Create a validity lookup option in Format Control

Access the Format Control record for the form in which you want to invoke validity table processing. If a record does not already exist, you must create one. For information on how to access and use Format Control, see the related topics.

Click Tailoring > Format Control.
Type a Name and then click Search.

Service Manager opens a list of Format Control records.
Click the record you want to update to open it.
Click More or the More Actions icon and choose Additional Options, or click Addl Options in the form.

Enter the following field values:

Field	Value
Condition for Option	true
Option	Validity Lookup
Application	Application validate.fields
Error Message	The original record is displayed. Note: This is the recommended message. If this field is left blank, you will receive an unfriendly error message when you return to the data record.
Reset on Return	true

Enter the applicable parameters for validate.fields in the Name and Value fields using the information from the following table:

Field	Value
name	cursor.field.name()
second.file	$file
cond.input	val("true", 4) Note: The data passed to the Boolean parameter must be a type 4 (hence the VAL() statement for the Value). As an alternative, a $variable could be defined in the initialization expressions (for example $flag=true) and then passed to the subroutine.
