Hello Epidata Listers.
My colleague and I are new to the data entry development game and can't figure out the string functions. Our study id is a combination of one letter and 3 numbers. I'd like for the letter to always be capitalized. It seems that the following might be appropriate somehow:
function Upper(S: string): string Returns a string containing the same text as S, but with all letters converted to upper case.
but I don't understand how it works. Where do I put the function? Do I replace "S" with the variable name "id"? I've tried several variations but since I don't understand the logic, I don't know how to debug my syntax errors.
I'd appreciate any help you could give!
Thanks, Kristine
