Chapter 2: Tabular Forms
Examples
Process a Tabular Form

When a tabular form is posted, the items in each record are available to PL/SQL code via the
"APEX_APPLICATION.G_Fnn" arrays. G_F01 corresponds to the first editable column, G_F02 to
the 2nd, and so on. For example, you can loop through each record and access the posted values
for each field as follows:

FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP

htp.p('Column A row '||I||' has a value of '||APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
htp.p('Column B row '||I||' has a value of '||APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(i));
END LOOP;

If the first column is a checkbox, only checkboxes that were checked will have an entry in the
array:

FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP

htp.p('Checkbox on row '||APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i)||' was checked');
htp.p('Column B on that row has a value of '
||APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i)));
END LOOP;
