I don't think so that there is any function module for this..

but you can do it in this way...

DATA: uabcd TYPE sy-abcde ,

labcd TYPE sy-abcde ,

source(1) .

source = 'a' .

uabcd = sy-abcde .

labcd = sy-abcde .

TRANSLATE labcd TO LOWER CASE .

FIND source IN uabcd RESPECTING CASE .

IF sy-subrc EQ 0 .

WRITE:/ 'uppercase' .

ENDIF .

FIND source IN labcd RESPECTING CASE .

IF sy-subrc EQ 0 .

WRITE:/ 'lowercase' .

ENDIF .

Thanks & Regards

Hi

There is a string function

TRANSLATE

to conver the string to Upper or LOWER case.

or declare the alphabets in two varaibles of 26 char length like

var1 = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' and

var2 = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

NOW YOU CAN USE THE STRING COMMANDS LIKE

CS-Contains string

CA -COntains any

like that

IF STR CS VAR1.

....................

ELSEIF STR CS VAR2.

................

ENDIF.
