Simple Logic...Upper case and lower case..

[Former Member]

GUru's..

I need your advise..

I have a parameter and I declared it as type c with a lenght of 20 characters. that parameter will be using to input names , whole to be exact..

Example: Ms. Clara Yeshi.

Now my problem is when I enter it or execute it the whole name/string becomes capital letters.which should'nt. it capital letter should only start at the beginning of every name.like in my example..

the reason why I needed it to be like that bacause whatever the user will input on the paramter will be display on my form as name.that's why i need ito to be a bit formal.

Again this is what I want to happen in my font.

Ms. Claire Jane Yeshi.

the upper case letter should only start at the beginning of every name.

Hope you can help me...

hi

actually i dont hav my system now

but i think the following code wil b helpful to make a custom FM

or make a sub routine in ur report

data : text(50) value 'this is a test for upper lower case'.

data : itab(50) occurs 0 with header line.

data : result(50).

split text at space into table itab.

loop at itab.

translate itab+0(1) to upper case.

concatenate result itab into result separated by space.

endloop.

write : / result.

Use function module SWA_STRING_TO_UPPERCASE and keep PRESERVE_EXISTING_CAPITALS as space. It will fullfil your requirement.

Hi,

use a field from any table wherein the the field "Lowercase" is "checked" in the domain for its data element .

eg: parameters: p_name like bseg_sgtxt.

your problem will be solved.

Hello

I have the same problem, but using the LDAPMAP transaction, I want the username as you explain: John Smith, no JOHN SMITH.

Have you solved this issue?

Best regards.
