Okay, so you apparently want blanks to be allowed at the same time you want characters greater than or equal to 'A' to be allowed. I'm not yet sure if you only want alphabetic characters, but it seems reasonable. The problem is that you can only specify one COMP keyword for a field. Therefore, you can't have COMP EQ ' ' and COMP GE 'A' at the same time.

One way is not to use COMP at all. Instead, use VALUES().

A VALUES(' ' 'A' 'B' 'C' 'D'...)

Aside from the inanity of the original question ...


      A                                COMP(GE 'A')
      A                                CHECK(AB)
