subject: Ignoring case

hi John,

 JP> I asked this in OS2REXX but everyone there seems to have gone home...

Is that a FidoNet echo?

 JP> Is there a way to ignore case when comparing variables? (without parse
 JP> upper..)

Like 'IF TRANSLATE(var1) == TRANSLATE(var2)'?  A single argument TRANSLATE
maps it argument to uppercase.

         hugo
