Re: [U2] uppercase
Hi Richard, Result-wise, there would be no difference, unless the flavor you're using did something bad to system delimiters. The first would upcase the entire string, and the second would upcase each value separately, possibly taking a nanosecond or 2 longer. If you expect the data to ever be multivalued, OCONVS would cover either situation.

Re: [U2] uppercase
I could be wrong since I've never used NLS on U2, but I think that somewhere there is a table identifying upper/lowercase pairs. In the default locale, char(253) is the value mark and doesn't have an associated case pairing, but in some other locales it is latin small letter y with acute and pairs with char(221). So a string created on on a system with one local could upcase differently if moved to a system with a different local. However, I think there's also a setting for what characters are used as system delimiters. So if char(253) is needed as a data character then @VM would be redefined to be something different (I hope :)) So assuming that the same locale was always used, OCONV, OCONVS, AND UPCASE/DOWNCASE should always case the same way.
