× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.

Problem with those is that they only handle one byte at a time and if there is no map leave the byte unchanged. So you have to call them in a loop.

They are I believe locale sensitive but would be clumsy to use.

You could prototype the C functions toupper() and tolower() in service program QC2UTIL2. It's not as easy as a native BIF, but at least there are alternatives.

I have been using SQL because there is not a BIF and it's sure easier
than %XLATE.

exec sql
set :value2 = upper(:value1);
