Hi Guys!

How can I change the status of the block to any value like 'CHANGED'?
My requirement is -- I am not changing any data on form and issuing a commit so I am getting 'No changed to save' message dialog. I want to avoid that. I found a solution that using STANDARD.COMMIT will suppress that message. But I think if the property :SYSTEM.block_status is 'CHANGED', it will still suppress the message. So is there a way I can change to set the value of that property?

Thanks

You should change record status, not block status. Have a look at Forms Online Help system and search for SET_RECORD_PROPERTY; here's an example:
set_record_property(:system.trigger_record, :system.trigger_block, status, changed_status);

If you're getting that message then no database items in the form have been changed so forms can't generate a standard insert/update statement to send to the DB. So what changes do you expect to get saved?

I am changing something on the form, in fact several fields on the form but which are not database items. I am using insert statement to pick the values from these fields and insert in some table. For example, f1 and f2 are two fields which are database items, f3 is a non-database item which may or may not change depending upon f1 and f2. If its changed it has to go to some table which is not related to form in any way.
