The following fields will have edits when used on a dynamic form:

• If a column has a DATA_TYP of STATE in DR_ORD_OPT_TYP, the entry will appear as a drop-down list with all of the US states, territories, and insular areas spelled out. When one is selected, the standard two-character postal abbreviation is stored in the table.
• If a column has a DATA_TYP of NUMERIC in DR_ORD_OPT_TYP, the data entered by the user is checked to ensure that there are no invalid characters. It allows either all numbers or spaces. No alpha or special characters are allowed.
• If a column has a DATA_TYP of DATE in DR_ORD_OPT_TYP, the data is masked to force the format MM/DD/YYYY and checked to verify that it is a valid date. For example, 02/31/1995 is not a valid date, even though it is numeric and in the correct format.
• For a DATA_TYP of AREACODE, the data is masked to force the format ###.
• For a DATA_TYP of PHONENUM, the data is masked to force the format ###-####.
• For a DATA_TYP of ZIP5, the data is masked to force the format #####.
• For a DATA_TYP of ZIP4, the data is masked to force the format ####.
• For a DATA_TYP of SSN, the data is masked to force the format ###-##-####.
• In any cases where there are special characters in the display mask on the page, the characters are removed before saving to the SR_ORD table. Also, the date is reformatted to the format YYYYMMDD before saving.
• For a DATA_TYP of EMAIL, the data is checked to ensure that it fits a standard email format. It must have at least one character before an “@” symbol, at least one character between the “@” and the final period, and at least two characters after the final period. For example, the smallest email address that would be considered valid is a@b.cd. There can be multiple periods in the address (e.g., first.last@email.net).
• If a column has an HTML_TYP of DROPDOWN and includes the name of a lookup table, lookup ID, and value fields, the drop down is populated from that table.
• If a column has an HTML_TYP of RADIO_YN, it displays as Y N.
• If a column has an HTML_TYP of TEXT, and a FLD_LEN is given, the text entered into the field is limited to the number of characters specified in FLD_LEN.
