Sahana,
Use UPPER-CASE. For syntax, go thru manuals. |

Or if you are using TSO/ISPF you can issue either of the following commands:
| Code: |
CAPS ON
C ALL ' ' ' ' |
In the second example, there is a space between each of the pair of single quotes. And you must first issue the command CAPS ON to change your profile settings. |

The OP wants to "convert a sentence" in cobol.
Sentence has a specific meaning in cobol. To quote a manual I have "A COBOL sentence is a syntactical unit within a paragraph, may span multiple line in Area B (Columns 12-72), and must end with a period followed by a space."
Also from IBM "One or more statements terminated by a separator period."
If the OP is talking about an English sentence in working storage then murmohk1 gave the Cobol statement that can be put into a Cobol sentence.
If however the OP is referring to an actual Cobol sentence then socker_dad and acevedo are correct. |

In cobol...
1. Using INSPECT as follows
INSPECT string1 CONVERTING
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ” TO “abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
2. You can use Intrinsic function LOWER-CASE() as follows...
Move "UPPERCASE DATA" TO String1.
MOVE FUNCTION LOWER-CASE(String1) TO String2.
DISPLAY String2.
In Sort....
Use the below Syncsort/DFsort sort Card if the entire file or part of a file is to be changed
SORT FIELDS=COPY
OUTREC FIELDS=(1:1,10,TRAN=UTOL)
