or

A clarification,
Are you asking if the first letter of the name is upper or lowwer case, any letter in the name, or all letters in the name?

Hi Dave,
I am referring to only a letter in name.

Building on what Archana posted.
It looks like you have an array (table) and one of the variables is 'NAME'
You want to do something if the first letter of 'NAME' is upper case and something else if lower case.
Try this:
| Code: |
IF NAME(I)(1:1) IS ALPHABETIC-UPPER
THEN
PERFORM SOMETHING
ELSE
PERFORM SOMETHING-ELSE
END-IF
