Question

I am creating one interactive report in that, i have a column of remarks which is an apex text item..
Now i want to update the text item values in table for remarks column.
- Here is my interactive report query:
select CUST_ID,
CHEQUE_AMOUNT,
(APEX_ITEM.TEXT(REMARKS))
from PDC_STATUS_HISTORY
where STATUS in ('Pending')
AND APPROVER_BY=NVL(SYS_CONTEXT('APEX$SESSION','APP_USER'), USER);
Now i need to update the remarks column into table

Answer 1

You will be able to do that manually, but involves a lot of coding.
Instead of going into that direction, my advices is to (if possible for you) 'upgrade' the Interactive Report into an Interactive Grid. It looks the same and therefore your users will recognise it and feel comfortable, but now you will be able to edit (certain) values as well. That way, most of the coding comes out-of-the-box by APEX.
Interactive Grid:
Add a new page using the wizard
Choose Interactive Grid as the page/region type
Enter following query as the source
select CUST_ID,
CHEQUE_AMOUNT,
REMARKS
from PDC_STATUS_HISTORY
where STATUS in ('Pending')
AND APPROVER_BY = NVL( SYS_CONTEXT('APEX$SESSION','APP_USER'), USER);
Specify CUST_ID as the primary key and read-only
Specify CHEQUE_AMOUNT as read-only
Hope this answer is useful to you! Let me know.
