HI,
can any one give me the code to create LOV. which should not run if field is not NULL but LOV run if field is NULL.

sample code:

if blk.item is null then

if show_lov(lov_item) then
next_item;
end if;

else

if blk.item is not null then
next_item;
end if;

end if;

this is not working.

so suggest me any solution as soon as possible.

Create an lov by lov wizard. then go to property pallete of field to which the lov is attached and set the lov property to null so that lov is not displayed when user presses F9 key.
Go to key next item trigger of the field and
write this code;

declare
lov boolean;
begin
if item1 is null then
lov:=show_lov('lov_name');
end if;
next_item;
end;

it will work .

ok bye.

Thanks very much for code it is working as per requirement.

i want to ask you something why you take boolean in this and can you explain how it is working.

[EDITED by LF: removed question which doesn't belong here; besides, there's a new topic opened for the same (which is the correct way to do it)]

Boolean? Where? If you are referring to "IF something > something_else" or similar, isn't it always a Boolean expression? "If something is true then do something", "if something is false then do something else" etc.
