8 Others Screens

This topic describes about the Others screens.

If the developer does not want to use the business logic provided by the ODT-generated code, he can create the function Id with the function type as OTHERS.

In the generated package, the code will handle only parsing the Ts list to composite PL/SQL type and vice versa. No other processing logic would be provided by the code. The developer has to write the whole business logic in hook packages. This can be useful when the developer wishes to reduce unnecessary code in the main package. For

example: Batch function Ids

Function IDs for processing a batch can be designed as an OTHERS screen. No conventional actions (NEW, SAVE, MODIFY etc) are required for a batch processing screen; only batch processing will need to be done. This can be handled better by designing the screen as OTHERS and writing the batch processing logic in the Hook packages.
