The following clause defines criteria to include rows where FIELDA
has no digits, because the TRANSLATE expression is changing all digits
to blank, which ensures a miscompare to the unchanged value for FIELDA.

WHERE FIELDA = translate(FIELDA, ' ', '0123456789')

Good morning all:

I want to use a simple SQL statement that will retrieve all records on
which the field in question has all characters, no numbers. For
example:

FIELDA = 'ABCDEF '

If I have FIELDA = 'ABCDEF7 ', I do not want to list it.

I read in the archives that here is no function like %CHECK in SQL or
stuff like that but I was wondering if there is a simple way of doing
this, and probably is.
