I have the following code in PL/SQL library under a procedure called MOD$WHEN_VALIDATE_ITEM trigger:
  IF GET_SYS_PARAM(NAME_IN('SCTN.BUSINESS_UNIT_ID'), 'CLASS_ID_VARCHAR2_IND') IN('N','Y',NULL)THEN
      IF NAME_IN('SCTN.CLASS_ID') = '0000' THEN
       MESSAGE('SANDEEP 4 ZEROS'); PAUSE;
       rams$msg_alert('2593', 'E', TRUE);
       RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;  
      ELSIF NAME_IN('SCTN.CLASS_ID') = '000' THEN
       MESSAGE('SANDEEP 3 ZEROS'); PAUSE;
        rams$msg_alert('2593', 'E', TRUE);
        raise form_trigger_failure;
      ELSIF NAME_IN('SCTN.CLASS_ID') = '00' THEN
       MESSAGE('SANDEEP 2 ZEROS'); PAUSE;
       rams$msg_alert('2593', 'E', TRUE);
       raise form_trigger_failure;  
      ELSIF NAME_IN('SCTN.CLASS_ID') = '0' THEN
       MESSAGE('SANDEEP single ZERO'); PAUSE;
       rams$msg_alert('2593', 'E', TRUE);
       raise form_trigger_failure;
      END IF;
 END IF; 
This code fires when I enter a class id (in the form) as '0000' or '000' or '00' or '0'. Basically we need to prevent the user from entering all 0's and then ensure that the user is not able to navigate the class id text box.

Everything works fine excepting RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE i.e. the alert is fired and then the cursor automatically navigates to the next text item.

I have tried a lot of options including GO_ITEM, but realised that this does not work in PL/SQL libraries as it is outside of the form. I am also new to Oracle forms.

My question is: is there any way to ensure that the cursor stays back in class id text box so that the user corrects this and only then navigates.Thanks in advance.

Why don't you just put this code in when-validate-item on class_id?

From what I recall, I have done that too i.e., put the logic in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger under item level and it does not even fire because the trigger's execution is set to 'AFTER'. In my opinion even if it's set to AFTER it should fire, but it just does not seem to.

I will try this again today and let you know.

That implies you have when-validate-item triggers at block or form level.
If so why?
What's in them?

I tried the whole thing again and it worked now. Here's what I had to do in order to get it to work:

a) remove the code written in the PL/SQL library and place the code at item level and then unit test it.

it works to my satisfaction but the bigger problem is, convincing my team lead that it's ok to move it from PL/SQL library to item level validation as the code written under FORM LEVEL (which subsequently calls the PL/SQL library) does not 'raise form_trigger_failure'.

There was no other way around this for me.

Yes, you are correct. There is a when-validate-item trigger at the form level. What it does is, it calls a procedure and the procedure is in PL/SQL library. Here is where I was encountering the issue. For whatever reason, the PL/SQL library was not 'RAISING' the error or trapping it. Hence I moved the code from PL/SQL library to item level of 'when-validate-item'.

That's not really answering the question.
I've never needed a form level WVI trigger and can't think of a good use for one.
Odds are whatever code you have in that trigger would be better in a different trigger, but without knowing what it's actually checking it's impossible to say.
