Hello,

I would like a make a particular field as Mandatory in Forms. If a user tries to post a transaction without entering the Mandatory field, the application should display an error message. Can you help me on this?

Search for TESTFIELD function in C/SIDE Reference Guide.

You can also make use of an IF statement and make it display an error message.

Thanks for reply,

I tried your suggestions but it did not work out.

Let me explain the case. I need to make the state code in the vendor master as mandatory. If a user create a vendor record without the "State Code", the application should display an error. Can you help me on this?

Check how does "Vendor Invoice No." work when posting Purchase Invoice.
If you have check "Ext. Doc. No. Mandatory" in purchase setup then it will prompt error to fill this field.

Basically the steps are Oninsert the field "blocked" is set to TRUE!

Onvalidate of the blocked field (when the person goes to UNCHECK it to make it active)
it then checks the fields you want to have mandatory using a simple testfield code.

Basically in the on validate trigger of the "blocked" field you add code like

Testfield('My Field 1");
Testfield('My Field 2");
Testfield('My Field 3");
 etc.

This way when you try to unblock the vendor you won't be able to till you fill in the missing fields.
