Convert both parameter and table value to Upper case in Select statement

Posted on Jan 21, 2008 at 03:55 PM 765 Views

I have a select statement with where clause. I want to make it not case sensitive. I want to able to convert the value coming form table to upper case and compare it against the parameter that is converted to upper case.

Can some one please give me syntax for that. I know in ABAP there is TRANSLATE statement but I am not sure how to use it in Where clause.

Ex:

WHERE UPPERCASE(fieldName) like UPPERCASE(parameter)

Thanks

    You either have to use native SQL to do this or find another field in the table that is not case sensitive.

    What table and field are you looking at?

    Ravi,

    In domain, see if the flag LOWER CASE is flagged.

    If this indicator is set, upper case and lower case are distinguished when you enter values with screen masks.

    Otherwise all the letters entered will be converted to upper case when you enter values with a screen mask.

    This mechanism is in effect for all the fields referring to this domain.

    Hope this helps

    Hi

    U can only translate the value before selecting the data:

    TRANSLATE <FIELD> TO UPPER CASE.

    But you can't do it while selecting the record, so

    TRANSLATE <FIELD> TO UPPERCASE.

    SELECT * FROM <TABLE> WHERE FIELD = <FIELD>

    But you're sure the table field has only uppercase string.

    Max
