  Part 2, help information on the Format mask item property; you will need to make sure that you set the property correctly.

  Sorry, I had to drill two answers but my first attempt surpassed the eligible characters in an answer ;-)

  Usage Notes
  
  Valid format masks for character strings, numbers and dates are described in the following tables.
  Character Strings
  The following table describes valid format masks for character strings. 
  
  Element     Example     Description
  FM     FMXX99     Fill mode:  accept string as typed, do not right justify.  Allows end user input string to be shorter than the format mask.
  X     XXXX     Any alphabetic, numeric, or special character.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  9     9999     Numeric characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  A     AAAA     Alphabetic characters only.  End user input string must be exact length specified by format mask.
  Character String Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  XXAA     Will accept: --ab, abcd, 11ab; will not accept: --11, ab11, or ab--(must use XX to accept hyphens and other special characters).
  XXXX     Will accept any combination of alphabetic, numeric, or special characters: --ab, abcd, 11ab, --11, ab11, or ab--.  Will accept 1234 or abcd; will not accept 123 or abc.  (To accept input string shorter than mask, use FMXXXX.)
  FMXX99     Will accept ab12, ab1, ab followed by two spaces; will not accept 12ab or abcd.  (To produce the Form Builder Version 3.0 Alpha datatype, use FMAAAAAA.)
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 
  
  NUMBERS
  
  The following table describes valid format masks for numbers.
  
  Element     Example     Description
  9     9999     Number of nines determines display width.  Any leading zeros will be displayed as blanks.
  0     0999     Display leading zeros.
  0     9990     Display zero value as zero, not blank.
  $     $9999     Prefix value with dollar sign.
  B     B9999     Display zero value as blank, not "0".
  MI     9999MI     Display "-" after a negative value.
  PR     9999PR     Display a negative value in .
  comma     9,999     Display a comma in this position.  For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute G to return the appropriate group (thousands) separator.
  period     99.99     Display a decimal point in this position. For correct behavior in multilingual applications, substitute D to return the appropriate decimal separator.
  E     9.999EEEE     Display in scientific notation (format must contain exactly four "E"s).
  FM      FM999     Fill mode: accept string as typed, do not right justify.
  n     When you mask a number with nines (9), Form Builder adds a space in front of the number to accommodate the plus (+) or minus (-) sign.  However, since the plus sign is not displayed, it appears as if Form Builder adds a space in front of the number.  (The minus sign is displayed.)
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them. 
  
  NUMBER Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FM099"-"99"-"9999     Displays the social security number as formatted, including hyphens, even if end user enters only nine digits.To create a Social Security column, create an 11-character column, set to fixed length, with a format mask of 099"-"99"-"9999.  This mask will accommodate Social Security numbers that begin with zero, accepting 012-34-5678 or 012345678 (both stored as 012345678).
  99999PR     Accepts -123; reformats as <123>.
  999MI     Accepts -678; reformats as 678-.
  9.999EEEE     Displays as 1.00E+20.
  How Forms handles length mismatches
  
  If a runtime user enters a numeric string that exceeds the format mask specification, the value will be rejected.  For example:
  
  Format Mask     User enters     Result
  99.9     321.0     Invalid
  99.9     21.01     Invalid
  99.9     21.1     21.1
  99.9     01.1     1.1
  In contrast, if a numeric value fetched from the database exceeds the format mask specification for its display field, the value is displayed, but truncated, with rounding, to fit the mask.  (The item itself within the Forms application retains its full value.)  For example, if the database held the value 2.0666, and the format mask was 99.9, the value displayed to the user would be 2.1.  However, the value of the item within the form would be the full 2.0666. 
  
  Dates
  
  The following table describes valid format masks for dates.
  
  Element     Description
  YYYY or SYYYY     4-digit year; "S" prefixes "BC" date with "-".
  YYY or YY or Y     Last 3, 2, or 1 digits of year.
  Y,YYY     Year with comma in this position.
  BC or AD     BC/AD indicator.
  B.C. or A.D.     BD/AD indicator with periods.
  RR     Defaults to correct century.  Deduces the century from a date entered by comparing the 2 digit year entered with the year and century to which the computer's internal clock is set.   Years 00-49 will be given the 21st century (the year 2000), and years from 50-99 will be given the 20th century (the year 1900).
  MM     Month (01-12; JAN = 01).
  MONTH     Name of month, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
  MON     Name of month, 3-letter abbreviation.
  DDD     Day of year (1-366).
  DD     Day of month (1-31).
  D     Day of week (1-7; Sunday=1).
  DAY     Name of day, padded with blanks to length of 9 characters.
  DY     Name of day, 3-letter abbreviation.
  J     Julian day; the number of days since January 1, 4712 BC.
  AM or PM     Meridian indicator.
  A.M. or P.M.     Meridian indicator with periods.
  HH or HH12     Hour of day (1-12).
  HH24     Hour of day (0-23).
  MI     Minute (0-59).
  SS     Second (0-59).
  SSSSS     Seconds past midnight (0-86399).
  /. , .     Punctuation is reproduced in the result.
  "..."     Quoted string is reproduced in the result.
  FM     Fill mode: assumes implied characters such as O or space; displays significant characters left justified.  Allows end user input to be shorter than the format mask.  (Use in conjunction with FX to require specific delimiters.)
  FX     All date literals must match the format mask exactly, including delimiters.
  n     When you prefix a date mask with FX, the end user must enter the date exactly as you define the mask, including the specified delimiters:  
  
  Date Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FXDD-MON-YY     Will accept 12-JAN-94, but will not accept 12.JAN.94 or 12/JAN/94 because the delimiters do not match the mask. Will not accept 12JAN94 because there are no delimiters.  Will accept 01-JAN-94 but will not accept 1-JAN-94.
  FMDD-MON-YY     Will accept 01-JAN-94.  Will also accept the entry of other delimiters, for example 01/JAN/94 and 01 JAN 94.  However, will not accept 01JAN94.  Will accept 1-JAN-94, converting it to 01-JAN-94.
  DD-MON-YY     Will accept 12.JAN.94, 12/JAN/94 or 12-JAN-94. Note: Any delimiter characters will be accepted, but if delimiters are omitted by the end user, this mask will interpret date characters as a delimiters.  Will accept 12-JAN94, (but will erroneously interpret as 12-JAN-04); but will not accept 12JAN94, because "AN" is not a valid month name.
  n     Use of a format mask only affects how the data looks.  Form Builder stores full precision, regardless of how the data is presented.
  n     Embedded characters are separate from text item values and are not collated along with text item values, even when the end user enters them.
  n     To embed additional characters such as a hyphen (-) or a comma (,), surround the character with double-quotes (").  Note, however, that double-quotes themselves cannot be used as a character.  In other words, trying to achieve output of DD"MM by specifying a mask of DD"""MM would not work.
  
  Format Mask     Description
  FMMONTH" "DD", "YYYY     Displays the text item data in the specified date format: JANUARY 12, 1994, including the appropriate blank spaces and comma.
  FMDD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
  DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.  Note: for input validation including day of the week, a mask that allows specific determination of the day is required, such as this example or DY-DD-MM-YY.
  n     When you use day of the week formats, be sure that the data  includes day of the week information.  To avoid illogical masks, display also either the day of the year (1-366) or the month in some format. 
  
  Format Mask     Description
  DD-MONTH-YYYY     Displays as 12-JANUARY-1994.
  DY-DDD-YYYY     Displays as WED-012-1994.
  DY-DD-MON-YY     Displays as WED-12-JAN-94.  Be sure to include month.  Avoid masks such as DY-DD-YY, which could generate an error.
  NLS Format Masks
  
  The following table describes valid National Language Support (NLS) format masks.
  
  Element     Example     Description
  C     C999     Returns the international currency  symbol.
  L     L9999     Returns the local currency  symbol.
  D     99D99     Returns the decimal separator.
  G     9G999     Returns the group (thousands) separator.
  comma     9,999     Displays a comma in this position.
  period     9.999     Displays a decimal point in this position. Displays a decimal point in this position.
  NLS Format Mask Examples
  
  Format Mask     Description
  L99G999D99     Displays the local currency symbol, group, and decimal separators:  if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as $1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=Norwegian, this item displays as Kr.1.600,00.
  C99G999D99     Displays the appropriate international currency symbol: if NLS_LANG=American, this item displays as USD1,600.00; if NLS_LANG=French, this item displays as FRF1.600,00.

• Automatic go next field without press keyboard key in oracle form 6i

  How do to have a next field go automatically without press keyboard key in oracle form 6i.
  Download
  When I enter a value in the field of my classes, I would like to have a go then filed without pressing ENTER key
  (this is the case even when I enter the value via the barcode reader, so without any touch of preesing I need to have a next field to go)
  If I use a barcode reader to enter my data in this element, it will be automatically validated?
  any ideas please?

  In general you can configure the barcode readers to add a TAB or a CR after you "type" bar code.

• Mark a required field in Oracle BPM

  Hello

  I want to mark a field as required in Oracle BPM ADF UI but I am unable to do so as we do in Oracle ADF. So whenever an initiator completes the form and if it leaves an empty field, its application should not be submitted. Please see the attachment snap for detail, thank you very much

  

  The simplest solution is just to type "true" (without the quotes) in the field of the "Required" property for the field office on the form.

  Note that the field 'Account Nature' is already a field required on the form.  If your human task data XSD based, here's how you can make sure that 'Office' is a required field on all forms where it is placed.  First of all, note that your "AccountNature" is already a field required on the form.  The reason is that the item in your XSD for AccountNature probably looks like this:

  If you look at your 'Office' in the XSD element, however, it probably looks like this:

  Delete 'minOccurs = "0" ' for this item before generating the shape of the human task and this field will be also necessary.

• Insert multiple record Oracle forms 6i

  Hi all

  I have a single column of field Field1, button, in the form TEXT_ITEM1.

  After giving the sales order number in Field1, when should press us the button, the items (item_code) shown in the TEXT_ITEM1.

  I went through the discussion Insert several Oracle forms 6i, 9i/10 g recordbut did not exactly how to write the loop button when button pressed.

  first_record;
<<record_loop>>
loop
  insert into ....
  exit when :system.last_record = 'TRUE';
  next_record;
end loop record_loop;

  My request for the loop is.

  Select RI_ITEM_CODE from OT_REQ_ITEM

  Where REQ_NO =: field1;

  Please suggest

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Afzal.

  Forgive me if I am oversimplifying this, but why not just base your block of data to the table: XXTABLE.  Then, you just put your form in design query (F7). Enter the value of 1122 in the area of the INVOICE_NUM and selects Execute Query (F8).  Then forms does all the work to extract and display the records without having to write code to do this.  This saves you having to write the code to perform and DML as well because the forms will take care of the Insert, Update and Delete automatically when your users click on save or press F10 (if I remember correctly).

  If you must absolutely query and display your data manually, then you cannot use the standard SELECT INTO method because it will only show 1 record.  You need to loop through your recordset and to manually edit the records in your block after you assign a value to the line.  For example:

  
   /* Sample Button Code */
  DECLARE
    v_invoice_num NUMBER := BLOCK.TEXT1;
  
    CURSOR Get_Items (p_invoice NUMBER) IS
    SELECT INVOICE_NUM, ITEM_CODE
    FROM XXTABLE
    WHERE invoice_num = p_invoice;
   BEGIN
    GO_BLOCK('BLOCK');
    CLEAR_BLOCK(NO_VALIDATE);
  
    FOR rec in Get_Items(v_invoice_num) LOOP
    :BLOCK.INVOICE_NUM := rec.invoice_num;
    :BLOCK.ITEM_CODE := rec.item_code;
    Next_Record;
    END LOOP;
   END:
  

  I really don't like this method, but it could work.

• Can we have pop up similar to Oracle Forms LOV LOV

  JDeveloper Version - 11.1.1.4.0
  
  
  My form is made up of empid, deptid, projectid. I have an InlputwithListofvalues for the project ID.
  
  I want to change the default functionality of the search popup that appears by clicking the search icon. It should work similar to Oracle Forms LOV. IIN pop up I need to have that one field, say the search field. On enter a value in the search field and clicking on the "Search" button, it should try to match the empid, projectid and deptid value. It should return all records whenever these values match.

  Yes, it will not work with VC (and when I think about it, once again, it was very bad idea :))

  So you can do the following (this time I tested app, so it works - or at least compiles :))):
  1. you don't need any ViewCriteria
  2. Add the new variable to link to your LOV viewobject (for example: "p_search") and change the data type and the label
  3. change the where clause in LOV view the object, something like this:
  EmpID =: p_search
  or projectid =: p_search
  deptId = or: p_search

  4. set Queryble = false on all attributes
  5 Add this VO as LOV your fields
  And, that is :)

  Because you define queryable = false at run time, you will see only the input field for the connection variable

  Bharat,

  But to open the path of local network I should use \\192.168.1.203\ like that then EUL.

  There is no way to do it. ? >
  As you say here, it's a network , not a URL path. The WEB. ShowDocument integrated expects a URL so everything that you pass to this built-in function will be treated as a URL. Rather than use the UNC format, try using the URL to open a file from a browser instead (for example: file://192.168.1.200/test/hi).

  You can test it in your browser quite easily to confirm that it works. Then pass the url of the Web file. ShowDocument instead of the network address.

  Better take column with the data type date. You can insert the date and time in the date field.
  You just change the forms.
  Change the data type Date to Datetime

  to view a single moment, use the format mask.

• Validation of military time in oracle forms

  I have a column called time of warming in oracle forms. The format mask is HH24
  If the user does not have at the time military, how can I fill a message to say, 'Please use the military time format '.
  
  Its been 30 minutes warm-up time. It must be registered in the military calendar. For example 13:30 must be entered 13:30. If they enter in format other than military calendar to give a message to enter warming time military calendar and then clear the field

  You can use something like this:

• Case study: reorganize an Oracle Forms application using Oracle JDevelope

  After reading http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/collateral/4gl/papers/redeveloping_forms_in_adf_11g.pdf (case study: reorganize an Oracle Forms application to help)
  Oracle JDeveloper 11 g and 11 g of OracleADF), I noticed that the Total Order field has not migrated to ADF. I want to create a summary based on a column like this field. How can I do?

  I think (without looking at the code.tables) that the order total is the sum of the of the linetotal of elements

  So in the OrdersVO, you should have a transient OrderTotal attribute that is assigned to the groovy expression ItemsVO.sum ("LineTotal").

  The syntax may not be perfect, but it's the essence of what you need.

• Validate dates in oracle forms

  Hello everyone. I have a column of field in my form, ORDER_START_DATE.
  The date format is DD. LUN. RRRR
  Now, I want to add a validation to this area and I know that you have allowed less value as a property field.
  I want to make sure any allowed value is SYSDATE but sysdate in format DD. LUN. RRRR. In other words, today should be the less allowed excluding the hour value or a minute.
  Can someone help me to achieve this goal in oracle forms?
  Thank you very much.

  go to the open palette field ORDER_START_DATE property
  to DD "Format mask". LUN. RRRR
  in "the lowest allowed Value" value $$DATE$ $

  control should be done automatically by forms in the future
