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
