It would be by far simpler if you designed the form as the usual master-detail form. In order to do that, both blocks have to be data blocks. Forms would create relationship, all necessary triggers and procedures and you'd simply use Forms' querying mechanism to retrieve information.

As you chose NOT to do that, you'll have to do everything manually: based on information you enter into the control block, do *something* to retrieve desired records in a data block. That "something" might be setting data block's DEFAULT_WHERE or ONETIME_WHERE clause (you'd use SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY), or put DEPTNO and/or JOB values into appropriate data block items (in a PRE-QUERY trigger).

As of your form: sorry, I don't have Forms here so I can't review it. Besides, you didn't specify which Forms version you use.
