Hi Aleksey,
If we go back to the scenario described in the original post, we do not add/insert records to that table. From what you and Jim say, I stil don't know if TABLEVALIDATE 2 will be any different than TABLEVALIDATE 0 for that scenario.
What I wanted is this: validate the header when you USE the table , BUT, do not trigger an error if the header cannot be locked, IOW do not assume anything if the validation cannot be performed. Wasn't this how things were in FPD/FPW?
