CT_POSUPPER

 POSUPPER()
 Finds the position of the first upper case, alphabetic character
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Syntax

     POSUPPER(<cString>,[<lMode>],[<nIgnore>])
        --> nPosition

 Arguments

     <cString>  Designates the string that is searched.

     <lMode>  Designates how the function searches for the first upper
     case, alphabetic character.  The default value (.F.) searches for the
     first alphabetic character that would be changed by the Clipper
     function LOWER().

     <nIgnore>  Designates the number of characters at the beginning of
     the character string that are excluded from the search.  The default
     value excludes none (0).

 Returns

     The value returned corresponds to the position of the character located.
     When no matching character is found, the function returns 0.

 Description

     Starting from the beginning of the string, POSUPPER() searches for the
     first upper case, alphabetic character in the <cString> that corresponds
     to the first character that would be changed by the Clipper LOWER()
     function.  If <lMode> is .T., the function searches for the first non-
     alphabetic character that would not be changed by LOWER().  The
     <nIgnore> parameter can exclude a specific number of characters at the
     beginning of <cString>.

 Notes

     .  Characters located when the <lMode> parameter is .T. are not
        necessarily lower case, alphabetic characters.

     .  The function works in conjunction with the NATION module
        because different languages use different characters to represent
        their alphabets.

 Example

     cString  :=  "123abcUABC"

     ? POSUPPER(cString)                 // Result: 7
     ? POSUPPER(cString, .T.)            // Result: 1
     ? POSUPPER(cString, .F., 7)         // Result: 8
