Case sensitive attribute in variant

Former Member — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 16:33:31 GMT

There is a way to set up a variant not to change the input to uppercase but to keep it case sensitive.

I forgot which attribute it is.

Help!

Thanks.

Janet, you might want to try to specify lowercase in your parameters/select-options statement.



report zrich_0001.

tables: makt.


parameters: p_check type c lower case.
select-options: s_matkx for makt-maktx lower case.

Doing so may control the way the variant is stored.

I know there is a way to do it when you save a variant rather than making a programming change.

Anybody know?

I don't see anything in my 46c system which would lead me to believe that you can control this when saving the variant.

I'm not sure how this could be done. After all, the parameter would get tranlated back to upper case when the program runs.
