Control is Exited

When the user leaves the control (such as by pressing the Tab key), the system validates the control and saves the value to memory. A number of events are fired during this process.

Data validation consists of ensuring that the value meets any established criteria for the DD item upon which it is based, including size, type, and so forth. Additionally, runtime compares the current value of the control with the value of the control before it started the exit process. If the value has changed, then it fires two additional events.
