If eventually you need to replace the string then instead of Translating to Upper case you could also mention other possible patterns like:

USING 'Axax'

This will replace both A nad a with x.'

You can use IGNORING CASE addition of REPLACE statement to avoid your problem.

If you still need to convert to Upper Case the solution is just a SCN-Search away.
