STRCASE - Convert String to UPPER / lower Case

The Convert String to UPPER / lower Case (STRCASE) instruction will convert each alphabetic character in a string to the specified case if that character has an equivalent in that case. If no such conversion is possible the character is unchanged.

An uppercase letter is any of: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, which translate respectively to: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z.
