I have a report in which a user will input an agent number via an HTML screen. The agent number contains both letters and numbers. When I use this agent number amper variable in a FOCUS language WHERE clause, it is case sensitive. I am using a master file against an Oracle database.

Is there a way to either:
(1) Code the FOCUS language to ignore the case sensitivty
OR
(2) Using Dialogue Manager, convert the input string to CAPS?

Thanks!
Mark

Mark,

Use the UPCASE funtion as described in the character funtions of the WebFOCUS USING FUNCTIONS manual.

Uppercase function:

UPCASE(length, input, outfield)

-SET &SELECT1 = UPCASE(&INSTR1.LENGTH, &INSTR1, 'A&INSTR1.LENGTH');


You could then try the following selection criteria on the Oracle table - it may get translated to SQL (turn on SQL traces to find out):

WHERE UPCASE(50, TABLE_COLUMN_NAME, 'A50') CONTAINS '&SELECT1'

Kevin and Francis - Thanks for your assistance. I knew there was a function to do it, I just couldn't figure out the syntax.

Works great.
