SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK System Variable
Syntax
SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK
Description
The value that the SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK system variable represents depends on the current navigation unit:
- If the current navigation unit is the block, record, or item (as in the
Pre- and Post- Item, Record, and Block triggers), the value of SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK
is the name of the block that Oracle Forms is processing or that the cursor
is in.
- If the current navigation unit is the form (as in the Pre- and Post-Form
triggers), the value of SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK is NULL.
The value is always a character string.
Note: SYSTEM.CURRENT_BLOCK is included for compatibility
with previous versions. Oracle recommends that you use SYSTEM.CURSOR_BLOCK
and SYSTEM.TRIGGER_BLOCK instead.
