   Oops.  That should be typeset -l.

$ typeset -l var
$ var=ABC
$ echo $var
abc

   Shells such as ksh (both PDKSH and AT&T KSH, available in
ports, support this) and bash have a typeset command.  To convert
something to all upper-case is surprisingly easy:

typeset -u variable

   Example:

$ typeset -u f
$ f=abc
$ echo $f
ABC

Hello,

I need in my shell script change upper case to 
lower case for characters. Cureently , I call c 
programm from script which do it.
Is anybody did this inside script?

Thank you
