Types of data tables

Some types of data tables are for run-time validation; specifically, to hold data for comparison against form input. (You relate the data table to the input field when you declare the form part.) Three types of validation data tables are available:

matchValidTable
The user's input must match a value in the first data-table column.
matchInvalidTable
The user's input must be different from any value in the first data-table column.
rangeChkTable
The user's input must match a value that is between the values in the first and second column of at least one data-table row. (The range is inclusive; the user's input is valid if it matches a value in the first or second column of any row.)

The other types of data tables are as follows:

msgTable
Contains run-time messages.
basicTable
Contains other information that is used in the program logic; for example, a list of countries and related codes.
