<msam>Converting text to InitCap
Hi All,
Is there a Function in WebFOCUs to convert the String to InitCap.
Eg: "CAR" to "Car" and "COUNTRY" to "Country"

Jason K.there is in most databases, or you can create a function on your database to do it.
I'm not sure about webfocus, it's just another option.

DEFINE FILE CAR
KOUNTRY/A10=LCWORD(10,COUNTRY,'A10');
END
TABLEF FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY KOUNTRY
END
COUNTRY KOUNTRY

Francis MarianiIn WebFOCUS the function is called LCWORD.
The syntax:
LCWORD(length, string, outfield)
An example:
SYSTEMDESC/A40 = LCWORD(40, SYSTEM_DESC, 'A40');
Take a look at "Character Functions" in the Function Reference document.

Jason K.msam: sorry, I suppose since your original post even referenced the oracle (?) function InitCap, you probably already know that you can do this in the SQL world.
