Identifying the Symptom: FRM-40735 Error

When working with Oracle Forms in EBS, you might encounter the error message: FRM-40735: POST-QUERY trigger raised unhandled exception. This error typically appears during the execution of a form when a query is performed, indicating an issue with the POST-QUERY trigger.

What is a POST-QUERY Trigger?

The POST-QUERY trigger is a form-level trigger in Oracle Forms that executes after a query is performed on a block. It is often used to perform additional logic or calculations based on the queried data.

Explaining the Issue

The FRM-40735 error indicates that an exception was raised during the execution of the POST-QUERY trigger, and it was not properly handled. This can disrupt the normal flow of the application and prevent users from accessing the desired data.

Common Causes

Missing exception handling code in the trigger. Unexpected data values causing runtime errors. Incorrect logic or syntax errors within the trigger code.

Steps to Resolve the FRM-40735 Error

To resolve this error, follow these steps to implement proper exception handling in the POST-QUERY trigger:

1. Review the Trigger Code

Open the form in Oracle Forms Builder and navigate to the POST-QUERY trigger. Carefully review the code to identify any potential sources of exceptions, such as division by zero, null values, or invalid data types.

2. Implement Exception Handling

Add exception handling logic to the trigger to manage any potential errors. Use the EXCEPTION block to catch and handle exceptions gracefully. For example:

BEGIN -- Your existing logic hereEXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN -- Handle the exception MESSAGE('An error occurred: ' || SQLERRM); RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;END;

3. Test the Changes

After implementing the changes, test the form thoroughly to ensure that the error is resolved and that the trigger behaves as expected. Perform various queries to verify that exceptions are handled correctly.
