New and Old Values

I have the following questions.

Where :New and :Old reads the beign inserted or updated values from?
Can I gain access to this values from a procedure or function?

Thanks

Hi ,

i don't hink you can use :new and :old inside procedures and functions .its used in triggers .

Agreed!

Situation is following.
My procedure fires on "OnChange" event on one field.I want to give some values to fields in the same table there is the field that fires procedire.Because "OnChange" event doesn't commit the former changes, I cannot update them with standart Update.The following Update statement doesn't work, because empID doesn't exist in table.

Update ZBG_Ins_Corrections
set startday1=sday(1) --sday is collection variable
where empID=AEmpID --aempID is parameter of my procedure

That I want to know is whether exists the way to read the data that will be inserted into table like :New (or :Old) have this access?

thanks
