CAPS function

CAPS function

Converts any lowercase characters in a CHARACTER or LONGCHAR expression to uppercase characters, and returns the result.

Syntax
CAPS ( expression ) 
expression

A constant, field name, variable name, or expression that results in a CHARACTER or LONGCHAR value.

Example

In the following code example, the CAPS function converts the characters in the state field to uppercase:
r-caps.p
REPEAT: 
  PROMPT-FOR Customer.CustNum. 
  FIND Customer USING Customer.CustNum. 
  UPDATE Customer.Name Customer.Address Customer.City Customer.State. 
  Customer.State = CAPS(Customer.State). 
  DISPLAY Customer.State. 
END. 
Notes

The CAPS function returns uppercase characters relative to the settings of the Internal Code Page (-cpinternal) and Case Table (-cpcase) startup parameters. For more information on these parameters, see OpenEdge Deployment: Startup Command and Parameter Reference.

The CAPS function is double-byte enabled. The specified expression can yield a string containing double-byte characters; however, the CAPS function changes only single-byte characters in the string.
