Re: Convert uppercase to mixed case

M
Hello Alex,

That only works reliably in the base EBCDIC code page.  It will not work 
everywhere in 
the world, not even in other countries that use the Latin alphabet, and heaven 
help you 
if you attempt this on lower-case characters in a DBCS code page.  The proper 
method is 
to use a conversion table or the iconv() API - even the XLATE RPG instruction 
doesn't 
help.

Regards,
Simon Coulter.

  Does anyone have a generic routine (RPG) for converting uppercase to mixed
case?  I'm looking to convert all our customer and vendor names and
addresses from upper to mixed.

  Thanks,
  Dave
