Overview of Field Conditions

Field conditions define allowed values for fields. Conditions record both the values that a field may take and the meaning that the values represent.

Conditions can be used in a number of ways. The most common uses of conditions are:

• Validating the entry of data
• Specifying selection or omission of data from a logical view of the data
• Specifying the processing conditions in a program that operates on the data
