Ingo, 2 methods come to mind:

1) Using the SET/CHAR operator, set a number item to
   the 1st char from the caller-id-name item.
   Then compare it to 63 (ascii value for "?")
2) Create a text-item holding text "?" (you will have
   to edit ecs.cfg manually to do so, given the problem
   entering "?"). Then you can compare the text of this
   item with the caller-id-name item via the IS/T1 operator.
3) Edit ecs.cfg manually and place the "?" where desired.
