Query Operators
☞ Attention: To retrieve all the database records for a block, you can
bypass 1 and 2 and simply choose Run from the View, Query by
Example menu. This is referred to as a blind query. You can also
retrieve all the records for a block by choosing Find All from the
View, Query by Example menu.
4. Choose Cancel from the View, Query by Example menu if you
want to cancel from Enter Query mode.

Reviewing Records
After you perform a search, Oracle Applications retrieves any records
that match your search criteria. The status line shows a count of the
number of retrieved records currently displayed in the block and may
also display a question mark (?) if there are more retrieved records not
yet shown.
4 Customizing the
Presentation of Data
T his chapter discusses how you can customize the layout of your
data in a folder block.
This section teaches you how to use folders to present the data you
want and in particular, shows you how to:
• use the folder tools
• query records in a folder block

multi–record block. In a single–record block, move the current
field one character width to the left.
• Move Right—swap the current field with the field to its right in
a multi–record block. In a single–record block, move the current
field one character width to the right.
• Move Up—move the current field up by one character height for
a single–record display.
• Move Down—move the current field down by one character
height for a single–record display.

☞ Attention: When you save a folder, the query criteria gets “locked
in” to the folder. When you perform another query on that same
folder, your new query will only be performed on the subset of
records retrieved by the folder. If you want to perform a new
query–by–example on the complete set of records, you need to first
reset the query for the folder definition before performing another
query.
" Example
H Suppose you want to create a folder definition called Unposted
Batches in the Enter Journals folder block of your Oracle General
Ledger application. You want this folder definition to
automatically display unposted batch records. First choose Show
Field... from the Folder menu to show the Batch Status field, if it is
not already displayed. Next, choose Enter from the View > Query
by Example menu to perform a query–by–example. Enter the
value Unposted in the Batch Status field, then choose Run from the
View > Query by Example menu to retrieve all unposted batch
records.
The following illustration shows the Enter Journals window with
only the unposted batches displayed.
