Currently in BIRT the validate function throws an error if the function
returns a false statement:
if( paramval == notwhatitshouldbe ){
false;
}else{
true;
}
Generally the error is not very useful so you may just want to set a
variable in the validate parameter and use it in the report to forward.
Take a look at the attached report for an example.
