I have a select statement where I want to only return results where the
job_code, varchar2(10) is a number

Example:

gv123
he32134
bc4543
6785
4320
0323

I only want the ones that are all numbers, no conversion, just return the
rows where the job_code is a number.  

So I would get back from my select the following results

6785
4320
0323
