COMMENTS

When you use the function UP() the program puts the upcased field in the temporary data space. If you are trying to UP a field that is larger than that space you will get the message that the program is out of room in the temporary data area. This command is provided to you so that you can UP a field larger than the temporary data area within its own space. Using this command you will not run out of memory.
