You'll also want to be careful doing an len() after tointeger(). Leading 0's will be taken off and not counted for the length (e.g. len(tointeger("001")) returns 1). Assuming you go with the cleanwith() approach you won't be using the tointeger() so you won't need to worry about this, but it's something to keep in mind.

Thanks for all the quick responses!
The cleanwith approach is a great idea. I will keep the regex in mind though if there are more complex validation requirements in the future. Thanks!

tointeger("987653214032") will give you infinite, if the number has more than 10 digit.

So, try this:-
if(len(cleanwith(ri!barcodeNumberValue_txt,"0123456789"))<>10,"Error Msg.","")
if(len(cleanwith(ri!barcodeNumberValue_txt,"0123456789"))<>len(ri!barcodeNumberValue_txt),"Error Msg.","")

The regex expressions are very useful in multiple scenarios. Using the plugin Phil suggest you could use the following:
regexmatch("[A-Z]", ri!barcodeNumberValue_txt)

Have you considered using regular expressions? There's a plugin that allows this: forum.appian.com/.../summary
