Syntax -

       If IsAlphaNumericOrSpace <string expression> …

               Where:

       <string expression> is a literal string or a variable containing a literal string.

 

Description:

This comparison operator is used to scan a literal string or a variable that contains a string value to insure that every character in the string is either a letter, number, or a space.  This comparison returns a TRUE condition if all characters in the string are letters, numbers, or spaces (no punctuation).

This comparison operator can be used with either an in-line If (the original OLIE™ syntax) or a Block If.

 

Sample:

       The following segment of a script will check the PatientName variable to be sure that it contains only letters or spaces.

:CheckRecord
