<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Validity checking</h4><p>Use
CHECK at the field level to specify that the <span class="keyword">i5/OS™</span> operating
system or the device is to check the validity of the data typed into an input-capable
(input-only or input/output) field.</p>
<div class="p">CHECK validates the data by applying
one or more edit/check algorithms against the data. An error message is displayed
if a specified edit/check algorithm is not satisfied. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> See the <a href="rzakcmstdfchkme.htm">CHKMSGID (Check Message Identifier) keyword for display files</a> topic for information about defining user-specified

<p>The valid edit/check codes are:</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Edit/Check code</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>Meaning</strong></dd>
<dt class="dlterm">AB</dt>
<dd>Allow blanks <p>Use this code at the file, record, or field level to allow
all-blank input to satisfy validity checking for an input-capable field should
any associated validity check fail. This enables the passing of data to the
program when the workstation user has positioned the cursor to the field but
left it blank (for instance, by pressing the Erase Input key, the Field Exit
key, or the spacebar). For example, FLD1 is an input-capable field with CHECK(M10
ME) in effect. If the workstation user accidentally types into the field,
the M10 algorithm must be satisfied. Specifying (CHECK(M10 ME AB)) allows
the display station user to blank the field to satisfy validity checking.</p>
<p>When
specified at the file level, this keyword applies for all input-capable fields
in the file for which a validity checking keyword is coded. Likewise, when
specified at the record level, this keyword applies for all input-capable
fields in the record for which a validity checking keyword is coded. At the
field level, always specify this keyword with another validity checking keyword
(CHECK(M10, M10F, M11, M11F, VN, VNE), CHKMSGID, COMP, RANGE, or VALUES).</p>
<p>CHECK(AB)
should not be specified if SFLROLVAL or SFLRCDNBR is also specified for the
field.</p>
<p>CHECK(AB) can be used in database files for reference purposes.</p>
<p>When
you consider using CHECK(AB) with other validity checking functions, note
that processing occurs in the following order:</p>
<ol><li>Any of the following order: <ol type="a"><li>The keyboard shift attribute specified in position 35 (such as alphanumeric
shift or numeric only) can restrict input typing to certain characters.</li>
<li>If the keyboard shift attribute is numeric shift, the data type (character
or numeric) is set by the entry in positions 36 through 37 (decimal positions)
and restricts input typing to certain characters.</li>
<li>The CHECK(FE), CHECK(MF), and CHECK(ME) keywords, if specified, restrict
input typing.</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Either of the following order: <ol type="a"><li>If CHECK(AB) is specified, data management passes the input data to the
program (blanks for a character field and zeros for a numeric field). No further
validity checking is done.</li>
<li>If CHECK(AB) is not specified, data management performs the following
validity checking functions before passing the data to the program: CHECK(VN),
CHECK(VNE), CHECK(M10), CHECK(M10F), CHECK(M11), CHECK(M11F), COMP(. . .),
RANGE(. . .), VALUES(. . .).</li>
</ol>

<p>You cannot specify the CHECK(AB) keyword on a floating-point field
(F in position 35).</p>
<p>Option indicators are not valid for this keyword.</p>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">ME</dt>
<dd>Mandatory enter <p>This code specifies that at least 1 character of data
(a blank is valid) must be typed into the field. Note that when no field currently
on the display has been changed, the display station does not enforce mandatory
enter. To enforce mandatory enter, specify DSPATR(MDT) for at least one field
in each record on the display. For all other fields in the record, CHECK(ME)
is then enforced. However, because the device cannot determine if the user
has typed data to a field with both DSPATR(MDT) and CHECK(ME), you should
also specify DSPATR(ND) so that this field is not displayed.</p>
<p>Option

<dt class="dlterm">MF</dt>
<dd>Mandatory fill <p>This code specifies that if any part of the field is
altered, each position in the field must have a character entered in it. Blanks
are considered valid characters.</p>

<dt class="dlterm">M10/M10F or M11/M11F (IBM<sup>®</sup> Modulus 10 or Modulus 11 Algorithm)</dt>
<dd>IBM Modulus
10 self-check algorithm <p>This code specifies that data typed into the field
must satisfy the IBM Modulus 10 (M10 or M10F) or Modulus 11 (M11 or M11F)
self-check algorithm. When you specify CHECK(M10) or CHECK(M11), the self-check
verifies that the field has a valid Modulus 10 or Modulus 11 number when you
press the Enter key or a function key. When you specify CHECK(M10F) or CHECK(M11F),
the self-check verifies that the field has a valid Modulus 10 or Modulus 11
number as the user types the data into the field. You cannot specify both
the Modulus 10 and the Modulus 11 self-check algorithms for the same field
or both formats of the same algorithm for the same field.</p>
<p>A self-check
field is composed of two parts: the base number and one check digit. The check
digit is the farthest right digit in the field. The base number and the check
digit together make up a field in your database (for example, an account number).
The following figure is an example of an 8-digit self-check field.</p>
<br /><img src="rsll637.gif" alt="In the figure, a 7-digit number&#xA;(6371257) is followed by a check digit of 1." /><br /><div class="p">See the <a href="../books/sc415715.pdf" target="_blank">Application Display
Programming book</a><img src="wbpdf.gif" alt="Link to PDF" /> for information about how to use CHECK(M10), CHECK(M10F), CHECK(M11),
and CHECK(M11F). <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ol><li>The <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating
system supports a maximum length of 31 digits for numeric fields.</li>
<li>You cannot specify the CHECK(M10), CHECK(M10F), CHECK(M11), and CHECK(M11F)
keywords with the COMP(EQ) keyword.</li>
<li>You cannot specify the CHECK(M10), CHECK(M10F), CHECK(M11), and CHECK(M11F)

</ol>
</div>
</div>
<p>For each position in the base number, there is a Modulus
10 weight factor and a Modulus 11 weight factor. Positions are counted from
the farthest right digit (not including the check digit).</p>
<p>The
Modulus 10 weight factor is 2 for positions 1, 3, 5, …, 31. It is 1 for positions
2, 4, 6, …, 30. The Modulus 11 weight factors are 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6, 7,…, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2 for positions 1, 2,…, 31.</p>
<p>To calculate
the Modulus 10 self-check digit, do the following tasks:</p>
<ol><li>Multiply the units position and every alternate position of the base number
by 2.</li>
<li>Add the digits in the products to the digits in the base number that were
not multiplied.</li>
<li>Subtract the sum from the next higher number ending in zero.</li>
</ol>
<p>The difference is the self-check digit.</p>
<p>For
example:</p>
<pre>Base number: 6 1 2 4 8
Units position and every alternate position: 6 2 8
Multiply by the weight factor, 2: x2 x2 x2
Products: 12 4 16
Digits not multiplied: 1 4
Add the digits of the products and the digits
from the base number that were not used for
multiplication: ( 1 + 2 ) + 4 + ( 1 + 6 ) + 1 + 4 = 19
Next higher number ending in 0: 20
Subtract: -19
Self-check digit: 1</pre>
<p>To
calculate the Modulus 11 self-check digit, do the following tasks:</p>
<ol><li>Assign a weight factor to each digit position of the base number. These
factors are: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2, 3, . . . starting with
the units position of the number and progressing toward the high-order digit.
For example, the base number 991246351 can be assigned the weight factors
as follows: <pre>Base number 9 9 1 2 4 6 3 5 1
Weight factors 4 3 2 7 6 5 4 3 2</pre>
</li>
<li>Multiply each digit by its weight factor.</li>
<li>Add the products.</li>
<li>Divide this sum by 11.</li>
<li>Subtract the remainder from 11.</li>
</ol>
<p>The difference is the self-check digit.</p>
<div class="p">For example: <dl><dt class="dlterm">Base number</dt>
<dd>1 3 7 3 9</dd>

a character (including a blank) into the last position of the field, the record
is sent from the device just the same as if the Enter key had been pressed.
If you also specify DSPATR(SP) for the field, the record is sent from the

The cursor remains under the low-order character position of the field until
a valid field exit key has been pressed, even though that character has been
typed in. If the user presses any other key, an error results.</p>
<p>If you

the workstation user keys in the characters (uppercase or lowercase) is the
way the characters appear on the display and are returned to your program.</p>
<p>If
you want to specify CHECK(LC) for all the character input-capable fields in

<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Cursor control</h4><p>When
the CHECK keyword is used with a cursor control code, it specifies that the
cursor is to move from right to left. This feature is designed for languages
where information is read right to left.</p>
<p>the <span class="keyword">i5/OS</span> operating
system does not ensure that right-to-left files are opened only for display
stations capable of right-to-left cursor movement. Therefore, all workstations
in the same system should be configured with the same language capability
and with the same right-to-left capability.</p>
<p>The valid cursor control
codes that can be specified for cursor control are:</p>
<dl><dt><strong>Cursor control code</strong></dt>
<dd><strong>Meaning</strong></dd>
<dt class="dlterm">RL</dt>
<dd>Right-to-left cursor movement within fields <p>Use the CHECK(RL) keyword
at the file, record, or field level to specify that the cursor should move
from right to left within input-capable character fields. At the file level,
specifying CHECK(RL) makes the cursor move from right to left in all input-capable
character fields in the file. At the record level, specifying CHECK(RL) makes
the cursor move from right to left in all input-capable character fields in
the record. At the field level, specifying CHECK(RL) makes the cursor move
from right to left in only the field with which it is associated.</p>
<p><strong>Example
2:</strong></p>
<p>The following example shows how to specify the CHECK(RL) keyword
at the file level.</p>
<pre>|...+....1....+....2....+....3....+....4....+....5....+....6....+....7....+....8
00010A CHECK(RL)
00020A R DSPLY
A</pre>
<p><strong>Example 3:</strong></p>
<p>The following example shows how
to specify the RL cursor control with edit check.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If you want to specify the RL cursor control code
with an edit/check code, you can do so only if the edit/check code is valid
at the level you specify. In the example above, CHECK(RL AB) is specified
at the record level because AB is valid at that level. CHECK(RL MF) is specified
at the field level because MF is valid only at that level.</div>
</dd>
<dt class="dlterm">RLTB</dt>
<dd>Right-to-left, top-to-bottom cursor movement from field to field <div class="p">Use
the CHECK(RLTB) keyword only at the file level. It specifies the direction
the cursor is to advance from input-capable field to input-capable field.
CHECK(RLTB) specifies that on exiting from a field, the cursor advances by
moving from right to left and from top to bottom of the display until it reaches
the next input-capable field. You can specify the RLTB cursor control code
with only the edit/check code AB, as the others are not valid at the file
level. <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> Specifying CHECK(RLTB) does not change which input-capable field
the cursor is positioned in when the display initially appears.</div>

<li>Katakana cannot be used with right-to-left support.</li>
<li>CHECK(RL) and CHECK(RLTB) cannot be specified with user-defined records

<li>CHECK(RL) applies only to character fields.</li>
<li>You cannot specify the CHECK(RB) or CHECK(RZ) keyword on a field containing
the WRDWRAP keyword.</li>
