When defvalue is of data type NUMBER, DATE or TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE and checkstr is null, then the format is replaced by a regular expression for checkstr. Parameter errormsg ignored. Parameter severity ignored, although an extra Operator Message is created mentioning the severity. Parameter check_str needs to be changed into a (v8) regular expression, or one of the following upper(nvl(:1,''Y'')) in (''Y'',''N'')upper(substr(:1,1,1)) in (''Y'',''N'')upper(nvl(:1,''N'')) in (''J'',''N'')upper(nvl(:1,''NEE'')) in (''JA'',''NEE'') )
