uppercase characters, and returns the result. The data type of the returned value matches
the data type of the expression passed to the function.
Syntax
-
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.
