Alan,
I agree with some other posts that suggest an SQL function or RPG program
might be a better fit in your case. While using ACS to load all the open
source options on to the system is mindlessly easy, it might be looked upon
badly by management if you have any SOX, JSOX, etc. requirements or simply
tight change control without the proper paperwork when moving this into a
production environment. If I recall correctly you have quite an
installation so there very well could be those constraints.
I highly doubt they would complain about RPG or SQL.
Still, others chasing the same question should get an answer to the original
question.

Hi Jim
I was the originator of this e-mail thread I was asked to push this project
to one side and work on a higher priority - which is still ongoing This
looks like what I am asking for - but my knowledge of python is extremely
limited - if it exists at all - so I would need time to REALLY look into
this

I have followed this thread with interest, and aside from "python can do
that" and some examples of how to use python from various places, no one
really answered the question in the original post.
What would the python code look like to convert a name in all upper case to
mixed case?
It occurs to me that the "titlecase()" might do it.
"capitalize" might be an alternative based on the use case.
So if the name is in string "s", then:
s.captialize()
or
s.titilecase() or s.title()
so:
s = "JIM OBERHOLTZER";
print s.capitalize()
Results in "Jim Oberholtzer". It does what the original post was asking
about.

Almost certainly the performance would be worse than an ILE call. Whether
it's enough to make a real difference would depend on the totality of your
circumstances.

I've pretty much stopped following this thread but this last post was
germane to the original posters question.
In this last post John Yeung states that one should think of calling a PASE
based language, like Python, as akin to calling something on another system.
Not at all like the interaction between ILE languages.
If this is true, then I would question the performance.
While you would not have the unreliability of using an external service (as
per a recent thread) you might still have the overhead.
