Discussion
The LOCASE statement converts uppercase alphabetic characters to their corresponding lowercase characters. It does not change the value of any other character.
The LOCALIZE subroutine controls the effect of the LOCASE statement on the characters [, \, ], and ^ by enabling ANSI-compliant translation. |
On those systems that support a user setting of the current language locale (Windows, OpenVMS, and most UNIX), the runtime automatically determines which 8-bit characters are uppercase or lowercase according to the current language locale of the user.
