I have a MRE user who would like to build a report from a database where all the data is stored in UPPERCASE. He would like the users to be able to use lowercase for the 'contains' when making the query.

Can this be done?

Thanks

Try this,

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE LOCASE(10,BODYTYPE,'A10') CONTAINS 'con'
END
-EXIT

Thanks Kamesh.

I passed this to my MRE user. I will let you know how it goes.

Conversely, you can UPCASE the string used for the search. Works great when the reports can vary.

-DEFAULTS &WHAT = 'con'

-SET &LEN = 'A' | &WHAT.LENGTH;
-SET &WHAT = UPCASE(10,'&WHAT.EVAL','&LEN.EVAL');
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE BODYTYPE CONTAINS '&WHAT'
END

Here, the string value is defaulted to 'con' (which is usually over-ridden by the users resonse). BTW, ALWAYS use '.EVAL' when using a User-written subroutine, at least that's been my experience.
