Re: Changing column prompts/headers at runtime in Forms 4.5

Create a display item that will be used as the column header. You can set its
properties so it will be look just like other header, and still you will be able to
change its content, ie. :
  :block.header_display_item := 'From Amnt' || ' (' || w_currency || ')';
