Initial Capital

Former Member — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 12:55:38 GMT

Dear All,

I am searching for a function that would enable me to change "JACK" to "Jack". In oracle there is a way initcap(X). But here I want the user to input say JACK and the report should show Jack. this should be achieved without using a table. Basically I know the function Translate c to lowercase. I am searching something similar which would give me the string with initial letter capital instantly.

Regards,

Jack Silverz

Hi jack,

SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE

which has the option for Title case also.

As you know Translate statement , use that statement to make intial capital. check the sample program .

DATA:
      g_string(6000) TYPE c VALUE 'JACK'.

TRANSLATE g_string to lower case.
TRANSLATE g_string+0(1) to UPPER CASE.
Write g_string.

I hope that it helps u. Regards, Venkat.O
