Why don't you just read what form builder help has to say about global variables? It does tell you this stuff.

You can check the value of GLOBAL variable by the following way.

 If :global.variable_name is not null then
     If :global.variable_name = '' then --Your desired value.
        Your required action here....
     End If;   
 End If;

I use this code but now this time my requirement is this that ...

i made a project and i have many forms...

i want that when any body log-in by using log-in form then his session created and i pass this user name to every form by using global variable.. but now my task is this that when any body what to open any other form in the project folder... then forms raise this error...

FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.%s does not exist.

i want that when any body open any form in the project folder then forms check that if global variable created or exists then its open else its close the form.

i check this global variable in PRE-FORM...

but when i open any form without using log-in form then it raise error...

FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.%s does not exist.

i want that it can not raise error... if GLOBAL variable exists then its open else its close without any error...

thanks your reply sir...

I Write this code in PRE-FORMS 

IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME IS NULL  THEN 
  :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS := 'N';
ELSE
   CHK_RIGHT('OPEN_FRM'); --this is procedure check user rights
     IF :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS='N' THEN 
        SET_ALERT_PROPERTY('COMMON_ALRT', ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, 'You have no Rights to Open this Form...!');
	ALRT := SHOW_ALERT('COMMON_ALRT');
     ELSE 
       --MDI_ICO := WIN_API_UTILITY.GET_ACTIVE_WINDOW;
       --WIN_API_SESSION.CHANGE_MDI_ICON(MDI_ICO, '.\Icons\awc3.ico', 0);
       SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
	SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,PRG_TITLE);
	SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW1',TITLE,:PARAMETER.FRM_NAME);
	A_CNTR_FRM('WINDOW1');
     END IF;

END IF;


and write in when_new_form_instance this code...

IF :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS = 'N' THEN 
   EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
end if;


if i use this above code then, when any body want to open any form without log-in form then just raise this error and close the forms...

FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.%s does not exist.




Your must have declare all GLOBAL varibales in NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
in to your LOGIN form.Otherwise when u assign some value into your Global variable the form raise


I Think you say that i write code like this...


PRE-FORM TRIGGER
   CHK_RIGHT('OPEN_FRM'); --this is procedure check user rights
     IF :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS='N' THEN 
        SET_ALERT_PROPERTY('COMMON_ALRT', ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT, 'You have no Rights to Open this Form...!');
	ALRT := SHOW_ALERT('COMMON_ALRT');
     ELSE 
       --MDI_ICO := WIN_API_UTILITY.GET_ACTIVE_WINDOW;
       --WIN_API_SESSION.CHANGE_MDI_ICON(MDI_ICO, '.\Icons\awc3.ico', 0);
       SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,WINDOW_STATE,MAXIMIZE);
	SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY(FORMS_MDI_WINDOW,TITLE,PRG_TITLE);
	SET_WINDOW_PROPERTY('WINDOW1',TITLE,:PARAMETER.FRM_NAME);
	A_CNTR_FRM('WINDOW1');
  

when_new_form_instance 
[code]
IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = IS NULL THEN 
   EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
end if;
[/code]



if i use global variable in when_new_form_instance

than first form open and then again this error comes...

FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.%s does not exist.


i hope you understand my problem...

How come you didn't see the DEFAULT_VALUE built-in, then?

i see in form builder before my posts...
BEGIN 
  /* 
  ** Default the value of GLOBAL.Command_Indicator if it is 
  ** NULL or does not exist. 
  */ 
  Default_Value('***','global.command_indicator'); 
  /* 
  ** If the global variable equals the string we defaulted 
  ** it to above, then it must have not existed before 
  */ 
  IF :Global.Command_Indicator = '***' THEN 
    Message('You must call this screen from the Main Menu'); 
    RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure; 
  END IF; 
END;



i write this code for get/check the value ... by using ... this code...

DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAEM');

but its also raise error...

FRM-40815: Variable GLOBAL.%s does not exist.

It means that, at the moment of global variable fetch, it doesn't exist. Where did you put DEFAULT_VALUE, and what raises the error (which trigger)?

Make sure that it is first declared, and then use it.

I'm afraid that I was misunderstood.

Obviously, you did find documentation about DEFAULT_VALUE; that's fine.

Then you posted this:
DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAEM');
and said that you still got the error.

Then I asked WHERE DID YOU PUT IT and what raises the error, and - instead of a reply as "into the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, while WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM raises an error" or wherever / whatever it is, there's a suggestion for me.

OK, fine, thank you, but - you still have a problem, and all I can tell (as you don't answer questions) is to repeat: you first have to declare a variable, then use it.

Could you, please, answer two questions?
1) where did you put DEFAULT_VALUE, into which trigger? (trigger_1)
2) which trigger raises FRM-40815? (trigger_2)

Trigger that raises FRM-40815 (trigger_2) must fire after trigger that declares a global variable (trigger_1).

1st question's Answers...

DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAEM');

IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
:PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS='N'
END IF;

2nd question's Answers is:
PRE-FORMS raise the error....

Poor you (what else to say ...).

This is your code, which doesn't work (formatted, so that you'd see the difference, if you look closely):
DEFAULT_VALUE('***', 'GLOBAL.USER_NAEM');

IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
   :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS = 'N' 
END IF;


This is my code, which does work:
DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAME');

IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
   :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS := 'N';
END IF;

How many differences do you see?

Your turn.

Thanks for your reply..
sorry for my English...
sir which mistake you get...

i know about that..

Quote:

DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAME');

IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
:PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS := 'N';
END IF;


i write this code here directly...

because i delete these lines when its not worked...

but now i get the value of my global variable... and do my work properly....

i write these lines in PRE-FORM TRIGGER...
DEFAULT_VALUE('***','GLOBAL.USER_NAME');
IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
   :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS := 'N';
END IF;


AND " EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE); " does not worked in PRE-FORM Trigger.. then i create a parameter. and update its value in PRE-FORM TRIGGER and check its value in WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE TRIGGER..
like this...
IF :PARAMETER.USER_RIGHTS='N' THEN 
	EXIT_FORM(NO_VALIDATE);
end if;


i don't know that how it be done....
but now it be done...

and sir which mistake you get if i write these lines in forms developer and compile it then it gives the error....

thanks for your cooperation...

now my form close without any error....

I didn't quite get it: did you solve the problem or not?
As of EXIT_FORM not working in PRE-FORM trigger: why wouldn't you put the whole code into the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger, so that you wouldn't need to user a parameter?
-- WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE

DEFAULT_VALUE('***', 'GLOBAL.USER_NAME');
IF :GLOBAL.USER_NAME = '***' THEN
   EXIT_FORM (NO_VALIDATE);
END IF;
