NOCASE
The NOCASE attribute (PROP:NOCASE) of a KEY or INDEX declaration makes the sorted sequence of alphabetic characters insensitive to the ASCII upper/lower case sorting convention. All alphabetic characters in key fields are converted to upper case as they are written to the KEY. This case conversion has no affect on the case of the stored data. The NOCASE attribute has no effect on non-alphabetic characters.
Example:
Names FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),PRE(Nam)
NameKey KEY(Nam:Name),NOCASE !Declare name key, make case insensitive
NbrKey KEY(Nam:Number) !Declare number key
Rec RECORD
Name STRING(20)
Number SHORT
END
END
