app_field.clear_dependent_fields

可以调用APP_FIELD.clear_dependent_fields和APP_FIELD.set_dependent_field来将两个（或多个）Item建立关联，当一个为空时，另一个不可录入，反正，可录入，且父Item Field变化时，子Fields清空。
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APP_FIELD.clear_dependent_fields(
                            master_field VARCHAR2,
                                 field1       VARCHAR2,
                                 field2       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field3       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field4       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field5       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field6       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field7       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field8       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field9       VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
                                 field10      VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
实现：如果master_field为空，则清空后续所有fieldn.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
APP_FIELD.set_dependent_field(
                              even                   VARCHAR2,
                              master_field        VARCHAR2,
                              dependent_field  VARCHAR2,
                              invalidate            BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)
实现：如果master_field为空，则dependent_Field的ENTERABLE为PROPERTY_OFF;
          反之， 如果master_field不空，则dependent_Field的ENTERABLE为PROPERTY_ON。
          event可以为'..VALIDATE..','INIT','PRE-RECORD', 'WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE','POST-QUERY'。
这个Procedure其实调用了另外一个Procedure
APP_FIELD.set_dependent_field(
                           event                   VARCHAR2,
                           condition             BOOLEAN,
                           dependent_field  VARCHAR2,
                           invalidate            BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE)
条件condition为(name_in(master_field) is not null)
