  I haven't tried it, but it seems like replacing the 'ABC' with   :PO_ID
  should work.

  I'm not quite sure what you are trying to do. Is it copy rows from   one table into another table? It might be easier just to write some

  pl/sql within the first form to do the job, without calling a second

  form.

  Hope this helps...

 I'm not really sure what your trying either, but it sounds like you are using CALL_FORM to open another form.

You should be able to set up a :GLOBAL.variable in the originating form to hold the value. This global variable can then be referenced by the called form. Received on Tue Apr 22 1997 - 00:00:00 CEST
