SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM System Variable
Syntax
SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM
Description
The value that the SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM system variable represents depends on the current navigation unit:
- If the current navigation unit is the item (as in the Pre- and Post-Item
triggers), the value of SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM is the name of the item that Oracle Forms is processing or that the cursor is in. The returned item name does
not include a block name prefix.
- If the current navigation unit is the record, block, or form (as in the
Pre- and Post- Record, Block, and Form triggers), the value of SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM
is NULL.
The value is always a character string.
Note: SYSTEM.CURRENT_ITEM is included for compatibility
with previous versions. Oracle recommends that you use SYSTEM.CURSOR_ITEM
or SYSTEM.TRIGGER_ITEM instead.
