I want to increment a value in control block , ie initial value I am taking from database . For doing this I have used WHEN_NEW_BLOCK_INSTANCE trigger . But this trigger executes only once and gives the initial value . Now to increment that in control block

to incremet use 'select colum+increment_value into item from table'..but..
if block is multi-record, then use pre-text_item/when_new_item_instance on the item and if u want fresh value from database, then before select, a commit_form is advised.

If you only want it to happen ONCE, then use the When-Create-Record trigger at the block level.
