%subst(field : 15 : 1) = 'A' Or %subst(field : 15 : 1) = 'N'

Subject: Test a field for specific values only

I have a 20 byte field that should only contain the values of A or N in any given position.
Without looping through each position, is there any way to test if the field contains any other value?

Thanks,
