Re: Drop Case API

Jeff,

Excellent.

Technically, I probably should have used (as Simon Coulter did) the
QlgConvertCase API, since, as people always point out, using XLATE doesn't
work where you might have more complex character sets, where there are
letters with accents etc. But if you're just using the English alphabet
across a single CCSID, you can use XLATE, no problems. It's very fast.

Like I said, my code is quick and dirty - you could no doubt improve its
performance somewhat, but it sounds like you're not too bothered. Over 22K
records, I'd gess it would take a few minutes only. Most of that would be
the file I/O anway.

Rory,
That is what I am looking for.
A method to convert a text string from all upper case to a string where the
first letter of each word is upper case and all others are lower case.
The words are separated by a blank.

It looks like your example will do what I want.

Thanks,

Jeff Young
