Upper value

The upper value can be defined as a signed integer. This table shows validation actions.
Function Description
W Wait for corrective input from the user. The user can alter the incorrect field on the panel.
ADD The record is added to the file database through the index. If it already exists the record IS ignored.
Index The index number as defined in the PMSTYF99.DAT file.
S The input file format is based on semi-colon separated fields.
X Exclude the record if an error occurred. The entire record is skipped.
INS The record is inserted in the file database without using index. The indexes are generated later. This input method is faster than adding but requires unique records.
F The input file format is based on fixed positioned fields.
N No display. When reading the data file nothing is displayed on the screen - faster read.
REP The record is replaced in the file database if it exists.
DEL The record is deleted in the file database if it exists.
