ACCEPT is an optional attribute that you can use to validate data as it is entered into a field from a MODIFY procedure. The ACCEPT test is applied immediately after a FIXFORM is processed after which subsequent COMPUTE statements can manipulate the value. By including ACCEPT in a field declaration, you can define a list or range of acceptable field values. In relational terms, you are defining the domain.
Note: Suffix VSAM and FIX data sources may use the ACCEPT attribute to specify multiple RECTYPE values, which are discussed in Describing a Sequential, VSAM, or ISAM Data Source.
