Script that requires the user to type in "Y" or "N".

I am working in Acrobat Pro X1. and am designing a fillable form that has a column that requires the user to put either a "Y" or "N" only. (This may be changed to "P" or "F" pass or fail). I made an Arbitrary Mask with "A" and this works except that any alpha can be typed into the column. I know that this should be simple but I'm just not finding it.

Do I need to run a validation? and if I do, what would that look like?

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks!

OK, then you can use this code as the field's custom validation script:

if (event.value) event.rc = (event.value=="Y" || event.value=="N");

Why not use a drop-down field, instead?

Normally that would work but there is only enough room for one character in the column. (Basically the drop-down is too big) Also, there are 28 lines in the column with text boxes on either side.
