I don't work with Forms so I can't comment on most of your post, but this Quote:

sounds as though you are trying to create a BEFORE INSERT trigger. Just saying "also not work" does not give any useful information. You need to post your code. Copy/paste what happens when you create and use the trigger, so that readers can see what it is that doesn't work.

Certainly, "not working" is less than descriptive. Although it seems that you aren't an active Forum member (regarding number of messages you posted so far), knowing that you use Oracle for at least 5 years means that you should have learnt how to properly ask a question.

Anyway: I don't use Forms 6i and don't have 12c database, but you can try the following: create a (stored) function (the one that is created in the database, not in your form) which returns sequence's next value, such as
create or replace function f_my_seq_nextval 
  return number
is
  retval number;
begin
  select my_seq.nextval 
    into retval
    from dual;

  return retval;
end;
and then use that function in the form, such as
:my_block.seq_item := f_my_seq_nextval;
I believe that it *should* work (based on Forms overall experience).

If that doesn't work then the OP is doing something weird in the form to stop it.
