Hi All community,

 

Can you please provide me with an example of a function in procedure division where you apply conversion from lower case to upper.

i need the Syntax whether it is in form of example, i've been reading the book but can't get how it makes please

Hi Zux.

We simply use a call to "c$toupper" primitive, giving to it the pic X and its length:

Simple example:


77 wks-string pic x(60) value spaces

......

move "lower test" to wks-string.

call "c$toupper" using wks-string
                 value length of wks-string.

There are a couple ways to do this.   I use the intrinsic function UPPER-CASE pretty often.  You can also use "C$TOUPPER" as indicated above.

 

MOVE FUNCTION UPPER-CASE(WS-VALUE) TO WS-VALUE.

C$TOUPPER, C$TOLOWER, C$JUSTIFY, C$COPY, etc very useful utilities.

I'm looking for work again. World of opportunities out there for me. Feel like I'm free as a bird after leaving my other job. I tried convincing them compiling back to Acucobol 3.2 compatibility was not necessary and not advisable. I'm looking forward to being in a more up to date job.
