Actually, during the Enter Query phase, forms clears the block already, so there's not a need for you to code this in your trigger. If you'll refer to your product documentation under the Processing Manual, it clearly illustrates what happens during the Enter Query process...

If you mean the CALL_FORM built-in, one of the things you have to keep in mind is that if you have pending changes in the calling form, the called form can only perform "posts" rather than "commits"... You can check in the called form whether or not the form was called from another form with the Get_Application_Property built-in... All this should be included in documentation as well...
