Testing Operator input for special characters or wild cards

Anyone have an idea how to test and stop operators inputting \/:*?<>| in comments? If it contains those then it will comment back and tell them to try again? im trying to use an if_goto statements.

[C1 =COMMENT/INPUT,NO,FULL SCREEN=NO,
ENTER SERIAL NUMBER
ASSIGN/NEWSN=C1.INPUT
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="/" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN==":" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="*" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="?" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="<" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN==">" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="|" ,GOTO = DEATH
IF_GOTO/NEWSN=="0" ,GOTO = DEATH
GOTO/LIVE
DEATH =LABEL/
IF/1
COMMENT/OPER,NO,FULL SCREEN=YES,AUTO-CONTINUE=YES,TIME DELAY=10,
DO NOT USE SPECIAL CHARACTERS FOR THE INPUT.
TRY AGAIN!
GOTO/C1
END_IF/
LIVE =LABEL/​]
