How to do a case sensitive string comparison in Sage X3?

By | February 8, 2016

There can be a situation when we want to accept string in some text field by end user and want to check its existence in Sage X3 database ignoring case sensitivity.

The toupper or tolower functions are very useful to perform this function.

toupper is used to transform all the lower case letters of a character string to upper case.

Syntax : toupper( expr_c )

Where expr_c  is an Alphanumeric expression that you want to transform in uppercase.

# Compare strings (ignoring upper/lower case differences)

Local char string1(30), string2(30)

String1 = “Hello World!”

String2 = “hello world!”
If toupper(String1) = toupper(String2)
Infbox “The strings are identical!”
Endif

tolower is used to transform all the upper case letters of a character string to lower case.

Syntax : tolower( expr_c )

Where expr_c  is an Alphanumeric expression that you want to transform in lowercase.

# Compare strings (ignoring upper/lower case differences)

Local char string1(30), string2(30)

String1 = “Hello World!”

String2 = “hello world!”
If tolower(String1) = tolower(String2)
Infbox “The strings are identical!”
Endif
