Display File DDS question

I'm currently looking through the DDS manual, trying to work out a way for a 2-character alphanumeric field to accept "A", "C", "X", or a digit from 1 to 9 (in either column, with the other column blank), or any 2-digit number from "01" to "99", and reject any other entry. Preferably doing all the validation within the display file.
I noticed that the "VALUES" keyword can only accommodate 100 values, and that wouldn't be enough to cover every valid value individually.
Can anybody suggest something I may be overlooking? Or tell me outright that it's impossible, and that I need to do the validation in the program?
