Hello,
I've tested the UCASE and LCASE functions with the german special lower characters ä,ö,ü,ß and the upper characters Ä,Ö,Ü with the little Kix
code:
$TextK = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöüß"
$TextG = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÜ"CLS
BREAK ON
? $TextK
? UCASE($TextK)
? $TextG
? LCASE($TextG)
?
and got as result the following lines:
code:
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöüß
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖüß
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZÄÖÜ
abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzäöÜ
The second line is only incorrect in ü. For ß there is no upper character.
Also the fourth line is incorrect in Ü.
My only question is: Is it a bug or a NON-FEATURE for non-english languages. If it is last I think it will be a good idea to write it into the documentation.
Whats about other languages than german that have special characters?
