Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> SET_ITEM_PROPERTY for use with values...
I have a problem... first off, i have the name of an object (that can change at
any time) in a temporary hidden text field (Oracle Forms 4.5) such that the hidden
text is called CURRENT_POSITION. I need to be able to come back to that form and
do the following:
ie: i tried something like this but there wasnt any provision for the property 'Value':
set_item_property(:current_position, Value, :global.value);
question: How do i set the value of a field name that is stored as a string in
another field... if the field name is id_01 and that field name is located in the
:current_position item as 'id_01'... how do i make it such that i can do the
eqivalent of
:id_01 := :global.value;
but by calling :current_position
':current_position' := :global.value;
ciao, elmo
