Re: AS400 object name validation ?

["Charlie Massoglia" <cmassoglia@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I make the field CHECK(VNE AB) and leave it blank if I want to default *JOBD
in the program.  I do the same thing for output queue.  If the user enters
anything, it must be a valid object name.  But they can blank out the field
without an error if they don't know how to correct a problem.
