$NOCASE.STRINGS Compiler Directive

The $NOCASE.STRINGS directive compiles the program using case insensitive string operations.

Format

$NOCASE.STRINGS

This directive must appear before any executable statements in the program source and applies to the entire program module.

Selecting case insensitive string mode affects the relational operators (=, #, <, >, <=, >=), their multivalue function equivalents (EQS(), NES(), LTS(), GES(), LES(), GES()), the CHANGE(), CONVERT(), COUNT(), DCOUNT(), FIELD(), INDEX() and SWAP() functions and the CONVERT, FIND, FINDSTR and LOCATE statements.
