5. Choose LOV for "Name" field and it will show all the details.

6. With in the LOV search for "%eng%" it will not show any value even it has values which contain "eng"

7. if you give "%eng%" in the "Name" field and tab out. it will show 6 values.

FORMS has provided some APIs for calling from Oracle E-Business Suite owned user_exit code. Once such interface is provided in iiflov.c to open a LOV at runtime.

Using this LOV through the user_exit code, when we set DISPLAY_WIDTH for LOV columns the searching is not done on characters being displayed in LOV.
