How do you do the checking?

I've been asked by the user to eliminate similar characters. However, I suspect that his list of characters is not exhaustif. I would put these characters in a string, then use %XLATE to see if the name entered contained one of these characters.
Although I think we've now limited our users to using only capital letters AtoZ plus spaces in between, so maybe it'd be easier to control what can be used instead of what can't. But then %XLATE wouldn't work, would it?

Anyway of indicating which character is the one that can't be used?

No can do. That would discriminate against Mr Tintin.
