Tabular Form Validation - Save Correct Values

Question

I'm using Denes' example of tabular form validation. It finds the errors and displays the error messages, but I lose any values that were entered correctly. Do I need to use a collection to save them? I've been looking through older posts and one comment was that you'd only need a collection if you wanted to show the user the values they entered incorrectly. With Denes' logic it tells them what line had the error and what the original value was.
DECLARE
  l_error   VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
   FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f02.COUNT
   LOOP
      IF NOT TO_DATE (apex_application.g_f05 (i), 'YYYY')
            BETWEEN   TRUNC (TO_DATE (apex_application.g_f04 (i),'YYYY'))
                 AND  TO_DATE ('2008','YYYY')     THEN
                  l_error :=   l_error
                    || '</br>'
                    || 'Row '
                    || i
                    || ': Photo Inspection Year has to be greater than Date On Map and less than 2008 for '
                    || ' Map: '
                    || apex_application.g_f02 (i)
                    || '<br> Requested date: '
                    || apex_application.g_f05 (i);
      END IF;
      IF NOT TO_DATE (apex_application.g_f04 (i), 'YYYY')
            BETWEEN   TO_DATE ('1890','YYYY')
                 AND  TO_DATE ('2008','YYYY')     THEN
                  l_error :=   l_error
                    || '</br>'
                    || 'Row '
                    || i
                    || ': Date on map has to be between 1890 and 2008 for '
                    || ' Map: '
                    || apex_application.g_f02 (i)
                    || ' <br>Requested date: '
                    || apex_application.g_f04 (i);
      END IF;
   END LOOP;
   RETURN LTRIM (l_error, '</br>');Thanks,

It doesn't make sense to post your questions within a closed thread - start you own thread.
It is possible to do that but you would need to save your data into a collection to keep the changes and display the error message on the same page.
