Hi Hemant, happy that i got a reply for this question. i don't get the right USER_ID,USER_NAME when i use FND_USER.USER_ID = FND_GLOBAL.VALUE('USER_ID') it returns "-1" as USER_ID and "ANONYMOUS" as USER_NAME . but this is not the expected result. i don't how to proceed and hence stuck here. Here is my query to ORACLE-L regarding this: http://www.orafaq.net/maillist/oracle-l/2004/08/21/1457.htm can u help me in this regard Hemant ? Any suggestion would be of immense help !
