Input Verification

Data entered on a map is compared to values in an edit table. Correct values for the sample DEPT data field are listed in an edit table. Operator input is validated against values in the edit table. (An edit table can contain either correct or incorrect values for a field.) For example, the term SALES is determined to be incorrect based on the edit table for the field; the dialog or program redisplays the error and asks the operator to correct the value.
