Convert Lower case characters to upper case characters

Hi,
I need to convert all the characters in a record from lower to upper case. But the problem is that the record contains Packed decimals. I have tried using Inspect statement in COBOL and also used different Sort utilities. But problem comes for the packed decimals. Some junk value is passed for Packed decimals. Can anyone suggest an appropiate solution.

Thanks,
Kunal

Without specifying which fields you want to uctran and which to leave alone, not in place....
One time COBOL, generate a copy of the copybook for the record without comp-3 and move corresponding, uctran the whole thing and move corresponding back.
