Jon,

It appears to correctly handle O'NEIL vs ONEIL. And it also appears to
handle prefixes pretty well -- as in CARMEN DE LAVALLADE being returned
as Carmen de Lavallade.

This site https://dialect.ca/code/name-case/#output <
https://dialect.ca/code/name-case/#output> has a Regex based routine that
looks as if it could be converted to Regex in RPG or set up a simple
in-house web service or whatever to use it. PHP Source code is here
https://dialect.ca/code/name-case/name_case.phps <
https://dialect.ca/code/name-case/name_case.phps> but could be adapted
quite easily. It seems to handle most of the MACDONALD, MCDONALD type
stuff but not ONEIL.

There's no algorithm other than dictionary lookup that's going to

MacDonald

Besides, some people write O'Neil and some Oneil. What can a poor

device do? :)
