Hi,
system.current_block-
This value depends on current navigation unit.
If this unit is block,record or item(as in Pre- and Post-Item, Record, and block triggers),
the value if system.current_block is the name of the block that oracle forms is processing
or that cursor is in.
if current navigation unit is form(as in Pre- and post form triggers) then the value of
system.current_block is null.
The value is always a character string.

system.cursor_block -
This value depends on current navigation unit.
If this unit is block,record or item(as in Pre- and Post-Item, Record, and block triggers),
the value if system.current_block is the name of the block where the cursor is located.
if current navigation unit is form(as in Pre- and post form triggers) then the value of
system.current_block is null.
The value is always a character string.

system.trigger_block -
Represents the name of block where cursor was located when the current trigger was initially
fired. The value is null if the current trigger is a pre- or post form trigger.
Value is always a character string.

All the best.

Ani
