ajBigStrUpper function
Description
Converts all letters in a big string to uppercase.
Syntax
ajBigStrUpper(memory_id, [run_condition], [run_by_function_point_only])
| Argument Name | Argument Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| memory_id (big string ID) (required) | String | The memory address id that keeps the Big String text. A big string ID can be retrieved from ajBigStrSet() or configure Big String value from More Tools tab in AlchemyJ ribbon. |
| run_condition (optional) | Boolean | The function will run when the value is TRUE. Otherwise will not run. The default value is TRUE. |
| run_by_function_point_only (optional) | Boolean | If it equals FALSE, the function can be executed through ‘Excel Calculation’ (can be either Automatic or Manual, Calculate Now or Calculate Sheet) or Preview Function Point. If it equals TRUE, the function can be executed with Preview Function Point (AlchemyJ ribbon \ Preview Function Point) only. The default value is TRUE. |
The function will return:
1) Return Value: Big String
2) Return Type: Single Value
Example
In this example, we will demonstrate how to transform a Big String in lower case to upper case. In this example, we would be using the Big String 'abc'.
The Big String value we have used here is 'abc'. To use the ajBigStrUpper formula, firstly we have to convert 'abc' into a big string ID. This is done using the ajBigstrSet formula.
After converting into a big string ID, we can then use the formula as shown in B8 and it will return a Big String value.
To verify the result, we can use the ajBigStrValue formula in B10 to make it into a normal String. As seen in B11, we have successfully transformed the Big String into upper case which is 'ABC'.
Error Scenarios
It will return #VALUE! when missing any required parameter or mismatch parameter type. Besides, system will also raise error for below scenario(s).
| Error Scenario |
