Hi,
I just want to say that Mahesh suggestion is definitely the way to go.
The FLTR-Run-If (with a possible ACTL-shadow) should read:
('Field' LIKE "%[^A-Za-z0-9-_]%")
And then give you an appropriate error message.
This should work on any DB, as it has nothing to do with the database, it
is eva
happening is if even a single character is TRANSLATE'ed to NULL
the whole string gets set to NULL.. so it doesn't matter what characters
follow that..

Yes it should have.. did you try it on a SQLPlus window to see what it returns?
Select TRANSLATE('q###',
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ-0123456789_abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz','') from
DUAL;
What do you get?

That was a limitation in some earlier versions of Oracle which I think are
removed now?

Yes, this doesn't work either unfortunately. It accepts all kinds of
characters.

Thanks everyone for your help. I think I'll just have to take each character
and determine if it fits the "LIKE" criteria. The first character that doesn't
fit, I will show an error. I can do this with an active link guide.

Hi Lisa,You can probably use one of the PATTERN at Field Level.Field has properties where you can do a "Pattern" of either "LOWER" or "UPPER" depending on your scenario.Then you will need an Active Link to validate other special characters.e.g. NOT ('Field' LIKE "%$%") AND NOT ('Field' LIKE "%#%

I need to check a character field to make sure that the string in the field is

I've tried a bunch of workflow and it's just not working for me.
