Trigger lowercase-uppercase conversion after field change in table

[Peter_Inotai]

Hi,

I changed one field in my table, the reference data element was case sensitive before, and now it's not case sensitive /or the reference domain to be precise/.

If I display the table content via SE16, the content of this field is still case sensitive. However I cannot enter case sensitive data anymore.

Is there a standard way to trigger a conversion for table content to convert all entries for this field to uppercase?

I tried SE14 - Database utility, but there was no effect.

I could write a small program, but I'm looking a standard, more convenient solution.

Thanks in advance,

Peter

Hi Peter, I believe the only way is to modify each record. If you have a maintenance program for these records, then simple modifying the record will do the conversion for you. If you don't want to do this for every record, then writing a simple program will be your next step.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the bad news:-)

Unfortunately I just checked with debugger and in the programs the fetched values are also case sensitive:-(

Best regards,
