Caché MultiValue Basic Reference
UPCASE
|
|
Converts alphabetic characters to uppercase.
Synopsis
The
UPCASE function returns a string of characters with all lowercase letters converted to uppercase. Characters other than lowercase letters are passed through unchanged. If you specify a null string,
UPCASE returns a null string.
By default,
UPCASE performs case conversion on ANSI Latin-1 letters. To perform case conversion on letters in other character sets, you must set the appropriate locale.
The
OCONV function with the MCU option is functionally identical to the
UPCASE function. To convert uppercase to lowercase, use the
DOWNCASE function.
The following example uses the
UPCASE function to convert lowercase letters to uppercase:
MyString = "Caché from InterSystems"
PRINT UPCASE(MyString)
! Returns "CACHÉ FROM INTERSYSTEMS"
