Output Parameters

What it does
- The routine upcases the contents of UMLXX and walks through the text string, examening each character and if it matches with one out of the list of characters to convert, the character will be substitued by its upcased equivalent, depending on the language used. Following is the table with characters that will be converted and their equivalents, under OS/400 using a German language set:
ü or ] = UE ü or } = UE ä or [ = AE Ä or { = AE ö or \ = OE Ö or ¦ = OE ß or ~ = SS _ = - á or Á = A é or É = E í or Í = I ó or Ó = O ú or Ú = U ý or Ý = Y à or À = A è or È = E ì or Ì = I ò or Ò = O ù or Ù = U â or  = A ê or Ê = E î or Î = I ô or Ô = O û or Û = U õ or Õ = O ø or Ø = O © = S ¹ = S » = T ¾ = Z æ or Æ = AE # = R " = (nothing) - Note: included is also the routine FN_E$UMLMG, which converts the special characters coming from Map&Guide into ASCII 7 characters.
