Hi Jeff,
The difference is probably only one of performance. Using OCONV requires the
conversion code to be decoded in order to work out what to do. Using
UPCASE() can go straight off to do the real work without any additional
decoding.
I suspect not, but there may be some difference of interpretation if you
have NLS installed.

On unidata, can anyone shed light on the differences between UPCASE(...)
and OCONV(...,'MCU')?
I know OCONVS(...,'MCU') will preserve @VM and other unidata delimiters,
but for single valued data is their any difference in the above?
