My personal thinking : you need to search and look at available functions. Then, play with them.
Since I don't think that it will have a single and simple solution due to your various data, you need to do your research except if the PROPER() function (which I can't find in doc) do the trick for you.

The best way, is probably to use a DEFINE function, and pull each / token, fix it, and rebuild the string and return it.

use the POSIT function to get the position of the 1st slash
use the POSIT function again, starting with the position of the 1st slash+1, to find the position of the 2nd slash. if the POSIT function returns 0, then there are no more slashes.
then use the SUBSTR function to capture the string beginning with the value of the 2nd slash + 1

You say "variable". Does that mean that these strings are help in an &variable?
Or are they in a field, used in a report?

I think that what Developer mean is that the forward slash may appear anywhere in the string (column field data) in a undetermined number of time.

So what he need from us is to built a function that will loop the whole string and format it.

LCWORD partially do the trick but as his first sample :
first/last/description/this is text message's/this message has been edited

Once LCWORD is applied become :
First/Last/Description/This Is Text Message'S/This Message Has Been Edited

The issue is with Message'S where the "s" is put in capital because of the quote that is "detected" as the beginning of a new word which is not the case.

So not only have to deal with the slash's, but with special characters... No easy way to solve this I think.
I think that with all the function that we give (and others that are in the manuals), it's now possible to figure a combination that may suit the need.
