UPPER (SSIS Expression)

Returns a character expression after converting lowercase characters to uppercase characters.

Syntax

UPPER(character_expression)

Arguments

  • character_expression
    Is a character expression to convert to uppercase characters.

Result Types

DT_WSTR

Remarks

UPPER works only with the DT_WSTR data type. A character_expression argument that is a string literal or a data column with the DT_STR data type is implicitly cast to the DT_WSTR data type before UPPER performs its operation. Other data types must be explicitly cast to the DT_WSTR data type. For more information, see Integration Services Data Types and Cast (SSIS Expression): Convert SSIS Data Types.

UPPER returns a null result if the argument is null.

Examples

This example converts a string literal to uppercase characters. The return result is "HELLO".

UPPER("hello")

This example converts the first character in the FirstName column to an uppercase character. If FirstName is anna, the return result is "A". For more information, see SUBSTRING (SSIS Expression).

UPPER(SUBSTRING(FirstName, 1, 1))

This example converts the value in the PostalCode variable to uppercase characters. If PostalCode is k4b1s2, the return result is "K4B1S2".
