- For a given field in a V3 form I would like **simple** way of constructing
- a LOV such that I could display within the LOV some hard-coded values.
-
- i.e. :
- ====
-
- For a field that accepts only 'Y' or 'N' as input I would like these values
- to appear within the fields LOV.
-
- This seems a simple thing to do, but using a select such as
-
- SELECT 'Y', 'N'
- INTO :my_field
- FROM system.dual
-
- within the field definition screen gives a concatenation of Y and N within
- the LOV.
-
- I have tried various other methods, but all to no avail.
-
- Does anyone know of a simple way of doing this ?
-
- By simple I mean little or no maintenance overheads ( i.e. no temporary
- tables, etc ), and if possible a solution consisting soley of the LOV select
- text.
-
- OK, I know these values are hard-coded and thus could go in the database, but
- its just one of those things that has been bugging me.
-
- Cheers
