You can also specify a custom status and set it as a parameter:

// server side: PHP, dhtmlxConnector
function validate($data){
    if ($data->get_value("some")=="") $data->set_status("my_status")
}
$conn->event->attach("beforeProcessing","validate");
 
// client side:
dp.defineAction("my_status",function(response){
    //your custom code
    return true;
})
