Hey Fellas,

In a 6i form I have a post-change trigger on a field which has an alert "CAUTION_1". I have two variables "V_GRNDATE" "V_ITEMCODE" , whose values, I want to include in that alert message. In a normal message its easy and syntax would be like

message('Last GRN date was '||V_GRNDATE||' with item code '||V_ITEMCODE);

How to add this personalized message with variables in an alert and what would be the syntax?

You really need to learn how useful and comprehensive form builder help is.
Open up the property palette for the alert.
Click on the property that you need to set.
Press F1
Read the help topic - it'll tell you if the property can be modified at all and what code you need to use to do it, with examples.

If I recall, at least in Windows 7, the help facility is different than windows 95, which was when forms 6i I think came out. Hitting F1 would give an error in Forms 6i on windows 7.

Shows how long it's been since I did actual forms development.
I assume that the contents of help is still the same and it's just the access keys that have changed?

Let's see what Mr. Gates says. I could be wrong and maybe it was the setup I had, but I remember something about an error message saying that the help system was not compatible with the current OS.
