Hi,
I dont think a function called LOWER(string) available in REXX.
You can make use of TRANSLATE function:
Syntax:
result=TRANSLATE(string,Output table, Input table)
E.g.
result=TRANSLATE('ACF','abcdefghi','ABCDEFGHI')
==> result=acf
Thanks,
Mani |

You can write a program and save it in the same library or one in your sysexec concatation.
/* lower */
return translate(arg(1),"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz",,
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ")
To use this function
my_var = lower(any_var) |
