Testing the new manager
To test your new manager, build a window using the SDO that has the new version of rowObjectValidate. Either compile a static viewer for the SDO or recompile the dynamic viewer procedure ry/obj/rydynviewv.w to support your new behavior for all dynamic viewers. Add some records to the gsc_entity_field_edit table to define some edits for fields in the SDO. (These screen shots reflect the sample data entered using the procedure shown earlier in this section.)
Start the Session Type that uses the Field Edit Manager, and launch your window. The viewer should show the asterisk for each required field, as shown in Figure 7–7.
If you blank out a required field and attempt to save that change, an error message such as the one in Figure 7–8 appears.
If you enter a state code in lower case, it automatically changes to upper case on Save.
