Can anyone assist me with creating a format mask or some method to allow only alpha-numeric characters no (#,@,*) etc. to be entered into a field in Oracle Forms.

Found something similar to this in one of forum posts, I placed this in WHEN-VALIDATE-TRIGGER of field after applying an
UPPER to vFieldVal. Returning a NULL value would indicate that only letters and\or numbers were found in field. Not sure if there is an alpha-numeric format that can be applied

SELECT LTRIM(RTRIM(vFieldVal, 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789'),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789')
INTO vDummy
FROM DUAL;
