John,
I want to do). The best answer I got was create a virtual field that
stored the field in caps and then use that in the select. In fact, the
example in an old Unidata manual I found says to do just that. Perhaps
there is good reasoning behind that method, but the logic of it
completely escapes me.
when you create a dictionary entry like this, the data is not stored but
generated at run time. In UV (I don't know about UD) you can also use
the EVAL statement in a SELECT which does this kind of thing at runtime eg:
SELECT MYFILE WITH EVAL "UPCASE(@ID)" LIKE "...HELLO..."
Works on UniVerse.
Have a look at HELP EVAL from TCL.
