evaluation of if statement

I can't seem to get the following code to work.  Should this work like
I expect it to, or does it need to be rewritten?

Ideally, given a sequence of {1,2,3} it should evaluate false, but
given {'b',2,3}, or {'b','B','b'} it should process true when
"position" corresponds to the position of the letter in the sequence.
But it always processes as false, even when the sequence element
has an ascii value between 'Z' and 'A'.

for position = 1 to length(input) do
    if 'Z' >= upper(input[position]) >= 'A' then
       found = find(upper(input[position]), upper(mapping))
    else
       found = find(input[position], mapping)
    end if
end for

am i missing something simple here?
