Advantage Concepts
Advantage Expression Engine function that converts lowercase unicode characters to uppercase unicode characters
UPPERW(<cString>) -> cUpperString
<cString> The unicode character string to be converted.
UPPERW() returns a copy of <cString> with all characters converted to uppercase.
UPPERW() is a character function that converts lowercase and mixed case unicode strings to uppercase. It is related to LOWERW() which converts uppercase and mixed case unicode strings to lowercase.
UPPERW() can be used to normalize strings for case-independent comparison or indexing purposes.
Note Advantage Expression Engine functions can be used in expressions such as record filter expressions and index expressions. They are not necessarily scalars supported within SQL statements. For a list of supported SQL scalar functions, see Supported Scalar Functions.
Note Memo, binary, and image fields are not supported in this Advantage Expression Engine function. If memo, binary, or image fields are used with this expression engine function, the Advantage Expression Engine will be unable to evaluate the expression.
