Re: Case conversion (was Re: Large Return values)

Hans,
Would you mind explaining what advantage an IBM-implementation of say...
"%toupper()" built-in function would provide over a programmer-written
"toupper()" procedure? For example, would a long returned value be an issue, would it be language
independent, would it have any performance implications?


Just to make clear from the start, this is strictly a theoretical question since a %TOUPPER() built-in is not a future objective for us.

I'm not sure I see any advantages of a %TOUPPER() built-in since it would be nothing more than a wrapper for the function iconv().

Cheers! Hans
