This event is fired when a filled-in field is about to be validated. (If the field is empty, FieldValidateNonExisting is fired instead.) It is fired at least once for all filled-in fields and can be fired several times if the field value is edited and validated repeatedly.
None.

Return value |
Description |
|
EV_OK |
Normal return. |
|
EV_OK_ABORT |
Causes FORMS internal field validation to be skipped. |
|
EV_ERROR |
Causes an error message and job termination. |
Could be used to implement specific field validations that cannot be performed by FORMS.
Fired in the Interpret and Verify modules.
This event is not fired if the field value contains an asterisk (*), which in FORMS represents an uninterpreted character. In other words, you cannot be sure this event is fired for all filled-in fields in Interpret, since some fields might contain uninterpreted characters. If you use VBA to set the field value in the FieldInterpret or FieldInterpreted events and still want FORMS to validate the value, make sure that the field value does not contain any asterisks.
