What exactly is your requirement? Can you specify that as there are various other functions available apart from the more common ones like is_valid(as you had mentioned) is_null is_blank and is_defined. Besides which there are comparison operators available like any other programming language.

Hi you can achive this by using one component called record validation... it will use only if u want to validate the input record... if you want to validate field lavel values then there are some functions are available in the Ab Initio like is_valid (to check whether your filed contains proper value or not) is_blank (it will be used when you want to check the field contains any blank value or not) is_null(it will check the fields values contains any null value or not) etc...regards mahendra
