REP003 - Validation Rules

Validation rules are enforced by business rules defined in the Repository. Rules which are defined in the field definition become global rules, meaning that they will be enforced in any file where the field is used. Most rules are defined in the file definition in which case they are enforced only in the context of that file. You will learn more about this feature in the exercise REP007 - File Validation Rules/Triggers.
