There is no DDS keyword that you can use, but you can translate
from lower case to upper case easily enough.  In RPG400:

I              'abcdefghijklmnopqrst-C         LC
I              'uvwxyz' 
I              'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRST-C         UC
I              'UVWXYZ' 
C           LC:UC     XLATEINPUT     OUTPUT

or, if you want to guarantee multi-national support, you can use
the QLGCNVCS API described in the National Languages Support
chapter of the System API Reference manual.  (Thanks to Bruce
Vining for this sample code!)

hope this helps!
