LSUCase()

Converts the alphabetic characters in a specified string to uppercase, respecting locale-specific casing rules.

This is particularly important for languages where the standard/ typical (i.e. western) case conversion rules do not apply, ensuring accurate and culturally correct text processing.

The function defaults to the current page's locale if no locale is specified.

Introduced: 6.1.0.37


	LSUCase( string=string, locale=locale );

Returns: String
