When you leave a processing unit in a FORM, such as a block or a field, for instance, FORMS performs the validation defined for it, unless you explicitly state that you don't want it to happen. So, a required field missing would not be allowed to stay missing; dates should be valid and all validation triggers would have to succeed. Your ...(NO_COMMIT) statements just say that you don't want things posted and commited to the database, but they do not state that you don't want validation processing to take place. Use EXIT_FORM (NO_VALIDATE) if you want to bypass validation processing.
