UPSHIFT attribute

The UPSHIFT attribute forces character input to uppercase letters.

Syntax

UPSHIFT

Usage

Assign the UPSHIFT attribute to a character field to automatically convert lowercase letters entered by the user to uppercase letters.

Because uppercase and lowercase letters have different values, storing character strings in one or the other format can simplify sorting and querying a database.

The results of conversions between uppercase and lowercase letters are based on the locale settings.

Example

EDIT f001 = FORMONLY.name, UPSHIFT;
