No Progress doesn't do Reg Ex. If you upgrade to a more modern release (11.x) then you can make use of the .Net Framework.

Progress doesnot support Regular expression. For what it is worth, I would bypass this limitation by formatting the account number (since Account Number should be fixed length) into a set format!
For example:
<Code> STRING("ABCD123456789", "XXXX-(999)999-9999") </Code>

After that if you want to parse the string, you are free to do so.
