GOAL:
Is there any 'dynamic' BUFFER-VALIDATE() method for a buffer object?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
FIX:
No. Everything that can be done statically cannot always be done with the dynamic way. There are few exceptions like this one.
The VALIDATE statement and Database validation in the data dictionary are considered as a bit obsolete nowadays. Indeed it is advised to do validations on a temp-table first on client side, then do a commit in database table with a short transaction (buffer-create, buffer-copy buffer-release) so there is no real need of BUFFER-VALIDATE() method in this new world.
