RE: Checking Values Within DSPF

just my 2 cents....it's much better to do your validation in the RPG than the 
DSPF.  Not to mention that with the DSPF in this case month = 02 & day = 31 is 
valid....which is not a truely valid date....

Thanks,

Subject: Checking Values Within DSPF


Hi All,

 

Can someone tell me if I can check a value in the DSPF instead of doing
the check using RPG code?

 

For example, I have an entry field for days and months.  I want to
ensure that the day entered is between 1 and 31 and the month is between
1 and 12 (these are two separate fields).  Can this be done in the
display file, or do I need to write some IF statement in my RPG code?

 

Thanks!

 

Brian.
