Re: Query/400 Upper-Lower Case

I don't know of a way with the RUNQRY command but you can with the OPNQRYF command.

Use the SRTSEQ(*LANGIDSHR) on the OPNQRYF command to ignore case on your record selection.

If you create a query via the WRKQRY command you can do several things with the collating sequence. One of which is specify a translation table like QUSRSYS/QCASE256 which you can then specify all upper case letters in your record selection.

Thanx, PLA

This question came up today, and I'm surprised that after all these years of
programming, that this is something I've not had a reason to investigate
before.  But...  Using Query/400  (i.e., Runqry *n MyLib/MyFile
RCDSLT(*YES))  on the query selection...is it possible to search for both
upper and lower case letters in a single pass?  For example,  if I want to
find a record with RNAME='Johnson'  and I enter  RNAME LIKE '%JOHNSON%'.....
Is there a way to specify that I want to search for both upper and lower
case letters so that it will find 'Johnson'  and  'JOHNson', etc...?

Just curious...
