Purpose

Returns a string, converted to upper-case. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.

Syntax

UCase$( string_expr )

string_expr is a string expression.

Return Value

String

Description

The UCase$() function returns the string which is the upper-case equivalent of the string expression string_expr.

Conversion from lower to upper case only affects alphabetic characters (A through Z); numeric digits and punctuation marks are not affected. Thus, the function call UCase$("A#12a") returns the string value "A#12A".

Example

Dim regular, upper_case As String 

regular = "Los Angeles" 
upper_case = UCase$(regular)
' upper_case now contains the value "LOS ANGELES"
