When you generate a Java program or run the EGL Debugger,
the validateBlankDateFields build descriptor
option specifies whether to identify an error in the following case:
the dateFormat property is in effect for
a field in a text form, but the user set the field to blank.
Here are further details:
- In the form, a numeric field or a field of type CHAR has a setting
for the dateFormat property. That setting
restricts what input is valid.
- The user updates the field but then clears it; for example, by
backspace, Delete key, or blanks. In any of those cases, the submitted
field contains only blanks.
Values
- YES (the default value)
- The EGL runtime code returns an error to indicate that the field
value does not match the setting for the dateFormat property.
- NO
- The EGL runtime code accepts the input.
