When I do a DBGET I immediately do a :

MOVE FUNCTION UPPER-CASE(DB-BUFFER) TO DB-BUFFER.

It upshifts all the lower-case characters in the buffer correctly as I want
it to do.

However, after having a closer look at it, I have seen that a J2 field in
the DB buffer has been changed!

The value in the DB record = 609, but when I display the value in the
program after the fact it has mysteriously become 577.

Any ideas why this function is trashing the J2 fields ?

TIA,
Brian Donaldson.
