Uppercase 


 

Uppercase ( aString {; *} ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
aString  String in String to convert to uppercase
Operator in If passed: keep accents
Function result  String in String in uppercase

Uppercase takes aString and returns the string with all alphabetic characters in uppercase.

The optional * parameter, if passed, indicates that any accented characters present in aString must be returned as accented uppercase characters. By default, when this parameter is omitted, accented characters “lose” their accents after the conversion is carried out.

This example compares the results obtained according to whether or not the * parameter has been passed:

 $thestring:=Uppercase("hélène") ` $thestring is "HELENE"
 $thestring:=Uppercase("hélène";*) ` $thestring is "HÉLÈNE"

See the example for Lowercase.
