The $LOWCASE function translates an uppercase or mixed-case string into a lowercase string. The translation affects only characters with uppercase and lowercase pairs, for example, A to a through Z to z in U.S. English. These are not strictly keyboard pairs. If the first character in the string is alphabetic, the character is converted to uppercase.
Syntax
$LOWCASE(<var class="term">string</var>[,<var class="term">language</var>])

where:
<var>The string</var> argument represents the characters to verify, which must be entered as follows:
<ul>
<li>A literal enclosed in quotation marks.</li>
</li>
<li>A %variable.</li>
</li>
<li>A field name without quotation marks. In this case, the function call must be embedded in a FOR EACH RECORD loop where the current value of the field is verified.</li>
</li>
</ul>
<var>The optional language</var> argument specifies the language to use, which is handled as follows:
<ul>
<li>Omitting the language argument instructs <var class="product">Model 204</var> to perform the validation in U.S. English, even if the value of the LANGUSER parameter is not US.</li>
</li>
<li>An asterisk enclosed by quotation marks ('*') instructs <var class="product">Model 204</var> to use the value of the LANGUSER parameter.</li>
</li>
<li>You can enter a literal name of a valid language enclosed in quotation marks. If the name you enter is not supported, the request is canceled with an error message. See The LANGUSER parameter in the Rocket <var class="product">Model 204</var> Parameter and Command Reference Manual for the valid values.</li>
</li>
</ul>
Example
The following example returns the string 'Name and address' in U.S. English:
$LOWCASE('NAME AND ADDRESS')

The following example returns the string '�� et l�' in French Canadian:
$LOWCASE('�� ET L�','FRENCHC')
