IF( ISNEW() , ISBLANK( AccountNumber ) , false)

This is a validation rule on account which checks enforces value in AccountNumber field on creation of account.

You can write a validation rule to check the value of DOB. The validation rule will check whether the record is newly created or an updated record by making use if ISNEW() function.

While creation, if value is missing it throws error and while updating, it will not throw any error even though it is blank.
