Hi, I hope you can help.
I use a call_form and execute_query to populate a form with a global_id. The form populates correctly, but what I would like to do is change the data (example name) in the text field and then insert the changes as a new record in the base table, but not update the record that I just modified.
So if I change the name from Sally to John, I would like the John record to be inserted into the table as a new record (I can do this) but I want the Sally record to remain unchanged in the table.
Is this possible ?
Thanks in Advance,
Dand

Ok You do this by:
Create a dummy item to store old value.In When New Record Instance store the old value in the dummy item.
Then in Pre-Update of the block First insert the record in the table with insert statement then restore back the original value which is stored in dummy item.
When-New-Record-Instance
:dummy := :ename ;
Pre-Update
insert into emp (empno ,ename , deptno) values
(:empno , :ename :deptno) ;
:ename := :dummy ;
