Answer

This function applies the content of the edit control to the primary buffer after validating the data. PowerBuilder applies the edit control content to the Primary buffer whenever user press tab or click on another column within the DataWindow. if the user change the value of a single column and doesn't press either tab or click on another column, PowerBuilder will not copy the changed data, that means the changes will not be applied in the database. Calling the AcceptText() function solves this problem. You can also specify to the Update() via argument to call AcceptText() internally before applying the changes to the database.
