It's not difficult but you do have to concentrate. (A concept
unfamiliar to the MTV generation but a necessary life-skill
nonetheless.)

A quick Google on MTV and I'm none the wiser.

MTV is a cable channel in the States - Music TV, maybe - been around for years - MTV gen is considered to be those with short attention spans.

Sorry to explain that! ;-)

I am understanding, from the
example,
that AB and VNE are combined so that a blank is then
acceptable in a
zone with CHECK(VNE).
Unclear exactly what you mean by that sentence. AB will allow
the field to be completely blank. It will not allow it to
contain embedded blanks. Trailing blanks are always allowed.

Then I don't understand what 'CHECK(AB) is propagated to this field' means in the example.

Don't know this - no time to read the docs to figure it out right now.

text. What name?
The name being validated of course. The documentation states
this is the case:

Are you saying that the text entered in the field with CHECK(VNE) must be the name of an object on the system, or that the characteres entered must be characters that can be used in a name of an object on the system?
The docs say, I think, that the value has to be a valid name - not that it is an object on the system. A name is just a character string.
