Dear the problem is that you have used PRE-TEXT-ITEM. Try to put your code in WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE on block level.

ORA-06502 :Text: PL/SQL: numeric or value error


Cause: An arithmetic, numeric, string, conversion, or constraint error occurred.


For example, this error occurs if an attempt is made to assign the value NULL to a variable declared NOT NULL, or if an attempt is made to assign an integer larger than 99 to a variable declared NUMBER(2).


Action: Change the data, how it is manipulated, or how it is declared so that values do not violate constraints.

Hi,

According to the help set_item_instance_property needs 4 parameters, your example is only showing 3?

Yes you are right... The parameter must be 4.
Following is the correct syntax:

SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY
(item_id ITEM,
record_number NUMBER,
property NUMBER,
value VARCHAR2);
OR

SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY
(item_id ITEM,
record_number NUMBER,
property NUMBER,
value NUMBER);
OR

SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY
(item_name VARCHAR2,
record_number NUMBER,
property NUMBER,
value VARCHAR2);
OR

SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY
(item_name VARCHAR2,
record_number NUMBER,
property NUMBER,
value NUMBER);

hi
now i am able to change the visual attribute of the item by writing code
SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY(:SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM,CURRENT_RECORD,VISUAL_ATTRIBUTE,'CURRENT_ITEM');
on per-text-item at block level. but this code no work on post-text-item.
actually i want that the visual attribute of a item on which the cursor exists have different colour form other item,
and when i navigate to another text item it set to default,means to at a state before navigation.


regards
jitender.

First I would suggest that you should place WHEN-NEW-ITEM-INSTANCE trigger instead of pre-text-item.

Now the above trigger will set a visual attribute for the item on which U are right now.

You need now is a machenism that will set the attribute back to default when you leave this item.

So I suggest you try Pre-Text-Item and put the code for setting the attribute to default. Use :SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM in the item name.

hi
its working fine by writing code on when-new-item-instance & post-text-item but it is not working for list item, it changes the colour by executing the code written on when-new-item-instance but not able to chages back to default by executing post-text-item.

Have you considered changing ALL the items on the line by using the block property 'Current Record Visual Atribute Group'?
