Does the J solution reject strings with vowels in them? It says on [[wp:SEDOL#Description|the wikipedia]] that vowels are never used in the 6-character code, so the function should reject strings that have them. --[[User:Mwn3d|Mwn3d]] 04:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Does the J solution reject strings with vowels in them? It says on the wikipedia that vowels are never used in the 6-character code, so the function should reject strings that have them. --Mwn3d 04:58, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

The J code isn't a validator, it merely calculates and appends the check digit.
You could modify it to whine about vowels by removing them:
    sn   =.  '0123456789 BCD FGH JKLMN PQRST VWXYZ'  
Not terribly exciting.
