In item's Property Palette:
- set item's MAX length to 1
- set case to UPPERCASE

Create WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger which would check whether item's value is one of A, B or C; if not, raise an exception.

Avoid POST-CHANGE triggers; they relic of the past (Forms 3.0). In more recent versions, you should use WHEN-VALIDATE-... triggers whenever you want to validate something.

You could also use a list item, since you only have three possible static values.
