CAPS primary command
The CAPS or CAPS ON commands instruct FM/IMS to convert fields or segments to uppercase, when a subsequent data change takes place. The change affects either the field in which the change is entered or the entire segment, depending upon the current display format:
- In CHAR, HEX or LHEX display format, the entire segment is translated to uppercase.
- In SNGL or TABL display format, only the current field is translated to uppercase.
Any CAPS command temporarily overrides the current setting of the Translate data in data area to uppercase on input field in the Edit/Browse Options panel.
