TOKENUPPER()
Converts the initial letter of a token into upper case
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
TOKENUPPER(<cString>,[<cDelimiter>],[<nNumber>])
--> cString
Arguments
<cString> [@] Designates the string that is searched for tokens
(words).
<cDelimiter> Designates the delimiter list used by the token.
<nNumber> Designates the number of tokens in which the initial
letter is converted into upper case. The default value converts all
tokens.
Returns
The processed character string is returned.
Description
The TOKENUPPER() function converts the initial letter of the tokens in
the <cString> into an upper case letter. If you specify a value for
<nNumber>, only this number of tokens is processed. If you do not
specify a value for <nNumber>, all tokens in <cString> are processed.
The function uses the following list of delimiters by default:
CHR 32, 0, 9, 10, 13, 26, 32, 138, 141
and the characters ,.;:!?/\<<>>()^#&%+-*
The list can be replaced by your own list of delimiters, <cDelimiter>.
Here are some examples of useful delimiters:

Description <cDelimiter>

Pages CHR(12)(Form Feed)
Sentences ".!?"
File Names ":\."
Numerical strings ",."
Date strings "/."
Time strings ":."

Note
. The return value of this function can be suppressed by
implementing CSETREF() to save space in working memory.
Examples
. Convert the initial letter of all tokens into upper case
letters:
? TOKENUPPER("Good morning") //"Good Morning"
. There are no detrimental effects if a larger number of tokens
is specified than are available:
?TOKENUPPER("Good morning",, 5) //"Good Morning"
. Process the first two tokens using your own delimiter:
?TOKENUPPER("/ab/ab/ab", "/", 2) //"Ab/Ab/ab"
