Hi All,

If there any way to convert a character string from lowercase to uppercase or vice versa in COBOL.

Please let me know if there is any function which can do this.

Thanks in advance.

Converting to uppercase or lowercase (UPPER-CASE, LOWER-CASE)

01 Item-1 Pic x(30) Value "Hello World!".
01 Item-2 Pic x(30).
. . .
Display Item-1
Display Function Upper-case(Item-1)
Display Function Lower-case(Item-1)
Move Function Upper-case(Item-1) to Item-2
Display Item-2
The code above displays the following messages on the system logical output device:

Hello World!
HELLO WORLD!
hello world!
HELLO WORLD!

Cheers
