data following CARDS, CARDS4, DATALINES, DATALINES4, and PARMCARDS statements
values in VALUE and INVALUE statements in the FORMAT procedure
Note: Data read from external files and SAS data sets are not translated to uppercase.
specifies that lowercase characters that occur in the types of input that are listed above are not translated to uppercase.
Comparisons |
The CAPS system option and the CAPS command both specify whether input is converted to uppercase. The CAPS command, which is available in windows that allow text editing, can act as a toggle. The CAPS command converts all text that is entered from the keyboard to uppercase. If either the CAPS system option or the CAPS command is in effect, all applicable input is translated to uppercase.
