Need some ideas on List Item in Forms 6i!!

I have created a screen in Forms 6i. The screen has a list item, like a drop down, and message box field. I populate the list item with the employee's name on When-new-form-instance and then the user can type the message and save it. it works fine.

I am trying to add an option to allow user to send messages to all employees at once. I don't really know how to do it in a list item.

I want something like a drop down option for ALL STATES or individual states, somthing like that. I'm thinking , maybe, i need to create an object and use cast for my select statement.

I was just wondering if anyone has done something similar like this and can suggest a good approach to accomplish it in Oracle Forms 6i. We have Oracle 8i database. Thanks.

okay. I found a way to add an item and value to my list in Oracle Forms 6i.

Add_List_Element('EMPLOYEE.ACCOUNT_NUM', 1, 'ALL', 225145);

The difficult thing is how to assign multiple values to ALL. I created my own object but I can't assign it. Any help???
