Hi,
I want to display the current time in a text box (TIME) shown in the attachment. Can you guide me how to do it?
I tired putting code in the WHEN_NEW_INSTANCE trigger but did not know how to proceed
declare
a date := sysdate;
begin
?????
end;

Create a text item; its datatype should be DATE, and its "Initial value" property should be $$date$$.
If you insist on PL/SQL solution, put such a line:block_name.text_item := sysdate;
You don't need to DECLARE anything (as you are trying to).
P.S. Forgot to mention ... there's the "Format Mask" item property which should/might be set to display value accordingly to your needs (for example, dd.mm.yyyy or hh24:mi or ...). If you are going to display TIME, then initial value should be set to $$time$$ (instead of $$date$$). Or, even better, set it to $$datetime$$ and you'll have both date AND time.
