Re: [U2] SB Client - Disable TAB
Hi group,
At our side, we solve these problem with a system wide validation process
defined on all SBfields which check if mandatory fields sequentially defined
before the current field are empty.
If one is found it output a error message and exit with @RTN.FLAG =
{mandatoryfield} else it execute the validation expression for the current
field.
I'm ok with you, this is a trick that SB+ can do.
My two pence.
Manu
*--
For info :
@MAINFILE is the current datafile
@LINE1,18 is the current fieldname
@LINE1,1 is the current AMC value ; if negative this is a @WORK field
(ABS(@LINE1,1) is the AMC of @WORK
@CNT the current mv value
@PROC.NAMEx is the process names ... check 1,2,3,... until you found Readv
XXPROCESS1 = 'I' ; this is the input-process-defn
Read PROC.DEFN then
PROC.DEFN5 is the DICT.FILE where 'INPUT.DEFN' reside
PROC.DEFN6 is the DICT.FILE KEY of input.defn of the current screen
Read INPUT.DEFN FROM 'DICT ': PROC.DEFN5, PROC.DEFN6
Then LOCATE(@LINE1,18,INPUT.DEFN,15;POS)
Then check all field sequentially before the current
FOR I = 1 TO RG -1
IF INPUT.DEFN22,I = 'Y' THEN
Read field.defn from DICT.FILE,INUT.DEFN15,I
If field.defn2,1 0 then check @WORK else check @RECORD
IF field.defn2,2 0 then mv'ed else am'ed
Then check if the value is empty or not
If yes, output a error, rtn.flag = INPUT.DEFN15,I
END
NEXT I

Objet : [U2] SB Client - Disable TAB
This may be old news to most folks, but we have found that if a user
navigates through a GUI SB+ screen and uses their mouse to click on an
input, none of the logic tied to the prior inputs are run. This includes
being able to skip right past mandatory fields.
For example, a screen has 5 required inputs followed by 5 non-required
inputs. If the user is in input 2 and uses their mouse to click into
input 8, SB allows this to happen and the required fields and any
associated logic tied to inputs 2 through 7 are ignored.
This appears to be a huge SB bug. Sure we could fix it for a specific
screen, but that does nothing for the hundreds (or thousands) of other
screens.
Does anyone have a realistic solution to this condition?

Re: [U2] SB Client - Disable TAB
I think this is more of an issue with @WORK fields than @RECORD fields. In any case, perform a validation after screen accept if it's important. If it's important that the user not enter a field until other fields before it have been entered, bounce them out by using the process before field slot. -Original Message- From: u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:u2-users-boun...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of Israel, John R.

Re: [U2] SB Client - Disable TAB
Yeah, we could do that on a screen by screen basis, but that does not solve the overall problem. This is true in EVERY screen. The one screen that we found this on will be altered to do lots of additional tests to ensure the all required fields get filled properly. The fact that we are just now discovering this means that we do not have this issue very often, but it does appear to be a flaw.

Re: [U2] SB Client - Disable TAB
John, what you've described is a feature of the GUI; the ability to click through prompts in any order. If there are mandatory fields you shouldn't be able to save the record until those fields have a value, but if those fields are not mandatory the validation may never run. This can, of course, create some madness when you have a validation process or PA on a field that is setting up stuff for something to follow later. The short answer, though not a good one, is don't do that. In GUI each prompt has to be considered completely standalone knowing that anyone can click to it from anywhere. It's a completely different programming paradigm than what we have historically done with green screens. Oh, and it happens in character mode as well when the mouse is used to click through to fields. ___ U2-Users mailing list U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
