Hi all,

On my form their is one text item. I have assign a format mask; as if I insert 100.30 then it will return 100.


e.g.
entered expected result
--------------------------------
1000.60 1001
100.20 100
500.90 501


I set format mask to 9999; when I entered 1000.50, it displays message i.e. FRM-40209: field must be of form 9999.

Please suggest me.

If you set a format mask, Forms expects you to enter values according to that format.

As you want to ROUND entered values, remove format mask from item's property andcreate a WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger on that item:
:block.item_name := round(:block.item_name);


[EDIT]

Oooops! Sorry, I didn't realize that it is an Apex form! In that case, remove format mask and create a dynamic action; its code would be similar to the Forms' trigger:
:ITEM_NAME := ROUND(:ITEM_NAME);

Which dynamic action to choose? PL/SQL or Set Value might be your choices.
