How to detect a letter?

I'm guessing that someone has already had to do this:
I need to validate that a string contains a letter (A-Z or a-z) as part of an edit routine for valid email passwords.

I could brute-force this with for-loops scanning for each letter, but I suspect there is a more elegant solution. Ideas? Preferred solution would be RPG and/or SQL supported by v7.1.

(Hoped to find a previous discussion of this in the archives, but my creativity failed me for getting the right search words.)
Many thanks.
