Assuming you mean A, N, or space: Translate A and N to spaces, and check for field = *blanks.

If you mean A or N only, translate all A to N (or vice versa), and check for *ALL('N') (or A).

I have a 20 byte field that should only contain the values of A or N in

Without looping through each position, is there any way to test if the
field contains any other value?
