Please help me with converting a record from lower case to upper case.Any functions in COBOL-II or EZT or any other utilities is OK.

Thanks,
Vijay

vijay,

This topic had been discussed already. Please search before posting.Check the following link for DFSORT'S solution to convert lowercase characters to uppercase characters, or uppercase characters to lowercase characters, in a field or an entire record

Check the following link for FILE-AID solution

In VS-COBOl II you need to use the special-names paragraph for conversion. check this link for example.

The latest versions of cobol have intrinsic functions UPPER-CASE & LOWER-CASE which will convert lowercase characters to uppercase characters, or uppercase characters to lowercase characters. check this link for an example

Hope this helps...

cheers

Thanks for the reply.I used EZT to do this

S1 = 1
DO WHILE S1 LE 300
IF WS-OUTREC-B(S1) GE 129 +
AND WS-OUTREC-B(S1) LE 169
WS-OUTREC-B(S1) = WS-OUTREC-B(S1) + 64
END-IF
S1 = S1 + 1
END-DO

I think in COBOL we have something like FUNCTION UPPER-CASE(input).

Hi Vijay,
If you are trying to convert in the program, you can do something like this.

INSPECT (Your record here )
CONVERTING
'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' TO
'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'
