Remarks
Lower() is related to Upper(), which converts lowercase and mixed case strings to uppercase. Lower() is also related to IsLower() and IsUpper(), which determine whether a string begins with a lower or uppercase letter. Lower() is generally used to format strings for display purposes.
It can, however, be used to normalize strings for case-independent comparison or indexing purposes. This function is nation-dependent.

X#

2LOCAL cString AS STRING
3cString := "DATA"
