DOWNCASE function

Syntax

DOWNCASE (expression)

Description

Use the DOWNCASE function to change all uppercase letters in expression to lowercase. If expression evaluates to the null value, null is returned.

DOWNCASE is equivalent to OCONV function("MCL").

If NLS is enabled, the DOWNCASE function uses the conventions specified by the Ctype category for the Lowercase field of the NLS.LC.CTYPE file to change the letters in expression.

Example

A="DOWN CASE DOES THIS:  "
PRINT A:DOWNCASE(A)
B="Down Case Does This:  "
PRINT B:DOWNCASE(B)

This is the program output:

DOWN CASE DOES THIS:  down case does this:
Down Case Does This:  down case does this:
