Parameters
groupcolumn_id Specifies the unique ID that Form Builder assigns when it creates the record
group column. Use the FIND_COLUMN built-in to return the ID to an
appropriately typed variable. The data type of the ID is GroupColumn.
groupcolumn_name Specifies the fully qualified VARCHAR2 record group column name you
gave the column when you defined it, preceded by the record group name
and a dot, as in recordgroup_name.groupcolumn_name. If the column was
defined as a result of a query, its name is the same as its corresponding
database column.
row_number Specifies the row from which to retrieve the value of the cell.
GET_GROUP_NUMBER_CELL restrictions
The row_number specified must be within the bounds implied by the number of rows in the record
group. A non-existent row_number results in an index out of bounds error.
