp;
	c2 c1%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
 OPEN c1;
 LOOP FETCH c1 INTO c2;
 	EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
 	MESSAGE(c2.EMP_NO||' '||c2.ename); --note c2.EMP_NO here
 END LOOP;
 CLOSE c1;
END;

run the form and you should get your answer.

regards,
Saadat Ahmad

What version of Forms and database are you running?

Have you tried it without the 'AS'?
