SimoCASE, What It Does
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The SimoCASE routine (or callable program) will do simple conversion between upper and lower case plus capitalization and editing of specific words within a text string. Based on subsequent calls to SimoCASE with requests (CASE-PASS-REQUEST) of 0, 2 and 3 the following will be returned in the pass area.

Input Record ..... THE QUICK BROWN FOX JUMPED OVER THE LAZY DOG'S BACK
Convert Lower .... the quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog's back
Capitalization ... The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over The Lazy Dog's Back
Edited Words ..... The Quick Brown Fox Jumped Over the Lazy Dog's Back

SimoCASE, How To Use
(Next) (Previous) (Table-of-Contents)

The following will convert the text string from upper case to lower case text..

           MOVE '0'    to CASE-PASS-REQUEST
           MOVE 'THE QUICK BROWN FOX ...' to STD-GREGORIAN-4-EDIT
           CALL 'SIMOCASE'  using CASE-PASS-AREA

A copy file is provided to define the pass area to be used when calling SimoCASE. The following statement is required in the WORKING STORAGE section of the calling program.

       WORKING STORAGE.
       ...
       ...
       COPY PASSCASE.
       ...

The callable case conversion routine will accept a text string of mixed case and provide output in lower case, upper case, capitalized format and/or with editing by specific words. A copy file (PASSCASE.CPY) is provided with the following fields defined.
