The code block that processes the RowStatus assignment must check the data structure that represents that row of the table, and ensure that all relevant fields have a value. This would typically be handled within the ACTION pass. The one complicating factor is that this check can *only* be made after all the assignments in the same request have been applied. The easiest way to do this is to have a separate "consistency check" loop at the end of the ACTION pass, looking for RowStatus assignments of 'active(1)' or 'createAndGo(4)', and checking the corresponding row data structure. There's an example of this in the 'mibgroup/agent/extend.c' module.
