Translating to Lowercase in REXX

Translate command in REXX by default converts the input string to upper case and returns the value. However, it is possible to convert to lowercase as well. Lets us see how shall we do that.

Syntax for translate command:

translate(input source, replace string, search string, padding)

Code example:

/*REXX*/

UPPERCASE = 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'     
lowercase = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'     

input= 'HeLLO'

input_upper = translate(input, lowercase, uppercase)

Say 'Original Source  : ' input 

Say 'Translated Source: ' input_upper

This would return value 'hello' which will be stored in input_upper variable
