I have a form in Arabic with LOV I want to unify a search, that if a user types a word containing the arabic letter أ or ا it returns the same result,
what exactly I meant considering these two letters as one letter but written in different format it'll return the same result, as if the LOV considers small and cap letters the same. I think of replace function but how to do it tried to search and couldn't reach a solution any clue?
thanks
I'm using Oracle Forms 6i

Have idea from here.
For example, if user enter "s" or "S" , it should bring all records starting with s or S.
(Assume msearch is field)
Try this
Select *
from emp
where ((((msearch='s') or (msearch='S')) and (ename like 'S' or ename like 's')) or
(ename like msearch))
Just hav the idea from above example and apply it

You can't modify the standard Oracle LOV object. So you will have to use a work-around. While not ideal, you could create your own version of the Oracle LOV object (basically and Data block/Canvas/Window group that looks like the Oracle LOV) so it works the way you want it too. I've had to do this in the past. It isn't too difficult.
