.TEXT UPPER TO LOWER

This subroutine converts upper case to lower case in a text/alpha field.

Usage:

Description:

This subroutine converts upper case to lower case in a text/alpha field. The first 2 parameters are required. If any required parameters are missing, the subroutine will CANCEL.

<converted_field> returns the converted <original_text> (Required). This must be PASSed with Share "Y" to return the value.

<original_text> is are the characters you want converted (Required).

<convert_flag> controls how the characters will be converted (Optional). If PASSed, it must be one of:

    All - convert every character to lower case.
    Firstword - leave the first character of the first word upper case, convert the rest.
    Allwords - leave the first character of the every word upper case, convert the rest.

If not PASSed, the default value is All.

If you don't care about conserving the original data, you can pass the same field for both <converted_field> and <original_text>.
