hi expert
i have problem i want to to display in message all the values of block in for example when i create the fourth record the three already records are show in message..actually first i want to in message than i would populate pl/sql table.
the code is at block leve when-new-reocord-instance
************************************************************
declare
v_record number :=1 ;
v_cur_record number;
begin
v_cur_record :=:system.cursor_record;
Message('system cursor record iss...'||v_cur_record);
pause;
for i in 1..v_cur_record-1 loop
go_record(v_record);

message('curosor loop is :'||i);
message('task desc :'||:TXT_TASK_DESC);
exit when :system.last_record='True';
v_record := v_record + 1;
end loop;
end;
**************************************************************
actually in block there are three record and this message should be display for the three time but the loop is executed more time....

How many times is it executed?
What is v_cur_record set to?
Why have you got an exit statement in a for loop?

there are three record in block ..so it should be executed three time and display in message the task_desc of each record.
v_cur_record is the variable to set the for loop to executed ..for example if i create for the new record that is fourth record then
v-cur_record=4-1=3
for i in 1...3 loop

Now??????
if further explaination need please reply

So according to the above the loop will iterate 3 times. You seem to be saying it's doing something else.
So what is it doing? It's really difficult to fix code when you don't know what's going wrong.

Well the main problem is that you shouldn't be trying to do this code in when-new-record-instance.
Guess what happens when you use go_record to go to a different record? It fires when-new-record-instance again.

What are trying to achieve with this code?

ok...your means that at each record it is executed...suppose it is then this code should be executed for
first record it should
for i in 1..1
for the 2nd record it should be executed
for i in 1..2
for the 3rd record it shoud be executed
for i in 1..3
but the problem it should created the fourth record but it did't???

now i actually i want to print all the record task_desc then i populated this in pl/sql table then after population i will check
each pl/sql table task_desc with the new record create desc and if the desc is already in table then message should display for the duplication task....
thats why first i display the task_desc through message then i will populated the table...

You're doing all this to check for duplicates?

Stop that.

Use the when-new-record-instance to issue a post command, this will apply any new/changed records to the DB, without committing them.
Then use a select statement in the appropriate when-validate trigger to check for duplicates.

I never use pl/sql arrays for this.

"Post" is a command, just like "commit" or any other. It means that WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE trigger is supposed to look like this:
post;
It will save form records into the table, but won't commit them (which means that if you, finally, do not COMMIT, these changes will be lost).

Yes. Using the SELECT statement, as Cookiemonster explained.

i have doing what u asked as post in when-new-record-instance then
this code is at when-validate-item in task-desc field
#####################
declare
v_count number;
begin
select mt.task_no into v_count from TASK_MT mt
where mt.task_no =:TXT_TASK_NO;
message('count is '||v_count);
if v_count >0 then
Message('this record is already existed....');
Raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
exception
when others then
Message('Exception..'||dbms_error_text);
end;3
now some two record is commited in database if now i create third and fourth record then the fourth record is validated from commited as well the post record that is not still commited in database..

like i have two record....
task-0001
task-0002
and third record is
task-0001
whether this record is validated

As of code you posted: shouldn't you find a "number of records" using COUNT function? The way you wrote it, there's danger of failing with NO-DATA-FOUND or TOO-MANY-ROWS. Although you (sort of) handled it with WHEN OTHERS, you'd probably want to avoid it.

As of the rest of your message: sorry, I don't understand what you are saying.

i have at some no-data-found exception ...
and some case i have too-many-rows exception raise..
your are right...
but give me the solution..i have write the select statement to check whether the task is already entered or not....
if select count > 0 means record is existed...
if not then this mean this record is not existed

The rest of message will explain in next post.
please give me the solution

Code you posted seems to be close to the solution; did you try with COUNT?
declare
  l_count number;
begin
  select count(*)
    into l_count
    from your_table
    where some_column = ...
      and ...

  if l_count > 1 then
     message(...);
     raise form_trigger_failure;
  end if;
end;

Did you POST first? Perhaps you should run the form in debug mode, trace its execution and see what's going on.

How do you mean, no debug mode? You use Forms 10g, don't you? That's what information you posted when opening the topic suggests.

Do you know how to use debug mode?

SELECT sees data that already exists in a table (obviously, committed previously) as well as posted data (you just posted).

If you're checking if the value already exists you should be checking if the count is greater than 0 not 1.
If it's greater than 1 then a duplicate has already been posted to the DB, you want to avoid that.

Littlefoot's example code:
declare
  l_count number;
begin
  select count(*)
    into l_count
    from your_table
    where some_column = ...
      and ...

  if l_count > 1 then
     message(...);
     raise form_trigger_failure;
  end if;
end;


Your code:
begin
select mt.task_no into v_count from TASK_MT mt
where mt.task_no =:TXT_TASK_DESC;
message('count is '||v_count);


Littlefoot's code counts records that match what has been entered in the datablock. Your code obviously doesn't.

Your code will throw no_data_found when there are no matches in the db - when there are no duplicates. It'll find one or many rows when there are duplicates.

Make your code actually do what Littlefoot suggested and it'll work just fine.
