Why is field validation important?
Field validation, common to almost all Pick legacy applications, requires verifying that the user has entered valid data for one field before allowing the user to move to the next field. Applications written using field validation will not work unless the field validation is maintained, so a Pick legacy app redeployed as a GUI app must support field validation. In most client/server applications, especially web-based apps, field validation is difficult requiring JavaScript attached to each field, for example or impossible. AccuTerm GUI supports field validation transparently, with the validate event. The alternative to field validation stuff and submit is not considered a state-of-the-art method of entering data for enterprise or integrated applications.
