Data Validation
Posted: Thu Jun 16, 2005 5:59 am
Hi
we have a situation where we need to validate the identification number we are getting from the source.The number is 17 characters in length and may contain alphanumeric characters.Now the number can have alphabets A-Z and 0-9 excluding I,O,Q.It should not contain any special characters like *,/.etc etc.
Can anyone provide me insight how this can be acheived via a routine or other means.The source is a flatfile.
Any help in this regard would be appreciated.
Thanks
