Hi!,
We have a web-based ERP system with Oracle 9i & forms 6i. I am developing a form in which I want to check the uniqness of a field say EMPID on block level(multiple record block).

I have already written a code which checks the uniqness by nevigating the block in a loop but I wanted to know if any easy method (inbuilt??) available for this.

Thanks
Mayank

If I understood you correctly, you'd like to check whether data stored into (in your example) EMPID column in a block is unique or not.

If so, I'd rather put that kind of validation lower, into the database level and create a unique constraint which would (and, perhaps, should) take care about it. I prefer keeping such things in database, not application code.
