3. To validate the fields before you save a definition, press Enter. If a required field is missing or if a field contains an incorrect value, you see an error message in the upper right corner of the panel. Press the HELP function key for more information about the error. If all required fields contain values and all fields contain valid values, you do not see an error message.
