There isn't a function but the SQL is pretty simple

     /* DDL for test table */
     CREATE SET TABLE dbname.test ,NO FALLBACK ,
          NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
          NO AFTER JOURNAL,
          CHECKSUM = DEFAULT
          (
           col1 char(5) not null)
     UNIQUE PRIMARY INDEX ( col1);

     /* insert some bad values and a good one */

     insert dbname.test
     ('0123A')

     /* test for noncomformant data  */
     select * from dbname.test
     where substring(col1 from 1 for 1) not between '0' and '9'
     or    substring(col1 from 2 for 1) not between '0' and '9'
     or    substring(col1 from 3 for 1) not between '0' and '9'
     or    substring(col1 from 4 for 1) not between '0' and '9'
     or    substring(col1 from 5 for 1) <> 'M'
