Hello, I have for example two text items(number of records to display is set to 9). What I want is when i go to studentprofile block, it should automatically shows his subjects that are already taken up. the first text item is for 1st semester subjects and the other for 2nd semester.

here is the structure of my subjsec table:
ID number(1)
subj_code varchar2(10)
day varchar2(10)



and for subjects table:
subj_code varchar2(10)
description varchar2(50)
units number(1)
semester varchar2(10)


I restricted subjects that are in 1st sem. So i did something like this in my code:
DECLARE
	
   CURSOR studgrade_cur IS
      SELECT g.stud_id, g.grade, g.subj_code, s.description, s.units, s.semester
        FROM studgrades g , subjects s
         WHERE g.subj_code = s.subj_code
         	 AND g.stud_id = :Studentprofile.student_id;

         			
BEGIN
	
GO_BLOCK('STUDENTPROFILE');

FOR studgrade_rec IN studgrade_cur
LOOP
	:STUDENTPROFILE.student_id := :PARAMETER.param_student_id;
	:studentprofile.txtlname := :PARAMETER.param_lname;
	:studentprofile.txtfname := :PARAMETER.param_fname;
	:studentprofile.txtmname := :PARAMETER.param_mname;
	:studentprofile.rg_gender := :PARAMETER.param_gender;
	:studentprofile.course := :PARAMETER.param_course;
	:studentprofile.lstyearstatus := :PARAMETER.param_yearstatus;
	
	IF studgrade_rec.semester = '1st' THEN
	:STUDENTPROFILE.subjectname := studgrade_rec.subj_code;  
	:STUDENTPROFILE.description := studgrade_rec.description;
	:STUDENTPROFILE.units := studgrade_rec.units;
	:STUDENTPROFILE.grade := studgrade_rec.grade;
	NEXT_RECORD;
	END IF;
	
	IF studgrade_rec.semester = '2nd' THEN
	:STUDENTPROFILE.subj_2ndsem := studgrade_rec.subj_code;  
	:STUDENTPROFILE.desc_2ndsem := studgrade_rec.description;
	:STUDENTPROFILE.units_2ndsem := studgrade_rec.units;
	:STUDENTPROFILE.grade_2ndsem := studgrade_rec.grade;
	NEXT_RECORD;
	END IF;
END LOOP;
END;

Judging by the code you have a lot more than 2 text items.
Use messages to see if the loop is executed.

Why would it be populated? :STUDENTPROFILE.subj_2ndsem is populated in that record.

Why do you have one block for both semesters?
Wouldn't it make more sense to have a seperate block for each?

Either there aren't as many matching records as you think there are, or the first record has gone off the top of the screen.
There is a record counter at the bottom of the screen. How many records does it say you have?
You should also consider having an order by on the cursor.

Well not all the records fit on screen do they? I suggest you add some scroll bars.
I also suggest you completly split the code that populates the two blocks. So use two seperate cursors and a seperate loop for each.
At the moment the next_record is being done in the STUDENTPROFILE regardless of which block you just altered as that's where the cursor is.

As stated above, next_record applies to the block the cursor is in.
The cursor is in STUDENTPROFILE becuase you have a go_block that puts it there.
You need to move the cursor to the correct block with another go_block before you start ttrying to populate the other block.

Also you need to put the check of the semester value in the where clause of the cursor.

You need a navigable item.
You can add a new item and make its height and width 0 if you don't want to make the current ones navigable.

Is the item enabled?
Keyboard navigable?
Not a display item?

You need to learn to debug such code.
Put messages inside each for loop to display the subject code currently selected.
Also display system.cursor_record and system.current_block.
Work out exactly what it is doing at each point.

And add some scroll bars.

Balberde, which Forms version do you use? Topic title suggests 10g. If that's so, maybe it would be simpler to run a form in debug mode which is really informative and might help you fix the mistake you are making.

There is nothing obviously wrong in the code. So you need to debug it. We can't do that for you and it's a basic skill you need to learn.

You clicked on the stack ... why? How come you didn't click something else?

Anyway: first you have to set a breakpoint in a PL/SQL unit. Once form execution reaches that point, it will stop and open debugger console. Get familiar with what it offers.
Toolbar contains several debugging buttons; you are supposed to advance through your code step by step (i.e. line by line / statement by statement) and - using the debugger console - watch what has been done, what are system and user's variables values, collect knowledge which will - hopefully - lead you to solution of the problem.

As of SYSTEM variables you mentioned: they are explained in Forms Help System - open it, search, read.
