If you put in exit EEP rather then on key press EEP it should work. Do you
realyy need it on each key press?

Ämne: [RBASE-L] - Convert Variable edit to Upper case

Greetings List - I have a variable edit object into which automobile 
part numbers are entered.  They may be up to 10 characters and any 
combination of alpha and numeric.  The alpha needs to be upper case.

To convert possible lower case alpha to upper, I've tried various format 
masks in the Format Mask field on the Effects tab; another approach was 
to put an LUC function in the On Key Press EEP but the results were 
quirky at best.

SET VAR vPartNbr = (LUC(.vPartNbr))
RECALC VARIABLES
RETURN

I'd prefer to convert each alpha character to upper case as it's typed 
or should I do an LUC in an exit EEP?
Any suggestions?

I've checked the FTE article from 2005 but that's for formatting phone 
#'s, ZIPs & SSNs, not case conversion.

TIA,
Doug
