hi,
i an using this code to generate invoice numbers auntomatically:

declare
po number;
pi number;
begin
select max(inv_no)
into po
from inv_hdr;
if po is null then
pi := 1;
:inv_hdr.minv_no := pi;
else
po := po +1;
:inv_hdr.minv_no := po;
end if;
end;

Problem is it does not increment after 10.
Please help.
Thanks.

Check the length of your form variable ":inv_hdr.minv_no".

Nope it doesn't work. Doesn't increment after 10.

And length of the column and variable are same - 20

The variable isn't length 20.

Regardless - there's no obvious reason why your code shouldn't work, so you're going to have to debug it.
Put messages in the code to check what po is being sete to.

no there are no errors, just that it doesn't increment after 10 it remains 10.

My dear friend please send me the exact code that you are using for this logic. Please also write on which event you are using this code.

One more thing my friend why are you using two variables "pi" and "po" for incrementing number.

I mean why are you not using one variable.

You are using two variables that hold incremented invoice number on conditional bases.

I think you should check your code. After the generation of the invoice number are you taking the right varibale value for new invoice number.

Why are you using when-new-form-instance?
I'd put this code in pre-insert.

But that means the invoice number is only generated when the form starts. So to enter another record you first have to exit the form.
