Use this code as the field's custom validation script:

if (event.value) {
    var parts = event.value.split("/");
    if (parts.length==2) {
        var v1 = Number(parts[0]);
        var v2 = Number(parts[1]);
        if (!isNaN(v1) && !isNaN(v2)) {
            if (v1>=160 && v2>=100) app.alert("High Blood Pressure!",1);
            if (v1<=90 && v2<=60) app.alert("Low Blood Pressure!",1);
        }
    }
}

If this is going to be used for anything important, consider adding additional validations to catch erroneous inputs. For example, check to make sure the values are within a reasonable range (e.g., 50-300 / 20-200), that systolic is greater than diastolic, etc.

That might be kind of difficult if you're using just a single field for the systolic and diastolic values. If you use separate fields, it becomes easier, and easier to validate entries, since they will be numbers instead of a string that you have to parse to extract the two values. Also, would both values have to exceed their respective upper limits (e.g., 161/101) to be considered too high, or just one (e.g., 161/99)?

greetings Mr. George

thanks for your reply

unfortunately the feild should be one only not more, for the value if both exceeded the limit is acceptable
