I think there's either a form or block property that has something to do with validating mandatory fields as you go along or when you leave the record. Not sure but that might have something to do with it. See if you can find that property and turn it on/off and see if that helps.

We've also used exit_form(no_validate) but w/o the full_rollback you're using - try that too.

If neither of the above work, try this:

Begin

   if :SYSTEM.RECORD_STATUS = 'INSERT' THEN

      clear_record;
   end if;
   Exit_form(no_validate, full_rollback); End;

Good luck,
