Is there any command in Cobol to convert a sentence with lower cases into upper cases ? Please explain with example.

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:
C ALL P'<' P'>'



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)
