LWC$ 

The lowercase function, LWC$, converts a string with any uppercase
letters to a string containing only lowercase letters.  An optional
second parameter can be used to specify the native language number.

Syntax 

LWC$ (str_expr [, nl_num_expr] )

Parameters 

str_expr         A string variable, a quoted string, the value returned
                 from a string function, or any expression using the
                 appropriate string operators to construct a string
                 expression.

nl_num_expr      A numeric expression that evaluates to a Native Language
                 ID. If nl_num_expr is set to -1, the underlying native
                 language number is used as the language specifier.  If a
                 non-negative value is used, that number is taken
                 directly as the language specifier.  If this option is
                 not specified then the option defaults to zero (the
                 underlying native language).

The underlying native is NATIVE-3000.  NATIVE-3000 is the language the
system uses before considering Native Language Support.  Refer to "Native
Language Support" in chapter 6 for more information.
