Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

This is a bug, remove it and WHEN OTHERS, then retry.

So you didn't do what I said: REMOVE the clause, SUPPRESS it, DROP it, GET RID OF it.

No, please tell me. I thought you asked me to remove this

when others then
null;

So I removed null. And used message(sqlerrm);

you want me to remove the exception when others ?

Simply remove the whole EXCEPTION section. The way you use it is useless, it does nothing good; it just successfully hides any possible error. Let Forms raise an excaption if it happens; doing so, you'll (at least) know what went wrong. Then, if necessary, handle it. Using WHEN OTHERS is in most cases wrong (did you read contents behind the link Michel provided?).



As of your initial question: there's no GO_BLOCK in this piece of code, so the error must be somewhere else. Is it, perhaps, CHECK_FEHLKZ_CODE? What does it do?

Which Forms version do you use? Because, if you can't find the culprit and use Forms 9i onward, set the breakpoint and run the form in debug mode. Execute it step by step, until you find the line that causes the error.

Or, possibly even simpler (and faster), go to Edit menu and Find a string in your PL/SQL procedures - search for GO_BLOCK in there. Most probably, there aren't that many GO_BLOCKs in the form so you might see the error cause instantly, i.e. GO_BLOCK without an argument. It should contain the target block, such as
GO_BLOCK('employees');

This is the Check_Fehlkz_Code :

PROCEDURE Check_Fehlkz_Code(rc out number) IS

BEGIN
first_record;


LOOP
IF :CTRL_FEHLKZ.fehlkz=699
THEN

p_msg_ppslib('WARNUNG', stl.gtext(:parameter.stlapp, :parameter.stlmod, 25889));
raise form_trigger_failure;
rc:=1;
exit;
END IF;

IF :system.last_record = 'TRUE'
THEN
exit;
ELSE
next_record;
END IF;
end loop;


END;

Soulami, think with your own head. Do you see GO_BLOCK in CHECK_FEHLKZ_CODE? I do not. So how could it raise "Argument 1 of predefined procedure GO_BLOCK cant be null"?

Did you read the rest of my message (apart from following Michel's link)? What did you do about it?

By the way, that procedure will never assign a value to RC. The line of code that does that can never be run because of the raise.

Yes. Raise causes oracle to stop running the current block of code and crash out to the first exception handler it can find. So any code after a raise can never be run.
Also when a procedure ends in error it doesn't pass back out parameters.
If you want the out parameter set you can't use raise.

okay, got it.

But in that case the warning would be by passed, if i remove the raise form_trigger_failure.Right?

Any alternative?

Which one? You appear to have two.
The current code bypasses the outer one because the out parameter is never set.

You should either:
Have Check_Fehlkz_Code call p_msg_ppslib and do a raise and not bother with an out parameter and not have the trigger do either.
Or have the trigger call p_msg_ppslib and do a raise and remove those from Check_Fehlkz_Code and just have it return the out parameter.

You're trying to do both, which makes no sense.

If you raise an error, out parameters don't get passed back, even if they're set.
