Constraining values
hi folks,
i have a rather tricky requirement. i have a need to constrain user-entered values within a concurrent program's parameter such that the value *should not* be a duplicate.
we are in the process of creating a custom concurrent program. when a user selects this program to be submitted, a few parameters will need to be entered. amongst them is a parameter - Shipment Number. now that parameter's flexfield should prevent the user from submitting a value that have already been used as a Shipment Number in an earlier transaction (i can look it up using a value set or some such). essentially, this could be a free-text or value-set field that just needs to ensure that the value is not a duplicate based a check of preexisting records
