Re: Converting Case with a Varying Field -- RPG400-L

Not necessarily - are you doing this over 100 million records? Or onesy-twosy?

The real code just sets a host variable going in, calls a program to convert it, then sets the host variable back again - nothing much. The stuff we'd write could easily be more complex than is done in the called SQL program.
