When external validation routines are implemented, you can select Save interpret information in the Advanced dialog. (In the Field dialog, click the Advanced tab.) FORMS then saves additional information about the interpretation of each character within the field. The data consists of:
Possible alternatives for the interpreted value
The confidence (probability) level of these alternatives
The positions of the characters in the field
You can then access this information through methods contained in event handlers. For more information, refer to FORMS API Help. (For example, look up save interpret information in the index.)
No interpretation (related to setting field value externally)
