[Quoted] Try the DO_KEY (ENTER_QUERY) in your WHEN_NEW_FORMS_INSTANCE trigger.

Following is a copy of the HELP screen for DO_KEY built in.

  • DO_KEY Built-in ---------------------------------------------------
    Syntax: DO_KEY(built-in_subprogram_name);

Built-in Type: restricted procedure

Enter Query Mode: yes

Description:
Executes the key trigger that corresponds to the specified built-in subprogram. If no such key trigger exists, then the specified subprogram executes. This behavior is analogous to pressing the corresponding function key.

Parameters:

built-in_subprogram_name Specifies the name of a valid built-in subprogram.

Restrictions:
DO_KEY accepts built-in names only, not key names: DO_KEY(ENTER_QUERY). To accept a specific key name, use the EXECUTE_TRIGGER built-in: EXECUTE_TRIGGER('KEY_F11').
