ISUPPER( string )

blk2blue.jpg

ISUPPER Returns whether the string passed to it contains an upper case alphabetic character.
string The label of the string to test. If the string contains more than one character, only the first character is tested.

The ISUPPER procedure returns TRUE if the string passed to it is an upper case letter and false otherwise. This is independent of the language and collation sequence. This procedure requires that CLACASE has been set in the application's environment file or through the LOCALE statement.

Return Data Type: LONG

Example:

SomeString STRING(1)

CODE  

SomeString = 'A'         !ISUPPER returns true

IF ISUPPER(SomeString)

 X#= MESSAGE('Upper case string')

END

SomeString = 'a'         !ISUPPER returns false

IF ISUPPER(SomeString)

 X#= MESSAGE('Upper case string')

ELSE

 X#= MESSAGE('Not upper case string')

END
