ALPHABETIC-LOWER:
Identifier consists entirely of any combination of the lowercase alphabetic characters a through z and the space.
ALPHABETIC-UPPER:
Identifier consists entirely of any combination of the uppercase alphabetic characters A through Z and the space.

These values can be used only in the format:
identifier-1 [IS] [NOT] ALPHABETIC-LOWER
identifier-1 [IS] [NOT] ALPHABETIC-UPPER

which is called a "class condition"
