REP003 - Validation Rules

Validation rules are enforced by business rules defined in the Repository. Rules which are defined in the field definition become global rules, meaning that they will be enforced in any table where the field is used. Most rules are defined in the table definition. They are enforced only in the context of that table. You will learn more about Validation Rules in REP007 - Table Validation Rules/Triggers.
