Hi

I have one data block, and some items based on the block displayed on form.

I have one item called status. When I change a status of the item from 1 to 0, and commit it, I would like to disable any further updates on that record i.e. all records with the status=0, and to enable updates on all records with status=1.

This was my attempt:

I created when-window-activated trigger and put this code:

if :db.status=0 then SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('db', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_FALSE); 
else 
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY ('db', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE); 
end if;


But this didn't work fine. I tried to put similar code in PRE-UPDATE trigger, it didn't work fine.

Do you have any suggestion how to solve this?

Perhaps you should try the PRE-RECORD trigger.

Dear sindikalac,
I want to know, status is based on table field. or its non datablock item?
And you are setting block property that effect to all record of block not the currenty record only.
Regards
Brijal

Hello, brijal_j_patel

Item is databased, and yes I want to effect all records with that kind of status.
