Using a stored procedure for validation/conversion. (OpenInsight Specific)

I am using a stored procedure for validation & conversion on an editline. I want to use the same procedure for numerous editlines in the same application, without having to modify the code to reflect the specific editline's name.
What is the best way to obtain the control name of the object that contains the data that the validation/conversion is being done on? I have tried to use FOCUS, but that always returns the control name of the next object in the tab order. Thanks.

Greg,
I'm going off the top of my head so I don't know if this is the best way or not. You could create a promoted LOSTFOCUS event and in that set a user-defined propery (i.e. @PREVFOCUS) with the name of the current control. Then your validation code would retrieve it when necessary.

Lostfocus will have next and gotfocus will have current.
In the case of LostFocus you could look at the ctrlmap and see what the previous ctrl in the list was .. yes?

I believe we did something like this in an earlier incarnation but found that all controls with tab order gotfocus .. so that a label might be the last ctrl.
But this was a long time ago so ..

Greg,
I'm puzzled why you need to know details about the control for the SSP.
Why can you not use the square brackets UDC eg
MY_VALIDATION_CONVERSION,branch
see examples as in Telephone conversion etc.
The UDC would go in place of other conversions, such as date etc
