I didnt get you correctly

If you needed Alphabets,numbers and special chars to be allowed then why check it?

As Pandora has said, why do any verification in the panel.

I usually use the VER and IF statements for only rudimentary checking.

The best place for verification of data entry is in the control program that displays the panels. Far more flexible than ISPF allows.

Or you could use a Rexx verification within the panel.
