I have a form that traps an error as it comes into the form using ON-ERROR.
When a particular error is trapped I want to set a text item in a data block. I have created the item and the data block and used the following syntax
:BLOCK.ITEM := 1;
This compiles ok - but when I try to run it and retrieve the value from the block with message(:BLOCK.ITEM), I get the message No records in block.
Ive tried GO_BLOCK first but cant do that in ON-ERROR trigger.
Any ideas why I cant seem to set the value? I need it to hold a value received in the on-error trigger so I can use it from the when_new_form_instance trigger is called.
Am grateful of any help - been working on something for a long time and I think this would bypass a problem I was having!!Heres hoping!

I have no idea why you want to do this, but this is the one time that you DO need to use the 'magic' block 'global'. So use ':global.my_itm' and store the value in there.
