Note: Autocall macros are included in a
SAS library. This library might not be installed at your site or might be
a site-specific version. If you cannot access this macro or if you want to
find out if the library is a site-specific version, see your on-site SAS support
personnel. ![[cautionend]](../../../../common/63294/HTML/default/images/cautend.gif)
The %KLOWCASE and %QKLOWCAS macros change uppercase alphabetic
characters to their lowercase equivalents. If the argument might contain a
special character or mnemonic operator, listed below, use %QKLOWCAS.
%KLOWCASE returns a result without quotation marks, even if the argument
has quotation marks. %QKLOWCAS produces a result with the following special
characters and mnemonic operators masked so the macro processor interprets
them as text instead of as elements of the macro language:
& % ' " ( ) + - * / < > = ¬ ^ ~ ; , blank AND OR NOT EQ NE
