    Pick a block item. Highlight triggers. Click on the green plus button. Look at the list of triggers. Pick one or more to create and write the code behind it.

    You can also use an item's property palette.

    There is no such trigger in 6i which will validate a value in the field as it is being input. Once the user has completely entered the value and try to navigate out of it, then only WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM will fire and validate the entire string that was input by the user.
