ALPHAB

To perform an ALPHAB test, specify the check item TYPE attribute as ALPHAB. An ALPHAB check limits the characters allowed to A-Z or a-z. Blanks are not allowed.

Here is an example where an ALPHAB check in the chapters variable class ensures that chapter names are alphabetic:

<!doctype dm system>

<varclass name=chapters type='CHAR 8'>
  <checkl msg=liba016>
     <checki type=alphab>
  </checkl>

The conversion utility generates an ALPHAB verification statement in the )PROC section.
