PK93663: All validatorFunctions are run in program even when there is a transfer to another program in one of the validatorFunctions

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Rational Business Developer V7.5.1.3:
  
  All validatorFunctions associated with modified form fields are
  run in a program even when there is a transfer to another
  program in one of the validatorFunctions.  The fields that are
  associated with the validatorFunctions are marked as modified
  either in the form or set in the program before the form is
  conversed.  This occurs the first time the form is conversed.
  
  For example, if a form has four variable fields defined, each of
  these fields is marked as modified in the form, each has a
  validatorFunction associated with it.  Let's say the functions
  are named function1, function2, function3 and function4.
  Based on the validationOrder, function1 should run first.
  function1 has a transfer to another program that is
  conditionally run.
  
  The first time the form is conversed, function1 should run and
  if the transfer to another program does occur, function2,
  function3 and function4 should not run.  If the transfer to the
  other program does not occur, then all four functions should run
  on the first converse.
  
  This problem occurs with both the EGL debugger and generated
  COBOL programs.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• TUI validation functions were running after one validation
  function did a transfer.
  

Problem conclusion

• Changed edit routine function to check for NOT
  EZESTK-RETURN-OFF after each validation function.
  

Temporary fix
