Calender Option For Date Parameters in SRS Window

The document discusses enabling the calendar list of values (LOV) for date parameters in concurrent programs. While having a calendar LOV would be beneficial, it is not technically feasible due to limitations of the application. The user will need to manually enter date values, but it is recommended to set default dates to save time. Popping up the calendar window is not possible because the concurrent request parameters are handled on the server-side via a user-exit, rather than through the Oracle Forms client.

How to Enable the Calendar LOV For a Concurrent Program Parameter (Doc ID 457838.1)

APPLIES TO:
Oracle Application Object Library - Version 11.5.3 to 11.5.10.2 [Release 11.5]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
FORM:FNDRSRUN.FMB - Run Reports
FORM:FNDFFMVS.FMB - Define Value Set
Checked for relevance on 16-Jun-2012

GOAL
A concurrent program often has one or more date parameters. At submission time it is a benefit to have a List Of
Values available so that the date value can be selected via the the Calendar LOV rather then filling in the date value
manually.
Several Value Sets having a date related Format Type are seeded:
FND_DATE
FND_DATE_REQUIRED
FND_STANDARD_DATE
FND_STANDARD_DATE_REQUIRED
...
The List Type of these Value Sets is 'List of Values' so one would expect to see an LOV for a Concurrent Program
Parameter that have been set up with such a Value Set.

FIX
The current behavior is expected. It is not feasible to have the Calendar window to pop up for concurrent program
parameters which have been set up with such a date related value set. Even though it would be a great benefit and a
time saver, it is not feasible to implement this functionality due to technical limitations of the application. The end user
will need to enter the date value manually and to safe time, it is recommended to set up the concurrent program in a
way that the date parameters of the program have a default value.
Note: The Parameters window of a concurrent request at submission time is invoked via a user-exit and thus has
no direct relationship with the Oracle Forms application on the client. The user-exit is not capable of invoking the
Calendar window as that would need to occur on the client side whereas the Parameters window itself is handled
on the server side.
