====== LCASE Function ======


 
==== Description ====
 
Converts the input parameter's contents from upper/mixed case to lower case.
 
==== Syntax ====
 
convertedText = LCASE( text )
 
==== Parameters ====
 
The function has the following parameters:

^Parameter^Description^
|text|A string of data.||

 
==== Returns ====
 
Lower case text.
 
==== Remarks ====
 
The function is a wrapper around a "convert @upper_case to @lower_case in text" statement.  It is more efficient to use a "convert" statement than to use the LCASE function.
