The string to convert to lowercase.

Return Value

Type: String
cString with all alphabetic characters converted to lowercase.
All other characters remain the same as in the original string.
Remarks
LowerA() is the same as Lower(), except that LowerA() converts both the characters in the original string and the characters in the return value to lowercase. See Lower() for more information.
Tip Tip
You may change more than one variable at the same time (see example below).
Examples
This example shows how LowerA() converts both the original string and the return value to lowercase. Compare the results to the results in the Lower() example:
X#
1LOCAL cString AS STRING
2cString := "DATA"
3? LowerA(cString)        // data
4? cString                    // DATA
This example shows how you may change more than one variable at the same time:
X#
1a := "I Change"
2b := a
3LowerA(b)
4? b                     // "i change"
5? a                     // "i change"
