|
|
Hi,
I have names in upper case and I would like to change them to Name format eg.
Input
LASTNAME FIRSTNAME
Desired O/p
Lastname Firstname
I can't use function Lowercase as it will change all to lower case and I want to first alphabet to be in uppercase. pls let me know if there is any utility in COBOL for this.
Thanks!!

I would UNSTRING the two names into descrete fields;
use REFERENCE MODIFICATION with FUNCTION LOWERCASE
Code: |
MOVE FUNCTION LOWERCASE(firstname-field(2:)) to firstname-field(2:)
MOVE FUNCTION LOWERCASE(lastname-field(2:)) to lastname-field(2:)
|
String lastname, space, and firstname delimited by spaces. _________________ Dick Brenholtz
