Assigning Values to Table entries from Forms 4.0

I am currently in the process of developing some applications for our department as we move some databases from our mainframe to a workstation based server. I am developing some electronic forms to aid in this process using Oracle Forms v4.0 under Windows 3.1.
My question is:
Is it possible to assign values to record entries in the table through the form.
For example:
BEGIN
:equipment.value := 6;
END;
Is this valid? When I try something similar it will not update the
current records' value field with 6. However if I return a value
through a list of values object to :equipment.value I can assign 6 to
:equipment.value.
Is it only possible to `force' values into table fields through a list of values return object or is there a way through assignment?
Please e-mail replies to the address below...
Thanx in advance...
