I am using SDF to create the BMSMAP, the problem is some of the fields at the map should be changed to uppercase, if entered in small (and we should not convert whole map to uppercase)....
I want to know whether there is any attribute that I can set at field level to convert that field data alone to uppercase...
If the syntax is shared it will be more appreciated.....Thanks in advance |

| If you're using COBOL to process the map, use FUNCTION UPPER-CASE to convert the individual fields. |

I think this is the best possible solution. But I saw in SDF online help, we have CAPS {ON|IN|OUT} which is classified as 'Field Application Attribute' as we have JUSTIFY...
May I know, if you know how to use this....I couldn't find syntax of this.[/code] |

You need to define the transaction associated with your program/map to a unique PROFILE, specifying -
| Code: |
Uctran : No No | Yes
|
This is normally done by your Tech Support group and/or your CICS System Programmer.
But, keep in mind that if you transfer control to another program, the transaction will still be associated with the current transaction and upper-case translation will be OFF. So, you may want to add some code to this target program, such as a SET TERMINAL UCTRAN command, to ensure upper-case translation is ON if you're displaying the initial map. Once the program issues a RETURN TRANSID, using the transaction associated with this target program, the SET command will not be necessary, unless of course, this transid/program also requires UCTRAN to be OFF.
Your mileage may vary....
