DCL Symbols and Case?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am currently using dcl to read a file and search for specific strings within
the file.  Is there any way to change the case of the string read from the file
to all uppercase or all lower case or to make the f$locate command ignore case
differences.

The Answer is :

 
  The f$edit lexical function supports an UPCASE operation.
