Answer / arya
Apart from doing multiple validation one thing u should
know about CHAIN ENDCHAIN statement is that they are
special key words which are processed by screen processor
not by abap processor and there is a separate flow logic
for them known as screen flow logic.

If the validation has to be done for more than one field the
those fields are included between chanin and endchain.
Ex
In PAI if you want to validate group of fields put in
chain and End chain statement .
You can declare fields in the chain enchain .
CHAIN.
FIELD chk_ABC.
FIELD chk_DEF.
FIELD chk_GHI.
FIELD CHK-JKL.
MODULE CHK_screenfields.
ENDCHAIN.
MODULE CHK_screenfields INPUT.
CLEAR okcode.
okcode = sy-ucomm.
CASE okcode.
WHEN 'ENTER' OR 'EXECUTE'.
IF chk_ABC IS INITIAL AND chk_DEF IS INITIAL AND CHK_GHI
IS INITIAL .
MESSAGE e000(zo_spa) WITH text-017. " Enter VALUES'
ELSE.
.....
ENDIF.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE. " modify_screenfields INPUT

Answer / hafeez
We can validate without chain endchain also but the thing is to avoid editable mode to input fields.
If I have 5 fields at input level if one of the field entered is error then renaming fields turn to edible mode to avoid this we are using chai endchain
