UPSHIFT

During data entry in a character field, the UPSHIFT attribute converts lowercase letters to uppercase letters, both on the screen display, and in the 4GL program variable that stores the contents of that field.

field-tag is the field tag that you declared in the SCREEN section.

Because uppercase and lowercase letters have different ASCII values, storing all character strings in one or the other format can simplify sorting and querying a database.
