Hi

I have to validate a Alpha numeric Variable

If Numeric I have to perform Process-1
If Low-values I have perform Process-2
If Alpha Numeric I have perform process-3

For the Numeric and low-values I can use IS numeric and Low values
but for alpha numeric is there any option to find.

Thanks,

alpha numeric is a general class. besides, low-values is alphanumeric.

Hi

Above example is fine if the field does not contain special character or junk values .

But this field may contain Special character(A99@),
If this field contain Special character then I have to perform other Process.
So please let me know is there any other way to find.

Thanks

Hi,

Consider the file is converted from the TXT file.
So after reading we have moved the record to Alpha numeric field.

Now we have to check the Fields

If the field conatins only 0-9 then I have to do Process-1
If the field contains A-Z, a-z,0-9 or spaces then I have to do some process
If the field contains special character then I have to do some other Process

Thanks

Declare a CLASS for your requirement in the SPECIAL-NAMES. Check if the variable falls under that class. There are plenty of such examples in our forum.
Check below thread.
