Re: using toupper()

["David Morris" <David.Morris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

James,

As Nathan pointed out, there is more than one way to
convert the case of a string. One way is to use
XLATE. I got away with that for years. On more recent
releases, you might look at QlgConvertCase. That API
supports a CCSID parameter so you can convert ASCII,
Cyrillic, or even EBCDIC. If you are interested in an
example, the iSeries-tookit (www.iseries-toolkit.org)
has an example that is part of the TXTTKT module.
You can check it out at:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/iseries-toolkit/CVSROOT/src/qrpglesrc/txttkt.irp?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Depending on the range of values you plan
on supporting, you should be able to use
a 1-byte binary field.

My understanding is that integers can be defined with the following
lengths:
5 = short = 2 bytes
10 = int = 4 bytes
20 = long = 8 bytes

Over the past couple years, there have been some good discussions about
uppercase functions at:
