Hi Washesh,

I created a custom from in 11.0.2 by copying TEMPLATE FORM.

Make sure, ENABLE_LIST_LAMP record group & lov have been attached to your form module. Attach ENABLE_LIST_LAMP lov to your date item. And write a trigger KEY-LISTVAL for the date item. Within the KEY-LISTVAL trigger add "calendar.show;".

Hope this helps, Manju



Post Button Trigger

Hi,

I am trying to add some custom validation on the POST button on the Journal Entry Form (GLXJEENT), however, sometimes the edit is bypassed.

Is there somewhere else I need to apply this edit so that whenever the user tries to Post, it will kick it off?

Thanks.

Check your when-button-pressed or when-validate trigger??

Thank you for your response Suresh. I was working with the when-button-pressed trigger. I think the problem here is that I'm not picking up the right fields from the form and therefore not getting any matches. So, it's more of a program logic error.



Adding more options in the SPECIAL MENU of an OraApps Form

Hi All!

A small question which one of U might have encountered in aby of Ur past projects:

In the Sales Order Form, or for that matter any OraApps Form is it possible to have our own option in the Special menu and perform certain actions on the user selecting the custom option under Special menu (say, calling another form or perform certain sql, etc.).
E.g.: Booking of an Order is performed thru the special menu.

I checked the Oracle Application Developers' Guide and it talks of implementing Special stuff in the Default Menu in a new customised Form (say, after starting off from the TEMPLATE form). The documentation talks of certain coding in the PRE-FORM and PRE-BLOCK triggers. This will not be possible in any of the OraApps forms as customizing a form directly is a taboo.

If there is some way to do this thru CUSTOM.PLL (I checked the custom pll documentation in the developers' guide and that is very cryptic) or some other means.

If yes, please send me the particulars or some place where I can find the documentation.

Regards Ravi Aithal

The Custom Library allows extension of Oracle Apps without modification of existing Oracle code.
Therefore it is still supported.
I just happened to be looking into the same thing a couple of days ago I found the Application Developer Guide on-line in metalink and found it very helpful. I did a search on custom library and there is a whole chapter dedicated to the custom library.

Thanx Beth for the response.

I have read the entire chapter on CUSTOM library in the Application Developers' Guide. But that doesn't talk abt much on adding more options to the Special Menu. It deals with in detail abt other features and not much abt Special Menu additions.

I checked out OEXOEMOE.fmb (Sales Order Form in Order Entry) and it looks like most of the Special Menu options that are available currently have been hard coded in teh Form itself. But the small portion in CUSTOM.pll talks of possibilities of adding more options in the Special menu - but is silent on how to do it.

Thanx for the help anyway.
Regards Ravi

Adding Custom Entries to the Special Menu

To code logic for Special menu entries into the CUSTOM library:
1. Add a branch to the CUSTOM.EVENT procedure for the WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE event. See: CUSTOM.EVENT: page 25 - 14

Inside that branch, specify the form and block where you want your logic to occur. Add the logic to set up the Special menu. See: Application-Specific Entries: The Special Menu: page 10 - 7 You should start with entry number 15 on the Special menu (SPECIAL15) to avoid conflicting with any Special menu entries already provided by the form or by the VERT or GLOBE libraries (vertical and globablization routines) and work backwards towards SPECIAL1.

2. Add a branch to the CUSTOM.EVENT procedure for the particular SPECIALn event you want (where n is a number between 1 and 15). See: CUSTOM.EVENT: page 25 - 14 Inside that branch, specify the form and block where you want your logic to occur. Add the logic you want to fire from the Special menu. This is the logic that, if you were developing the form yourself, you would put in the user-named SPECIALn trigger. See: Application-Specific Entries: The Special Menu: page 10 - 7 At the end of your SPECIALn logic, you must include a call to RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE; this ensures that any SPECIALn trigger in the form that may already exist (with the same number) does not fire after your logic has fired, or, if there is no corresponding trigger, that your users do not see an error message when the form cannot find such a trigger.

I hope this helps Beth Carver

Ravi...
I would check into the Oracle Apps Coding Standards manual. I have it here in front of me and it mentions in a couple of places ( pages 4-11 and 13-26 ) of how to use the AOL built-ins to add custom functionality to the "Special" menu option. I would just check in the back index for "Special menu" or something like that.

Shane.

Thanks Beth.

I guess I would do some research on this, when the need arises. Actually the functional guys have changed the requirement - it has changed from the Special menu to a Zoom. Implementing Zoom is no big deal. Havealready completed that.

Thanks again Ravi
