Re: Converting to upper case

[Jim Langston <jimlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dan,

The only reason I think this is a good idea is because I've been in
shops where they do this and shops where they haven't.  In all cases it
has been much faster and easier to write programs in shops that do.

Productivity goes up dramatically if this is done right.  I was able to
write a new program in a matter of 10 minutes doing it this way using about
15 lines of code, rather than spending days reinventing the wheel and using
250 lines of code.  I actually had some programs for file updates that literally
took about 5 lines of code that was full featured.

Regards,

Jim Langston
