UPSHIFT
Converts lowercase Roman alphabetic characters to uppercase as part of
the copying operation.
Syntax
;UPSHIFT [;LANG=language]
Where:
language Is the name or number of a supported language.
FCOPY uses the translation associated with that
language. The default is NATIVE-3000. For more
information, refer to the Native Language Support
Reference Manual (32414-90001) for MPE V/E or the
Native Language Programmer's Guide (32650-90022)
for MPE XL.
Operation
You use the language parameter to describe the language conventions you
want to use when you convert characters. You can use any language
installed on your system. If you do not specify a language, FCOPY uses
the default, which is NATIVE-3000.
Most devices that can print only uppercase characters automatically
upshift lowercase characters when you copy a file to them. If you are
copying to such a device, you need not use the UPSHIFT function. If you
are copying to a device that prints uppercase characters only but does
not automatically upshift, then use UPSHIFT.
Examples
In the following example, lowercase Roman alphabetic characters in the
disk file LOWER are converted to uppercase as they are copied to the disk
file UPPER. The contents of LOWER, a NATIVE-3000 file, remain unchanged:
>FROM=LOWER;TO=UPPER;UPSHIFT
In the next example, FCOPY copies the contents of the LOW2 disk file to a
line printer, converting all characters to uppercase according to German
linguistic rules:
>FROM=LOW2;TO=LP;UPSHIFT;LANG=GERMAN
