Hi Riaz,
Use Translate Function to solve ur problem

E.g. select Translate ('AB12CD', 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ') Tr From dual

Result will be
ABCD

Try this ..
if ur problem is solved inform me..

bye
bhanu

Thanks bhanu.. The function solved my problem... But I will be thankful to you if you can explain me the following syntax...

IF TRANSLATE(:ename, '0123456789', '#') <> :ename THEN
what_ever_i_want;
..
..

Thanks for giving time...
