Hi Sir,

I have a problem using global variables.

I have created two fmb files

1)LOGIN.fmb

2)EMP_CONNECT.fmb

In login.fmb file i have created a login page using emp table and global variables (:global.u,:global.p).
my table structure and data is
SQL> desc emp
 Name                                      Null?    Type
 ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------

 EMPNO                                     NOT NULL NUMBER(4)

14 rows selected.

and i have used used empno as user id and assigned it to
:global.u ,ename as password and assigned it to
:global.p
.
In a new_form i called a new emp_connect.fmx file
in that data block
i gave target data source type as :from query clause
source as (select * from emp start with empno=:global.u connect by prior empno=mgr order by deptno,level)
and created items and canvas.

I executed the form login.fmb and opened the form emp_connect.fmb

but when i tried to execute the form using [cntrl+F11].

it throws an error FRM-40505: ORACLE ERROR: unable to perform query.

but if i use the following query in from clause query of emp_connect's data block, then it works fine
(select * from emp start with empno=7566 connect by prior empno=mgr order by deptno,level)

please find the login .fmb file in the attachment . i will sent emp_connect.fmb file in next message.

Thanks In advance.

Regards,

Jay.

Use help -> display error from the runtime menus when you get the error to see exactly why oracle can't execute the query.

I suspect you may need to create two datablock items in emp_connect assign the values of the globals to them in when-new-form-instance then use them instead of the globals in the query.

Hi Sir,

I am not getting the desired result and the display error shows All Variables are not bound

Thanks & Regards,

Jay.

Hi Sir (cookiemonster),

i am happy that u suggested to take to non block items and use new instance query.
i would be more happy and thankful to you if you could send the code to assign the value of :global.u to a non database item in new form instance trigger. because I have already tried that too and got the same result.

Thanks & Regards,

Jay.

item := global

There's no special code for this.

Copy and paste the exact error message from display error when you try this.

It's quite obvious. Oracle does not know what ITEM24 is. Is it is column, a variable, a literal?

Use appropriate quotes, colon, or whatever depending on what it is.
