Setting Upper Case in a search field

I have a search firld on a form which works fine except I need to change all characters to upper case.

This is the code. It used to work but something has changed.

var
pn string
endvar

doDefault

pn = self.value
pn = pn.upper()

PTMPTNO.setRange( pn, pn+"z" )

Cheers

looks like a small z, otherwise not clear on what your question is

The field is used to find a part number on a tableframe as a string and to catch the key strokes entered and convert to uppercase. 

This worked before and I'm lost to why it does not now.

is there an error? no results? wrong results?

what event calls this?

pn.view() to see the results

and setrange(pn,pn) is the same as "pn..", even tho the help files don't say that

Hi Steven

This is on the KeyPhysical event on the field

method keyPhysical(var eventInfo KeyEvent)
var
pn string
endvar

doDefault

pn = self.value
pn = pn.upper()

PTMPTNO.setRange( pn, pn+"z" )

endmethod

What I'm trying to achieve is as the field is populatedall lowercase characters are converted to uppercase.

why not just do the "all caps" picture on the field, and be done with it? no code

Hi Steven,

The field is not attached to a table but is used to filter a table frame. That is why I was trying to set all characters in uppercase as it is then used for another search with another button.

ok, an undefined field.. first, that little bit of code should work.. but second, you can still use real fields from dummy tables, in situations liek this, if pictures, lookup tables, etc. can help
