RE: Case Insensitive Lookup

[Bob Crothers <bob@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Glen,

In your logical file at the file level, add ALTSEQ(QSYSTRNTBL).  Below 
is an example.  This will provide a case insensitive key.

     A 
                                                ALTSEQ(QSYSTRNTBL)
     A
     A          R MIDRNGR                   PFILE(MIDRNGP)
     A
     A          K COMPNY
     A          K CONTCT

Subject:        Case Insensitive Lookup

I'm trying to provide a case insensitive lookup for a database key 
field
containing both upper and lower case.  The user, by typing:

FLINTSTONE, FRED

should be positioned to:

Flintstone, Fred
Flintstone, Wilma
etc.

Using the normal collating sequence, this would position beyond all of 
the F's.
How can this be done without changing the actual data to upper case or 
creating
an additional field containing the upper case version.

There must be a simple way to do this...

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Glenn
