Change Case Process

This combination FOCEXEC and COBOL program will "convert" mixed case bio/demo information to all upper case. It seems like there is always this controversy going around on about whether or not the poastal service has to have address information in all upper case. Of course, all caps doesn't look too nice on correspondence. In addition, check out this case study for information on my theory behind using COBOL in conjunction with FOCUS. The first FOCUS program retrieves the data. Next, the COBOL program analyzes each character of the created hold file and marks those that have one or more lower case characters. Then the second FOCUS program generates the all caps batch transactions.
