Summary
Sometimes it is useful to have the output of the Report Generator to be in a certain case ('UPPER' or 'lower' case). For example Royal Mail suggest it is good practice for computer printed addresses to be in capitals to help the sorting machines.
Method
$UPSTR{A03} would output the Account Name (A03) in upper case. Catalyst Computer Systems would become CATALYST COMPUTER SYSTEMS.
Just substitute 'A03' for any Report Generator text variable.
 | $LOSTR{} will do the same in the other direction, forcing lower case. |
