FRM-40200 Field Protected Against Update After Date Format Changed (Doc ID 1043231.6)

Last updated on JANUARY 30, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle Forms - Version 6.0.8 and later
Oracle Forms for OCI - Version 12.2.1.4.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

A WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger does a
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('DATE_ITEM',enabled,property_false);

This disables the date_item at the start of form.

Then in a PRE-QUERY trigger, one sets the date_item back to enabled with
SET_ITEM_PROPERTY('date_item',enabled,property_true);

However, when trying to update against the date_item, the following error occurs:

FRM-40200:FIELD IS PROTECTED AGAINST UPDATE.
