RE: Converting names & street names

Hi:

There is a real-world value to getting all your (potential) customers' 
information perfect, and a real-world cost as well. Only your organization 
can decide at what point the ledger is in the black.

You can get close with a program. If close is good enough, then 
programming is a viable option. Otherwise, no.

The only reason we have a mixed-case routine is because we send out 

letters

to customers on occasion. And some of those customer names and addresses 

are

from a vendor (which gives us the information all in UPPERCASE), or from
legacy systems which we have converted (also in uppercase). Of course, 

when

we enter stuff, we use CHECK(LC) on the DDS (except for the state
abbreviation and the middle initial).
