ALPHANUM datatype contains non-alphanumeric character like @#$&*

Hi All,

I use ALPHANUM datatype in one table with 127 size. As per definition in Developer guide

"ALPHANUM(n)data type specifies a variable-length character stringwhich contains alphanumeric characters"

Example :

insert into"SOMNATH"."aadata"values(to_ALPHANUM ('!@#$%')) ;

 

 

insert into"SOMNATH"."aadata"values(')(*&!@#$%') ;

Above statement executed successfully. So HANA cannot check alphanumeric char. at the time of insertion or any other reason?
