Well done, Colin.
Masochistic, and, if they're working in a language other than English,
buggy.
The lazy way is to subtract 32 from the ASCII value. E.g.:
put numtochar(chartonum("a") - 32)
"A"
Colin's method will work with any language, providing you use the
appropriate alphabet.
But a Kerry post wouldn't be complete without pointing out that ASCII is
an outdated, 7-bit standard. English Windows use ANSI, an 8-bit standard
equivalent to the ISO 8859.1 standard.
Cordially,
Kerry Thompson
