Converting data items (intrinsic functions)

You can use intrinsic functions to convert character-string data items to several other formats, for example, to uppercase or lowercase, to reverse order, to numbers, or to one code page from another.

You can use the NATIONAL-OF and DISPLAY-OF intrinsic functions to convert to and from national (Unicode) strings.

You can also use the INSPECT statement to convert characters.

Examples: INSPECT statement
