Only things I'm aware of convert the string you pass to it.

You'd have to parse the string to find the beginning and ending quotes and ignore that part...

I'm sure that there's a simple SQL trick to scan-and-replace up to but not including the first ", resuming after the 2nd ", but I'm only dangerous with SQL.
Or maybe scan-and-replace from both ends towards the middle, and stop at the " (assuming only one "quoted string" in the string being changed).
The MC Press article mentions that changing bit #1 in an EBCDIC character will force lower to uppercase.

I'm assuming the quoted portion is not in a fixed position.

I've used QDCXLATE for a complete string (https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/ja/ssw_i5_54/apis/QDCXLATE.htm)

MC Press had this roll-your-own article: https://www.mcpressonline.com/programming/rpg/toupperconvert-lowercase-letters-to-uppercase
