Values removed from columns when required column empty and add new row


If you have the Required attribute set for a column in a Data Form or Data Table object within a SAS/AF FRAME entry and you leave the requiredcolumn blank but enter values for other columns on a new row, the valuesfor the other columns may be cleared out if you select to add another new row. You will receive an error message that values are required butthe values in the other columns may be removed.

To circumvent the problem, remove the required attribute and use model SCL with the _ERRORON_COLUMN_ and _ERROROFF_COLUMN_ methods to ensure the column is not left blank.
