procedure checkit
  parameters check
  save screen
  // Specify SAVEGETS() and CLEAR GETS before @...gets
  m_save=savegets()
  clear gets
  @0,1 get field4
  // Activate gets in validation procedure
  read
  // Reactivate reads in main screen form
  if not empty(field4)
      set validate on
  endif
  restgets(m_save)
  restore screen
return

@1,1 get field1
