Controlling Output When TABLE Request Retrieves Zero Records

ANSIProduces a single-line report and displays the missing data character or a zero if a COUNT is requested. In each case, &RECORDS will be 0, and &LINES will be 1.If the SQL Translator is invoked, ANSI automatically replaces OFF as the default setting for EMPTYREPORT.

ONProduces an empty report (column headings with no content). This was the default behavior in prior releases.

OFFProduces no report output. OFF is the default value except for SQL Translator requests. ANSI replaces OFF as the default setting for the EMPTYREPORT parameter, so the results are the same as for the ANSI setting.

LCWORD3

37

The LCWORD3 function converts the letters in a character string to mixed-case by converting the first letter of each word to uppercase and converting every other letter to lowercase.

In addition, a single quotation mark indicates that the next letter should be converted to uppercase as long as it is neither followed by a blank nor the last character in the input string.

LCWORD3(length, string, output)
