If MainTbl is not an Oracle table, this will always fail. You might try limiting the number of invoices the user can retrieve line items for to 1 invoice at a time. Then change the select to create a parameterized view:

SELECT invc_ln.invc_ln_no, invc_ln.invc_no;
    FROM PROD.invc_ln invc_ln;
    WHERE invc_ln.invc_no = ?nInvc_No

Then all you have to do is:

use invc_ln_view nodata

*-- initialize the parameter for the view when you actually need to populate the view with data

local nInvc_No
nInvc_No = ThisForm.txtInvoiceNo.Value && convert to numeric if necessary
requery(Invc_Ln_View)
ThisForm.Refresh()
